Best airboat ride company? Quick straw poll...

Hi

I keep threatening to book an airboat ride - but never do!

This year will be different as its a special trip

So Im just running a quick poll to see which is the best one based on Dibbers experiences based on...
Price/value for money
Service
Location (easy to find)
Boat size (ie smaller the better meaning smaller parties)

Boggy creek have bigger boats than Spirit of the swamp (imho disadvantage).
They have the Native American Indian encampment and presentation which my boys absolutely loved (imho advantage).

Both found plenty of Alligators and both had really good commentaries. It’s a difficult one to call, and I have done each on 3 occasions.. but Boggy Creek just gets it if you have never been on one.. Spirit of the swamp if you have!

I can’t enter the poll!

I have done 3 spirit of the swamps and 3 Boggy creeks.

There is one that beats both by an absolute country mile..Buffalo Tigers airboat rides on the Tamiami Causeway. You will find pictures of just why (imho) in my trip report in my signature. It’s less than nothing like the ones around Orlando.

If you are flying in or out of Miami Int, then I cannot recommend it highly enough. It’s a proper, real, unsanitised Native American Indian led adventure. These guys have actually lived on that causeway from birth.
