Florida
I take everyone who visits Florida for the first time to a $35 wildlife attraction instead of Disney World
- I’ve lived in Florida for seven years, and the first thing I do with guests is an airboat ride.
- Airboats glide through Florida swamps, allowing visitors to observe wildlife without disrupting it.
- The boat ride is educational, and I love to get some deep-fried gator bites afterward.
I’ve lived in Florida for the last seven years. Since I’m located close to Disney World and the beach, I get a lot of out-of-state visitors.
But I always add something else to our agenda: a 30-minute, $35 airboat ride.
The boats, featuring flat bottoms and an aircraft-type propeller, zip tourists through the Florida wilderness to spot wildlife.
Here’s what my most recent airboat ride was like.
