 See the wilds of
Forever Florida like never before – from high above the treetops.
Our
new Zipline Safari will take you on a
two and a half hour adventure
like none other, reaching heights
of 55 feet and speeds up to 20 mph. You'll
sail above
it all on our breathtaking aerial
nature tour
- a network of cables designed to send thrill-seekers flying
through Pine Flatwoods and over wetlands and prairie, home to
native Florida wildlife including alligators, black bears, white
tail deer and the endangered Florida Panther.
Zip through
Forever Florida
You'll start with a short hike along a scenic section of the
Florida Trail, one of only eight National Scenic Trails in the US,
as you head toward the launching point of the zipline course. Led
by an expert guide, you'll “zip” among the trees from platform to
platform along a system of seven high-tension cables. The
 breathtaking
aerial view of the wilderness will be the perfect vantage point to
spot wildlife and learn about Florida’s ecology and history.
Adding to the adventure, the course will also include two
sky-bridges passing over a
slough, a type of forested wetland.
The final zip
brings guests to ground level near our animal interactions area
which features a cougar, alligators and other animals.
 Spend
some time with them and then catch the next safari coach transport back to the
welcome center.
Preserving Native
Florida
Florida EcoSafaris follows one of the prime directives of
eco-tourism, the concept of giving back. A full 30% of tour
revenues from the Zipline Safari, Coach Safari and Horseback
Safaris are donated to the conservation effort with the goal of
acquiring additional lands to be preserved at Forever Florida.
The Beauty of
Forever Florida
For
nearly ten years, Florida EcoSafaris has been offering Coach
Safaris and Horseback Safaris into the 4700 acre Forever Florida
wildlife conservation area. This pristine site boasts 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.
