Bring Bug Spray Year-Round
The Everglades’ marshy environment can attract mosquitoes, especially in warmer months—pack insect repellent to stay comfortable.
Secure Loose Items on the Airboat
High speeds and wind can easily carry away hats, sunglasses, and light gear—use straps or stow items safely.
