Boat Tours to Learn Where are Swamps Found

A swamp is an area of land saturated or filled with water. Swamps come in two types: freshwater swamps and saltwater swamps. Located across various states, it is not easy to find them. Here in Florida, you can see them in isolated or hard-to-reach areas.

But, where are swamps found exactly? Depending on the type of swamp, you cannot find them on land or in water. For freshwater swamps, you can find them inland. As for saltwater swamps, they are usually found along coastal areas. They exist in various kinds of climates and vary in size. There are a lot of animals also living in swamps, such as alligators, frogs, turtles, birds, and many more. 

With this in mind, it is advisable not to go to swamps alone. Even if you are adventurous, it is better to explore the swamps of Florida with a tour guide. Thus, we recommend getting airboat swamp tours. 

Preparing for Swamp Boat Tours in Florida

Airboat swamp tours are perfect for thrill-seekers. It is an open-top boat that does not have any share to cover you from the heat.

The boat has a loud engine, but the noise is actually part of the fun of your tour. Its small size can fit up to nine passengers, depending on the build of the tourists.

For a more up close and personal encounter with the swamp life, the airboat vessel is perfect for you. You will feel the wind on your face, as well as a slight mist while the boat is moving. Then, the green and blue view is one of the things that you can look forward to in airboat swamp tours.

With these tours, the expert guides will provide you with a lot of information about the swamps in Florida. At the same time, it is not for the faint of heart. Swamp tours take you to places that are wet, filled with wildlife, and surrounded by dirty areas. 

So, if you plan to book airboat swamp tours, make sure to prepare for it. Here are some tips that we recommend: 

1. Bring a poncho or an umbrella. In a swamp tour, the weather can become unpredictable. Instead of buying in the gift shop, it is best to bring your own poncho, umbrella, or raincoat. This way, you prepare for rainy or sunny weather. 
2. Bring insect repellent spray or lotion. When you are on a swamp tour, it is possible for some tourists to experience mosquito and other bug bites. To avoid this, bring an insect repellent spray or lotion and apply them before going to the swamp. This way, you will not be uncomfortable in your tour and you can enjoy it to the fullest. 
3. Waterproof your camera or smartphone. While there is less chance that you will fall into a swamp, you should still keep your gadgets safe. Place your smartphones or cameras in waterproof casings or plastics. Charge them beforehand, so you can take lots of pictures without the battery getting low. 
4. Put sunblock or sunscreen. Getting sunburned after a swamp tour is always a pain. We recommend applying sunblock or sunscreen before during the boat ride. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays, so you can have a fun tour without any pain.
5. Always have cash with you. While you may spend a lot, it never hurts to have little cash with you. You can use it to buy snacks and drinks before the boat ride. If you are feeling generous or enjoyed the tour, you can tip the captain and guide.
6. Wear athletic or waterproof shoes/sandals. This is an adventure where you can get dirty. Thus, we recommend you wear athletic shoes or waterproof sandals. This way, you do not have to experience aching feet or slipping on water puddles. 
7. Wear comfortable and breathable clothing. While the clothing in swamp tours is casual, you can never be too sure of the elements. If it is cool, you can get wet. If it is how, you can perspire a lot. Bring light clothing that you can layer on and off, so that you are comfortable during the tour.
