About
Swamp Tours are a MUST DO, and if you're lucky you can hold a baby alligator!
The thrill seeker and adrenalin junkies will want the SMALL AIRBOAT. It seats fewer people and goes faster and deeper into the swamps!
The LARGE AIRBOAT is also a thrill but seats a few more people. Because the Airboat is very loud, the Captain will stop occasionally and explain some things unique to our swamps, but when you are zooming, you do wear ear protection. The beauty of the swamp will amaze you while you fly by moss-covered Cypress trees and wildlife unique to our area.
PLEASE NOTE: Pregnant women or people with Heart Problems are not permitted on this boat.
The SWAMP BOAT is a flat bottom boat with a quiet engine, it is a covered boat and slower moving. Perfect for observation of our amazing wildlife! The Captain of this boat is able to speak the entire 2 hours on the water. You will learn a bit more about the swamp when you choose this option.
