Having seen enough in the series how the Miami police famously cut through the water expanses of the state in propeller boats, I could not miss the opportunity to get such pleasure. The easiest way for a mere mortal to ride an air boat is to visit the Everglades National Park. This is a huge wetland located in the southern part of the Florida peninsula. The park consists of swamps, prairies and jungles. No economic activity is carried out here, and therefore there are a lot of living creatures in the reserve, including alligators and big cats. It is better to book a ticket via the Internet, it will be cheaper and faster. I will say right away - half an hour is not enough. Speed, splashes in the face, sharp turns - a great opportunity to cheer up. Air boats are quite noisy, so everyone is given earplugs. They drown out the noise of the engine, and the guide's story too. The boat is propelled by a huge fan, which allows it to overcome 30 cm depths without problems.
During the excursion along the floodplains there were several stops, but it is difficult to see the game. This can be done in the mini-zoo on the shore. Moreover, not only to contemplate, but also to try on the tooth. There is a van where they cook crocodile meat. The souvenir shop struck me with terrible parodies of the local fauna, and the prices for this rubbish. And here is the video: https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=Gf2lKEanpYo
