Airboat rides?

[Guest]

Hi All

I've been to Orlando a few times but fancy an airboat ride... any ideas which is best ? Thanks

We've only ever done it once so can't compare any of them.

We did the one at Boggy Creek and had great fun, but like I said I had nothing to compare it to.

I'm sure others will be along soon with more opinions

There are several operators who provide different services. Boggy Creek is popular. If you fancy a more personal experience check out the reviews on Trip advisor for Spirit of the Swamp or search the forums for Spirit of the Swamp or SotS. It is very highly regarded - a bit more expensive but definitely worth it in my view.


This is a fairly recent trippie from Siddex featuring Captain Harold of SotS

We have done spirit of the swamp ... Excellent adventure. Captain Harold takes one family at a time. (Think it seats about 6 maybe 7?) We can't recommend them highly enough. Last year we seen baby gators(lots of them) plus afew very large ones. When we went over by the grasslands we could see wild deer grazing next to horses and cattle. It was amazing! He gives a very informative talk about the life of the animals that live in and around the lakes. We fount him to be extremely passionate about the wildlife. When we go this time it will be our fourth tour with him... and we can't wait'

We did Spirit of The Swamp with Captain Harold this Easter - it was amazing and the highlight of the trip for my DS (15) and DD (12). Captain Harold's local knowledge was fantastic and it was great that it was just our family on the airboat. Great personal service, can't recommend them highly enough

We have only done Boggy Creek but realy enjoyed it.

Go early, the first boats out usually have a discount and you see more first thing in the morning too.

Wear sunglasses as bugs can go in your face and it makes it easier to cope with! I hate creepy crawlies but the whole experience was so good I didn't mind them!

We've done Boggy Creek before, but only in the day time. Everyone enjoyed it and it was a great change of pace. We're doing an evening trip this time, starting at 9pm.

Go another 1/2 hour or so To Midway Airboats on Hwy 50

Just beyond Christmas but before Titisville

Far better that other Airboat trips

Call into Fort Christmas at Christmas to see a full seize replica of a Fort.

...

Another good Airboat is at The Lone Cabbage on the Hwy 520 towards Merritt Island And CoCoa Beach
