More Reasons To Enjoy Airboat Rides In Florida

The project of building bridges in Tamiami Trail brought a good news to the rest of the wetlands. The reason is that they have the potential to bring back the water from the River of Grass into the Shark Valley which can help preserve the Everglades. The Glade's overall wet area had been reduced. But once the project is done, the water that would slide off the bridge would be enough to produce more water to some parts of the area. It is also a good news for the operators of airboat rides in Florida as it can bring myriads of opportunities to organize fresh tours in the wilderness. Eric Eikenberg, director of Everglade Foundation also noted that the project would appraise educational tour for the guests. Appreciating the raw beauty inside the wilderness of Florida has now gone better. The more water the bridges bring, the more it can restore the beauty of the wetlands. Thus, the main goal here is to enrich Everglades more.

Operators of Airboat Rides in Florida Are up For Fighting The “Python Plague”

If you're a nature aficionado with a taste of adventure with wild species, you would love to join the “2013 Python Challenge” which in begun on January 12, 2013 and ended February 10, 2013. The said event was held at the Florida Everglades in an effort of The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to trim down the population of invasive Burmese pythons inhabiting in the Florida Everglades. The Everglades, known for its amazing wildlife adventures such as airboat rides in Florida, an airboat tour that lets the visitor see the entire park, faces a problem with growing population of Burmese pythons that abates the number of of raccoons, opossums, bobcats, rabbits, and other mammals in the python-plagued areas. With the total 68 Burmese pythons that caught after the challenge, operators of airboat rides in Florida like Ride-the-Wind hope that the outcome this python-hunting affair would somehow bring back the balance in ecosystem of the nature park.

Feeding Gators and Crocs is a big NO for airboat rides in Florida

Do you remember the time your mother used to tell you the story of Peter Pan, specifically the part where an alligator frequently chased Capt. Hook? Though the story is fictional, it has an uncanny similarity to a story published in USA Today about an airboat operator arrested for feeding the crocs. Since it is not natural for alligators to interact with humans, citizens and tourists are advised not to feed the crocs in the marshes and wetlands. The incident involving the airboat operator may raised some issues about the safety of airboat rides in Florida, so the authorities reminded the Everglades airboat rides operators the Section 667, Chapter 372 of the Florida Statutes that prohibits feeding wild alligators and crocodiles. This law seeks to protect both humans and gators from harming each other due to careless acts. So to avoid such incident in the future, it would be best to follow the law to a letter and tuck your hands inside the craft at all times.
