Weather in Florida is fickle. It may be sunny and hot in the Everglades or it could be scattered showers. All guests are encouraged to bring eye protection and sunscreen. When afternoon showers are possible, it is suggested to bring a rain jacket, if needed. Water is provided; however, if you prefer another beverage, please bring it. If you are on a 2-hour or longer tour, you may want to bring a snack. Note: If you wear a hat, wear it at your own risk; hats may fly away in the wind… never to be seen again.
-
Summer: Wear light-weight clothing and sunglasses. Bring sun protection.
Winter: It gets chilly on the airboat ride, so wear long pants and bring a sweater or jacket.
