Well, being native Floridians, my family always had this dream of owning the most exciting and pristine airboat tour company in Central Florida. It was mainly a case of finding the right location to do it. We spent years of searching for the perfect location cheap last minute travel deals before we stumbled across the beautiful shores of Cypress Lake at the headwaters of the Everglades – and Wild Florida was born!
Oh boy, working with family can be the best part of running a business but it can also be the worst part! But I think the fact that we are family owned and operated means that all of our guests really get to experience the true Southern hospitality cheap last minute travel deals and old Florida charm. cheap last minute travel deals We like to think that personal touch gives them an experience they’ll never forget.
Well, we guarantee that you won’t see any development, houses or signs of human life on our airboat tours – once you’re out there on the boats there’s nothing around but 100% pure Florida Everglades at their finest!
We’re also the only airboat and wildlife park experience in Orlando. Expanding our wildlife park has meant that we can now offer the only ½-day airboat cheap last minute travel deals attraction . Everyone who takes our airboat tours gets free admission to the wildlife park, which I think is incomparable to any of the other Everglades tour companies out there. We promise there’s nothing quite like us in the state of Florida!
Most of the time our tours travel in 6 inches of water or even less, so airboats are really the only boats that can navigate the Everglades’ shallow water. Also, the swamps, rivers and marshes that make up our ecosystem are so full of vegetation that the traditional outboard cheap last minute travel deals boat propellers are just impossible to use.
Personally, I love seeing all the different species of birds in the Everglades – there’s literally hundreds! Some of my favourites are the purple gallinule, falcons, snail kite, caracara, blue-winged teal, mallard ducks, limpkin, roseate spoonbill, bald eagles, painted buntings…. I could go on for a while!
The main problem we have is with invasive species - plants and animals that aren’t native but they’ve cheap last minute travel deals been released into our ecosystem. For example when people empty their home aquarium cheap last minute travel deals plants into surrounding lakes… there’s a plant called hydrilla that’s really choking out the waterways. There’s also aquarium fish like tilapia, oscars and others that have been released and are now thriving cheap last minute travel deals in our swamps.
Our biggest fear is the spread of pythons and other constrictor species that have taken root in the Everglades 2 hours south of us. It’s only a matter of time before they adapt to our colder climate and spread north into our ecosystem.
Yes you will! Most of the gators in the park are nuisance trapped gators… troublemakers! When a gator ends up in somebody’s pool, backyard, front door or living room (yep, it’s happened!), they’ll call a state licensed trapper to come get them.
But once a gator’s been trapped, they’re labelled “Nuisance Gators” and can’t be released back into the wild. They either have to be euthanised or relocated to a captive environment. cheap last minute travel deals So that’s where we come in! Wild Florida has a standing cheap last minute travel deals agreement to take any trapped gators - and we promise to give them a happy, pampered life.
We do! We have so many amazing creatures that obviously we wanted to include some of them in our Wild Florida exhibits. You’ll also see lemurs, tropical birds, reptiles, skunks, raccoons, bobcats, farm animals and deer at the park.
We have loads of plans that we’re really excited about! By January we’ll have opened a massive, beautifully-finished meeting space overlooking the swamp, for hosting events, weddings, cheap last minute travel deals family reunions, birthday parties and conventions. It’ll be a fully-enclosed, air-conditioned building with seating for 200! There’ll also be a restaurant BBQ next door with Southern-style smoked meats, fried alligator, hamburgers and hotdogs.
