Florida is loved and known for many reasons, including its reputation as the retirement state and the vibrant party scene in the metropolitan areas. However, one thing that many people forget is that Florida’s geography and ecology are fascinating and unique.

The state’s peninsular shape and tropical climate make it the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of unique species, including the Florida panther. The best way to check out these cool areas is by going on an exhilarating sightseeing helicopter wildlife and beach tour!

Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay isn’t really a destination for nature enthusiasts, but the land formation within which Tampa lies is fascinating to view during an aerial tour. The bay extends deep into the spaces occupied on the mainland, forming a large area of water that’s connected to the land by highways and a traffic-friendly bridge.

Tampa Bay is also divided into multiple bays, namely Old Tampa Bay, Hillsborough Bay, McKay Bay, Middle Tampa Bay and Lower Tampa Bay. Look closely for the nature and wildlife reserves on the lower and middle Tampa Bay shores during your helicopter ride in Tampa!

Florida Everglades

The Florida Everglades are one of the biggest places of intrigue for wildlife and nature enthusiasts. The Everglades are a region of wetlands and swamps where water drains into the basin area.

When you visit on the ground, the area tends to look like endless marshy land with occasional prairie regions. However, when you take to the skies, you’ll realize how massive the Everglades are.

You can even get a good look at the number of lakes and rivers that run through the greenery. All in all, an aerial view of the Everglades is stunning!

Siesta Key

Siesta Key in Sarasota is one of the biggest islands on the Floridian East Coast. The Florida Keys are known as some of the best beach vacation destinations to visit, and these areas have been developed into resort and retreat regions with that in mind.

However, what’s really stunning about the Florida Keys and Siesta Key, specifically, is that these islands are replete with greenery and white sandy beaches. They look picture perfect from the sky, especially the way they branch out from the mainland.

Other Keys you may see are Bird Key in Sarasota and Anna Maria Island in the Tampa Bay Area.
