Get ready to step into the wild side of Florida! If you love animals, adventure, and getting a little muddy, then a swamp buggy tour with Peace River Charters is the perfect way to explore the outdoors! On this adventure, you’ll discover some of Florida’s coolest creatures—big, small, furry, scaly, and everything in between.
What Is a Swamp Buggy?
A swamp buggy is like your very own safari vehicle! It’s a tall, powerful ride with huge tires that can rumble through mud, splash through puddles, and roll right over rough terrain. Sitting way up high gives you a bird’s-eye view of the terrain, making it easier to spot animals hidden in the trees, water, or brush. It’s the ultimate adventure-mobile!
Critters You Might See
The Peace River region is full of amazing wildlife! You might see alligators soaking up the sun, turtles stretched out on logs, deer sneaking through the trees, or wild hogs sniffing through the grass. Keep your eyes peeled for birds like hawks, owls, and herons, too! No two rides are ever the same, you never know what you’ll see!
Where to Look for Animals
Different animals have favorite hangout spots, so knowing where to look is key:
- Water’s edge: Alligators, turtles, and wading birds
- Tree branches: Owls, hawks, and other big birds
- Forest floor: Deer, hogs, raccoons, and smaller critters
- Logs and riverbanks: Lizards, baby turtles, and sunbathers
With your swamp buggy’s high view, you’ll be able to spot animals from all angles!
Best Times to Spot Critters
Animals in Florida are most active during the cooler times of day. Early morning and late afternoon are perfect for spotting movement as animals search for food or head out on their own adventures. But don’t worry, Florida wildlife is busy all day long, so you’re sure to see something special no matter when you ride!
