If you want to experience the Florida Everglades without the deafening roar of an airboat propeller in your ear, take a Pole Boat tour with Everglades Adventure Tours. What's a Pole Boat tour? Well, instead of being propelled through the water by motor, or with oars, your guide will use a very long pole to quietly glide through the vast landscape, much like the early settlers and Native Americans did. It's fantastic. So peaceful.
A Florida native guide will pole you through the Everglades and provide fantastic narration complete with amazing facts and cultural information about life in the Glades. You can also choose to take a canoe tour, a swamp hike or a backcountry camping excursion. It's all good!
Everglades Adventure Tours provides Pole Boat tours in Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Fakahatchee Strand State Park, and Collier-Seminole State Park .
