1. 4.5 Wild Bill's Airboat Tours (393 reviews)
   - Wild Bill's Airboat Ride
   Boat Tours
   
   
   This was my third time on Wild Bill's Airboat Ride, but the first time for my girlfriend visiting from State College, PA. She was very apprehensive about riding on an airboat. She was afraid an alligator would jump in the airboat; the airboat would flip, or she would fall in the water. She admitted she watched too many TV shows about airboats. Captain Steve was wonderful. He handled all the passengers with respect and alleviated my friend's fear of being on an airboat. One of the favorite parts of the ride was Captain Steve guiding the airboat sideways while moving the airboat forward at the same time. Captain Steve was knowledgeable about the wildlife, the surrounding area and the river. This is a must-do experience when visiting Inverness. See more..

    We found this park by accident after walking through Inverness. There was plenty of places to sit and enjoy our picnic. People were so friendly and kept stopping for a chat. They could not understand why English people were there, as Inverness is not a tourist area. The water was very clear and we saw many turtles and fish. The boardwalk was very well maintained and obviously a pleasant place for the locals. See more..

    The trailhead is pretty much a parking area and a kiosk with maps. Nothing else needed once you are hiking on these beautiful trails. My bff Buc and I decided to hike the "A Loop" because it's a trail on the Florida Trailwalker list. Mapped as 6.70 miles but felt longer with all the hills (Yes! I said hills). 50,000 acres here with miles of hiking trails, including the Florida National Scenic Trail. Holder Mine has a campground and hunt camp also. Excellent hiking trails and located just 2 miles from SR-44 in Inverness. Hiking is FREE! Highly recommended! Bring drinking water and your camera. Tons of photo ops! See more..

    Helen's Consignment Boutique at 105 West Main Street in downtown Inverness, FL. Owner Ann Modine and her helpful staff made shopping a pleasure. Several dressing rooms in the back. Also a three-way mirror. Small consignment shop with a high standard of what items they accept. Every item I looked at or tried on looked almost brand new! I was immediately drawn to the sale rack, where you could buy 3 items for $5.00. Several in our group could only find 1 or 2 items, so they combined their items for the discount! They also carry bridal gowns (very gently used) While we were there there was a little girl trying on a flower girl dress. Store hours Mon -Fri 9 AM - 6 PM Saturday 9 AM - 3 PM. See more..
