Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Everglades Day Safari?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Everglades Day Safari! Kids generally love it, especially the airboat ride. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need to be in a life jacket on the airboat, which is provided. It's a great way to introduce them to nature, but you'll want to check with the provider to confirm their policies, just in case.

Q: What should we wear for the Everglades tour? Any recommendations?

A: Definitely wear comfortable clothes and shoes since you'll be walking during the nature walk! Lightweight, breathable materials are best, and don’t forget a hat and sunscreen. If you're going on the airboat, be prepared for some wind, so a light jacket could help. Also, quick-dry materials are a plus if you might get splashed!

Q: Is the lunch included in the price, and what kind of food do they serve?

A: Yes, lunch is included! You get to eat at a waterside restaurant, which is a nice touch. The menu has a mix of appetizers and entrees, mostly seafood like fish tacos and shrimp, but they do offer some non-seafood options too. Just let them know if you have dietary restrictions when you book.

Just did the Everglades Day Safari—what an adventure!

I went on the Everglades Day Safari last week and it was amazing! The airboat ride was such a thrill, we saw a bunch of alligators and even a few birds. The nature walk was super interesting, the guide knew so much about the cypress trees. Lunch was at a cute spot by the water, and I loved the fish tacos! Definitely recommend it for a day out. Just keep an eye on the weather since it can change fast in Florida.

Considering the Everglades tour as a birthday gift, anyone recommend?

I'm thinking about gifting the Everglades Day Safari to my dad for his birthday. He loves nature and hasn't been to the Everglades before. Is it suitable for older folks? Any tips for getting the most out of the experience? Thanks!
