Touring with strangers can be a deterrent, especially with the health crisis brought on by COVID-19. Visiting the Everglades by private airboat rides is the safest way to discover the incredible wildlife and nature Florida has to offer. Social distancing and face masks are now part of our Boca Raton airboat rides. It is an aspect we take seriously to ensure your good health and the health of our employees and their families.

The current public health advisory advice for the State of Florida advises wearing face coverings if social distancing is not possible. You should refrain from gatherings of more than ten people; avoiding crowds, closed spaces, and close contact.

Exposure to COVID-19 has become a daily risk when going to public places, and as such, you can risk more by touring with a group of strangers. This is why we offer private airboat rides, so you, your family, and your friends can visit the Everglades with more safety in mind. No need to be part of a large group of strangers; instead, you can feel safer with your private group.

Private bookings can also allow you to have fewer people present, which can make distancing easier as you will potentially have more room in the boat to spread around. Our private airboat rides take place outdoors in the open air, so you will not be confined indoors. Our private tours aim at bringing a more intimate and safer experience.

If you are traveling to Florida, you will want to read the CDC guidelines for travel during COVID-19. The more cases at your destination, the higher you put yourself at risk of infection. Furthermore, be mindful that older adults and people with underlying medical conditions have a higher risk of severe illness.

Here are the steps you should take to protect yourselves and others while traveling:

• Wear a mask, keep your mouth and nose covered when you are in public.
• Try to stay 6 feet apart from people, avoid close contact from people that are not from your household.
• Wash your hands often, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if you can.
• Avoid contact with anyone who is sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.

It is always best to book your airboat ride in advance, even more so with the current health crisis. A private booking gives you that peace of mind that everything is ready and safe. There is no reason why you can’t enjoy your tour. We look forward to making you discover the best wildlife Florida has to offer.

If you have any questions about safety, please ask Captain Wayne Jr during your booking. He will have all the information you need, ensuring that your tour is safe and in good hands. So book a ride today, and rest assured that your boat tour will be not only a great time but also a safe time.
