This one starts at Gator Park on the edge of the Everglades, and it's among the cheapest airboat rides you'll find. A guide narrates as the boat skims across the sawgrass, pointing out alligators, turtles and wading birds, and explaining how this "River of Grass" works and why it's protected.
After the ride there's a nature show about the local wildlife and preservation work. The operator describes itself as one of the authorized concessioners inside Everglades National Park.
