Vero Beach, FL Exit 147: Captain Bob’s Airboat Adventure Tours – Perched in the stadium seating with headphones for the informative narration, the airboats are like taking a Disney ride on the edge of the Everglades, only about 10 mi. off I-95.
The boats can drive over the water vegetation without harming anything. They can inch very very slowly to glimpse gators, osprey (hope you get to see Ozzie and Harriet), peregrine falcons, armadillo or anhingas – or fly at high speeds across the open stretches of water. What fun!
