Coopertown The Original Airboat Tour: 22700 SW 8th St, Miami, Florida, USA

This tour goes into the heart of the Everglades, where the body of water flows slowly in the middle of the grass.

Ready to board the boat

The boat has a large automobile engine which makes a loud noise

On the boat

It follows a man-made canal first

Then it comes to an open field

The boat stops here for a while.  This is what most of the Everglades look like.  It is a slow-moving body of water between the grass.  The view looks like this in all 360 degrees.  The water is so slow that it seems like standing still.

The water is not deep; it is about 2 feet deep.

We discovered alligators.  There are about 700,000 to 1 million alligators in the Everglades.

We are back to the starting area.
