Follow in 007's footsteps on a Florida hovercraft tour

Follow in 007's footsteps on a Florida hovercraft tour
10 May 2012

James Bond fans visiting Florida this year can celebrate the 50th anniversary of 007's first film appearance by taking to the water in a hovercraft, much like Pierce Brosnan in one of the many action-packed sequences in Die Another Day.

Hover Tour has launched an activity allowing guests to travel at high speeds on a Lady Hawke craft.

The trip begins from a bayside beach next to the Caribbean Club, which was used as one of the locations in the Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall movie Key Largo, and takes passengers around Blackwater Sound and Lake Surprise.

While cruising at speeds of up to 37mph, nature lovers can look out for wildlife including exotic birds, manatees, alligators and porpoises, as well as mangrove forests and other striking sights.

The range of tours available includes 15-minute 'curiosity' trips and two-hour experiences featuring beach picnics, water volleyball and snorkelling, among other activities.
