For nearly ten years, Florida EcoSafaris has been offering Coach Safaris and Horseback Safaris into the 4,700 acre Forever Florida wildlife conservation area. Boasting 9 unique Florida ecosystems ranging from pine flatwoods to marsh and cypress domes, the area is home to countless varieties of flora and fauna including alligators, black bears, nearly 200 species of birds and the endangered Florida panther.
The new Zipline Safari takes guests on a two and a half hour adventure beginning with a short hike along a scenic section of the Florida Trail, one of only eight National Scenic Trails in the US, as they head toward the launching point of the zipline course. Led by an expert guide, guests will “zip” among the trees from platform to platform along a system of seven high-tension cables. The breathtaking aerial view of the wilderness is the perfect vantage point to spot wildlife and learn about Florida’s ecology and history. The course includes two sky-bridges passing over otherwise inaccessible areas of forested wetland. Advance reservations required. Call 1-866-85-4EVER.
