On this tour you will experience the best of both worlds: a swamp tour and an airboat ride. You will travel at high speeds in the airboat then slow down and stop for pictures. Along the way, you will get a personal tour by your local Captain. These airboats have stadium seating so the person in front of you does not obstruct your view. Every seat is great for viewing the wildlife. Yes, gators will get close - real close! Alligators do hibernate in the colder months, but the experienced captains know where to look for them. On average, during the winter, you have better than a 50/50 chance of seeing a gator. In the warmer months, you will always see a gator. You may also see bald eagles, pelicans, osprey, or owls. Airboats reach speeds of up to 35 miles an hour, and are propelled by a huge fan that will blow air from the back of the boat in excess of 200 miles an hour. These tours are truly a blast! They ride in inches of water and go places where traditional boats cannot go.

I absolutely enjoyed my time on the tour. We saw a bunch of alligators and a few huge ones. My favorite part was getting to hold a baby alligator. Would definitely go again, make sure you bring a jacket and eyewear.

This was a fantastic experience. It exceeded my expectations and the expectation was already pretty high. Our captain/tour guide was Jason and he was extremely knowledgeable and interactive. šŸ˜€

Fun, and Educational!! Our guide was amazing! If you’re thinking about not doing this…think again. Worst mistake you can do is compare to the Everglades. If you’ve done the Everglades, and think they are all the same, then book this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
