Billy's Swamp Safari

	Map		Reviews

For those who want their Florida vacations to feature something really unique, a trip to Billy's Swamp Safari, roughly 2,000 acres on the Big Cypress reservation, is definitely worth the excursion. Though a bit of a hike from anywhere in South Florida, this incredible area, - reached by going approximately halfway across Alligator Alley (I-75), then north about 17 miles, feels as if are in the state's heart because of it's pristine vistas, spread out before you like an African savannah. You can enter and explore, courtesy of the Florida Seminole Indians, who will graciously share their heritage and history with you and educate you with knowledgeable tour guides. The swamp buggy tour takes a good couple of hours and the large, big wheeled vehicle is really fun to ride. It will bounce you along jeep-style, on narrow trails through hardwood hammocks, cypress domes and deep patches of swamp water. You'll follow Sam Jones Trail, named after the famous Seminole who was a fierce guiding spirit behind the Seminoles' resistance to being relocated by the U.S. Army. [Other Resource]
