What to Bring on our Everglades Holiday Park Airboat Tours
Camera
Your captain will bring you up-close and personal to some of Florida’s most unique wildlife. Don’t miss a shot during your Everglades boat tour! Bring your camera for priceless photo ops so you can cherish the memories from your experience aboard a one-of-a-kind Everglades tour.Water
You’ll want to stay hydrated as you glide across the open sawgrass and mangrove forests. Don’t forget water! This may be one of the most important things to remember on your airboat checklist, especially during the hot and humid temperature experienced aboard some Miami airboat tours.Comfortable, Practical Clothing
What you wear should depend on the weather forecast of the day. However, we always recommend keeping high-maintenance clothes at home. Remember, an Everglades boat takes you straight through the wilderness. Your trip will be both fun and relaxing, so make sure you wear comfortable, practical clothing.Summer Clothing Recommendations
We recommend you wear shorts, a t-shirt or blouse, and a pair of flip-flops or sandals. It rains frequently during the summer in Florida, and our airboat rides run rain or shine. You’ll want to keep a poncho on hand if you want to stay dry on your next Everglades National Park airboat tours!Winter Clothing Recommendations
We suggest wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt. You may want to have a sweater, jacket, or even a windbreaker handy, especially as the airboat approaches higher speeds and winds. However, this weather is rarely experienced during Everglades National Park boat tours.Sun Protection
It’s no secret – South Florida is HOT! Even though you’re out on the water, it’s important to protect your eyes and your skin. We recommend that you bring sunglasses and sunscreen so you’re relishing in memories after your Everglades tours.Polarized Sunglasses
With plenty of marine life to be seen below the surface, polarized sunglasses make it easier to spot the alligators and fish as they swim on by during your Everglades airboat ride.Binoculars
This often-forgotten item is best for Everglades sightseeing. Our captains keep a safe distance from the animals as they lay in their natural habitats to keep from disturbing them. But don’t fret! You’ll come right up to animals like alligators and birds. However, you may have better luck observing other native Everglades animals through binoculars.Bug Spray
Don’t leave home without it! Carry a bug repellant to prevent bites and stings from the insects in the Everglades.Questions
Always bring questions! Our airboat captains have several years of experience navigating the Everglades. They not only know the ins and outs of the ‘glades but also love to share all their knowledge on this subtropical wilderness and its exotic nature! Make sure to get the most out of your day sightseeing in Florida by having all of your questions about the Florida Everglades answered by a vetted professional.What NOT to Bring on an Airboat Tour
You’ll want to avoid wearing expensive jewelry or clothing that could fly away once the boat reaches higher speeds. You’ll also want to pack light. Although we have plenty of room on our airboats, you’ll want to be comfortable rather than crowded or smushed on the airboat.
