Everglades Airboat Tour

75 comments
WELCOME TO EVERGLADES MANGROVE FOREST EXPEDITION

This impressive LEGO build captures the essence of an adventurous expedition through the Everglades, a vast network of wetlands in Florida known for its rich biodiversity. The scene features a dense mangrove backdrop with intricately crafted trees and foliage, mirroring the lush canopy of the Everglades. At the heart of the creation is a detailed airboat, a common sight in these wetlands, carrying minifigures who appear to be explorers.

Adding to the authenticity are various wildlife elements. Two colorful parrots perched on a tree branch and a menacing green crocodile in the water near the boat vividly depict the Everglades' fauna. Small frogs and a turtle are nestled among the foliage. Additional details such as a barrel on a small dock and various riverside plants and water lilies enrich the scene and create an impressive representation of the unique ecosystem of the Everglades.


The airboat features a robust design with a practical boarding mechanism, where the front section can be lowered to allow minifigures to board easily.


Three minifigures are included: a Boat Operator which wears a red cap and a patterned blue shirt giving him the appearance of an experienced navigator, a Explorer with cowboy hat, appearing ready for adventure and a Explorer with a camera, suggesting they are on the lookout for wildlife.

Why did I build it?

I have a passion for nature, wildlife, and adventure, which inspires me to recreate iconic locations like the Everglades. Building this not only captures the essence of exploration and the unique biodiversity of this habitat but also serves an educational purpose. It allows to learn about the region’s geography, flora, and fauna in a fun and engaging way.

Why do I believe this would make a great LEGO set?

This detailed LEGO build would make a fantastic set due to its rich depiction of the Everglades, featuring an airboat with explorer minifigures and diverse wildlife like parrots and a crocodile. The immersive mangrove backdrop and various realistic details invite imaginative play and educational value, appealing to builders of all ages.
