Airboat Swamp Tour

Posted on August 28th, 2009 by karyn

Looking for an exciting way to spend a day in the Orlando area? How about hopping onboard an airboat and speeding through the area’s swamps?

Boggy Creek Airboats offer three different tours of the swamps and Florida wetlands. You will get an up close look at the home of the alligator and beautiful water fowl. Located in Kissimmee, this is a great addition to your central Florida vacation.

You will start your ride at an idle through the canal; where you can search for exotic wildlife and birds. Keep an eye for turtles and the famed Florida gator and experience them in their natural habitat.

Then hold onto you sun hat because the airboat is going to pick up speed and you will fly like the wind while going up to 45 mph through the swampy areas. You will glide on the water while the swamp vegetation parts the way.

Boggy Creek offers three types of tours. You can arrive without reservations and head out for a 30 minute tour; these run continuously. Or how about a 45 minute private boat tour; you do not need reservations for this either and they can take up to 6 passengers. Looking for something completely different? Well, then reserve a one hour nighttime tour and see eyes glowing in the dark; this is a great opportunity to take a peek at the gators and other nighttime creatures.

If you get hungry then be sure to check out one of these options:

• Bring your own boxed lunch or caterer if you are traveling with a group
• Book ahead and have one of their boxed lunches that include a sandwich, chips, fruit, cookies, and a drink
• Or use one of their caterers if you are booking a large group

If you do want to bring a large group (12 or more), then be sure to call ahead of time so they can prepare and make your visit more pleasurable.

These licensed captains have been featured on several shows that have been seen on the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, BBC, and many morning television programs.

Try something different while on vacation in central Florida, catch a ride on an airboat adventure.
