Jungle Erv's Airboat Tours

Jungle Erv's Airboat Tours offers rides along the water to give passengers the chance to experience the everglades and the wildlife. The Ticket Headquarters is located on US 41, just half a mile west of State Road 29 and the Visitor Center. Tours depart daily from 9am to 5pm and last one hour. They are conducted by experienced captains who provide a commentary on the area and its wildlife.

The tour provides passengers with the thrill of a high speed ride through the mangrove forests as well as a great chance to see some wildlife close up. The highlight of the tour is the chance to see some alligators, which live in the waters here. The tour guides are very experienced at dealing with alligators and will ensure the safety of passengers at all times.

This is the only place in the world where crocodiles and alligators exist side by side with Highway 41 acting like a dam leaving separate areas of fresh and salt water. Other wildlife seen here includes manatees, wild pigs and deer. It is also a great way to see various bird species such as eagles, egrets, osprey, sandhill cranes and heron amongst others.
