Gliding through the Everglades in an airboat must be similar to the African savannah in a jeep, at least that's what I imagined as we cruised at high speeds for half an hour. This is a South Florida must-do for any local or tourist. We saw a couple of aligators, but this experience is not defined by gator sightings. At one point, our guide stopped the boat and got out in his bare feet to prove how safe he thought the Glades were. He then encouraged us to do the same, which we did. Do it. Go stand barefoot in the Everglades!
