Wooten's Everglades
Wooten's Everglades is an air-boat tour company along highway 41 going to Miami. I went searching from something to do on a Sunday afternoon and ran across their website. Although I wasn't sold initially since their site takes a while to extract a working phone number, the 800 number worked not so lucky with the local one. But since I haven't been out in the everglades for a long time and my girfriend had never been out, I decided to go.
Below are some photos of the trip.
Overall it was a pretty good time, I just wish the drive hadn't been three
times longer than the actual boat ride. Our tour guide seemed very
knowledgeable about the surrounding area and habitat, he took almost
every opportunity get most of the guests a little soaked with well
provoked boat turns. Also, they don't tell you this, but when you buy
your ticket, you have to wait around for a minimum of thirty minutes even
though their site says they have boats leaving every half hour. I am
sure there is some level of false advertising here, I tried to plan according
and arrive 5 minutes before departure but my attempts were dashed by
this unwritten policy. Their gift shop is conveniently located within
walking distance, I am sure this has something to do with the "waiting
period".
