Coopertown AirBoat Rides

We first go into the vast open saw grass where you will see why the Everglades are called the "River of Grass”! You will travel by Airboat through a Hardwood Hammock (a small island of solid ground in the "river of grass”), into the Everglades National Park stopping at alligator holes and seeing the abundance of ‘glades wildlife. See the Purple Gallanule voted the most colorful bird in Florida and the endangered Everglade Snail Kite as well as herons, grackles, turtles, raccoons and other Everglades residents! The Everglades are a truly unique and vibrant environment which you can only experience first hand! Unless you brought your hip waders, a private airboat tour is the best way to see it! (And much drier, too!)

After this fascinating and educational airboat tour, relax and enjoy a taste of ‘Down Home' cooking, Everglades-style. The Coopertown Restaurant offers such delicacies as frog legs, ‘gator tail, catfish and more! All served in a friendly country manner that is distinctly "Floridian”. "Belly up” to the bar and meet the folks of Coopertown! Learn some of the fascinating history of the area, and check out the guest book to see who else has passed through and enjoyed a ride on a Coopertown Airboat! Take a closer look at these fascinating creatures in our Alligator Exhibit! What a cute little guy! Popular enough to have a college mascot named for it!
