Spouse Outing: Airboat Adventure at Old Florida
Fish Camp
Thursday, January 5
8:30am-4:30pm
Imagine seeing the world in a whole new light. This educational excursion takes you into the seldom visited heart of natural Florida. You will see natural, protected wetland hammocks, walk through ancient Flatwoods, and travel by airboat into sections of fresh water marshes and upriver, into the bald cypress swamp - home of the Florida alligator, American bald eagle, and a myriad of wildlife. Certified eco-guides, biologists, botanists, and experts are trained to assure that you come away with a new profound understanding of Florida’s vastly different land and plant communities and the importance of their interrelationship and preservation. You’ll see up close a marvelous assortment of birds, reptiles, and plants - some endangered, some threatened, and a few native species found in this area affectionately called “The Central Florida Everglades.”
The day’s experiences will start on the bus ride to the Tosohatchee Florida Trail, an eco-system that borders a marsh, and a Tour Guide will narrate to your guests’ en-route. The certified eco-guides will take you on an easy 30 minute walk into the heart of this pristine wilderness before you are transferred to a 100 year old outpost, a turn-of-the-century fish camp.
Upon arrival, your guests will enjoy a sampling of alligator tail and a cold beverage while lunch is cooked fresh at the 100 year old Fish Camp. Afterwards, you will board an airboat to ride the American Heritage River. Each airboat has its own guide and a Coast Guard licensed boat captain. Learn about the fresh water eco-system, alligators, and the many creatures that call this habitat home. This is an easy adventure without the dirt or danger. The ambiance of the fish camp and the natural beauty of Florida will make this outing memorable.
