Airboat tours are typically geared toward eco-tourism and feature wildlife viewing and lectures about the local ecosystem. Most commonly, airboat tours allow viewing of alligators up close, bald eagles in their native habitat, and a host of turtle and bird species. Voice activated headsets allow passengers to listen to the knowledgeable captain as they speak about the river, the native species, and Florida’s amazing natural resources. The headsets also allow passengers to ask questions and learn about the fascinating protected habitats that can only be found in Florida.
Many airboat services understand that tourists want a hands on experience and fun photos to show the folks back home. This is why they often have a few “pets” at their visitor center, such as baby alligators and snakes, that can be handled.
