Full description
Discover Shingle Creek in Central Florida on a 1.5-hour airboat tour into the headwaters of the Florida Everglades. Travel back in time to the days before urban development and the theme parks of Orlando encroached on the Florida swamps. Go to the site where the largest living estuary in the world starts from a little creek, and capture the splendor of nature on your camera. Hear stories about the Native Americans and early settlers who carved their trails into the swamps. Travel by state-of-the-art, 8-12 passenger stadium seating boat for unobstructed views of the diverse wildlife and plant life. Venture into a natural, living environment of lush vegetation, and glide through swamp marsh and wet prairie land. Venture into the thick vegetation, looking for endangered American Bald Eagles, all sizes of American Alligator, and the many other species of wildlife that inhabit the largest sub-tropical eco-system in the continental United States.

Scott was so real, funny, and engaging! My son was the only kid in the group (12 yrs) and he made sure the tour was educational, but in a “fun” way. We saw several alligators, but the boat ride alone was worth the cost. One of our favorite Florida experiences!!!

Absolutely brilliant morning. Captain Scott was an absolute pleasure to meet made us feel very welcome. He’s a wealth of knowledge and genuinely lovely guy, we had a fantastic experience saw 5 gators which was very lucky the Everglades are stunning, would recommend this trip to anyone. The kids really enjoyed it even if they didn’t utter a word. Thank you again Scott pleasure to meet you.

Saw eight alligators - wow! Capt Scott promised only one, which is realistic since you can’t control wildlife, but we saw one at every stop. The wildlife was great, the scenery was great and we were thrilled with seeing so many alligators. The reason that I am putting 4 stars instead of 5 is Capt Scott was about as warm and social as one of the alligators. He’s obviously knowledgeable and skilled; just isn’t blessed with a ton of social skills or abilities to connect with kids. If you don’t mind that and want to see real, live alligators hissing at you with open mouths, this is the tour for you!
