firefly333 Posted January 7, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Im not sure what everglades excursion there could be except a airboat?? If that is it GO. I loved the airboat, we went probably further into the everglades than you can get to from the port ... but its like flying across the water, very noisy. the motor is LOUD, you will have to wear ear plugs. .. but it was so fun.

bige1039 Posted January 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2010 You take a bus-all luggage stays on the bus-:Dand go to Everglades Park. After boat ride there is an alligator show- You then go to airport and get your luggage , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me alittle about the airboat tour? I am really considering it for our stop at Port Canaveral, but I am concerned that it may be too fast/dangerous for the kids (ages 4 and 7). I think it would be so much fun... and my kids love the movie The Waterboy (with Adam sandler) and it would be great to ride like Bobby Bouche!!! ;) Were there other children on the airboat... or would this be more of an adults excursion? TUIA!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollie Posted January 8, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I could be wrong, but I don't think the airboat ride would be offered out of Port Canaveral. Everglades are too far away. Rollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills blasters Posted January 8, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2010 We did it 2 years ago out of Ft. Lauderdale. I think it was $45 per person. We got on special busses, with our luggage underneath. The airboat ride would be fine for children. Nothing that fast or dangerous about it. After the ride we saw an alligator show and then they gave us time to have a snack or buy stuff. We got back to the airport about 1:00. They dropped us right off at the terminal with our luggage. They told us a lot of good stuff on the bus ride there and back. I liked it a lot. I think the kids would like it, especially seeing the alligators and the other wildlife.

Ivy1908 Posted January 8, 2010 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2010 My sis and I are thinking of taking this excursion also since we have a 4pm flight out of Ft Lauderdale after our cruise in March. Sounds fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpgirl65 Posted January 8, 2010 Author #13 Share Posted January 8, 2010 thanks we did'nt even think about bug spray was your excur. $45 or more? was the airboat fast and fun? would you do it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn cruiser Posted January 9, 2010 #14 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't remember the exact cost, it seemed like a very good price for the tour and airport transportation. The boats stop a lot, and I don't remember them going fast. Sorry not much help. The place we were at was called Gator Park Waterboat Tours.
