About This Adventure
Swamp Mud
- 5 person vintage swamp buggy was custom built for the Big Cypress National Preserve
- Perfect high seat adventure through the land mass of what is known by many as the North American Amazon
Swamp Mud XXX, “Dare to get dirty” Our sweet 5 person vintage swamp buggy was custom built for the Big Cypress National Preserve. It has been completely refurbished to give you the quietest, smoothest and most comfortable ride possible without taking away its aging charm.
Smooth is a little overstated as we ride deep into the Glade’s pinelands, hardwoods, and wetlands, and the quiet part is true to form in enabling us to sneak up on wild animals. Swamp Mud XXX is Everglades' nostalgia at its best. No need to think about doing this tour, just do it! This is a check mark off your bucket list for sure.
