Discover Florida's wild side with an excursion that showcases its natural beauty and its exotic animals. From Fort Lauderdale, you'll travel to the Everglades, a 1.5 million-acre World Heritage Site devoted to the preservation of the biological diversity and resources of the Everglades ecosystems. Once at the park, you'll step inside the airboat and be whisked away across the "River of Grass" at speeds of up to 50 mph! Be on the lookout for alligators, exotic fish, and tropical birds so have your cameras ready. Following this exciting ride, you'll depart for Flamingo Gardens where you'll climb into a tram and traverse the subtropical grounds that's home to some of Florida's largest and oldest trees, over 90 species of Florida native animals and the colorful flamingo. Before returning to Fort Lauderdale, browse the souvenir shop for last minute gifts or enjoy a snack in the café.
