Florida Adventures
When going on a “REAL SAFARI” deep into the Florida Everglades, you should bring the following items:
Summer Time: June - September
1. Sun block that does not burn your eyes
2. Hat to wear when your airboat is not moving
3. Polarized sunglasses, so you can see the alligators and fish under the surface
4. Change of clothes, just in case you slip on a gator
5. Raincoat, if you want
6. Wind breaker, if you tend to get chills – the air temperature drops 20 degrees when moving
7. Cameras
Winter Time: End of September - End of April
1. Please listen! BRING WARM CLOTHES - YOU WILL BE COLD!

7. Please be on time. There may be a scheduled Safari right after yours and we may not be able to adjust the trips times.
8. Did I mention the WARM CLOTHES?! Let me share this with you. I had a wonderful customer from Alaska, built with plenty of insulation, that said the following: “I'm from Alaska. I don't get cold in Florida”. Well, after a short ride, the same gentleman came to me shivering and said the following with chattering teeth: “C-c-captain, I'mmm f-f-freezzzzing! D-d-do y-y-you have anny thing I-I-I c-c-can wr-wrap uppp w-w-with?” Well, I took a blanket off the bed, and this is what he wore for the rest of trip! I can' tell you how many times this keeps happening! Bring Warm Clothes! I Do!
God Bless - Let's have the thrill of a life time!
