Don't forget to do it if you are next Orlando ! - Great expérience with Captain Steve ! Five adults from Belgium, saw some alligators, beautifull lilies, not easy to find the alligators with the airboat because it was already hot but the captain did his best! We also found three little ones around the boats at the deck. Relaxed under the trees, bought some souvenirs, and the burgers at the restaurant were sooo good ! We recommand it !!

Excellent trip! Definitely recommend! - Excellent trip! We have done this trip several times over 10 years and it is always good. Our guide was knowledgeable and although not the best time of day to see alligators we still saw several. Definitely worth the money and plan to return for a sunset one next time we’re in the area.

The best experience I’ve had in Florida - We took the 30 minute trip as a family with a 5 year old. We absolutely loved the experience with captain Steve who was really funny. 30 mins was plenty for our son but as adults we would have liked to do the hour tour. I would highly recommend taking the boat ride, it’s so much fun - honestly one of the best things I have done in a long time.

Awesome airboat adventure! - Even though the weather wasn’t ideal during our visit to Boggy Creek, my team members and I still had a fantastic experience! The airboat ride was fun and exciting, and we were able to spot some waterfowl that didn’t seem to mind the weather at all. What really stood out was the warm hospitality—both the owner and the staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making sure we had a great time despite the conditions. I’m definitely planning to come back again.

Boggy Creek Airboat Ride! - What an adventure! We were treated great from start to finish. The entire staff was very friendly and happily answered all of our questions. The airboat ride was a blast! We saw lots of wildlife in a beautiful setting and got up close to over a dozen alligators. Highly recommended!!! 😎🌴

Amazing!!! - This was by far one of the best things I have ever done. We saw gators in their nature home, bald eagles and abundance of wildlife. Steve our Tour guide was the best. He made the whole experience fun and educational! Bring cash to tip as we wanted to tip him but no cash on us and not given at the shop. Highly recommended! X

Do an evening/night airboat tour - don't go during the day - Starting off to say the tour itself was great. However, It would've been nice as first timers to have known it was unlikely to see any gators unless it's an evening or night ride. We only seen 2, 1 of which we seen after we got off of the air boat, the other we seen from a distance. Our tour guides were great. The airboat felt amazing especially with the warm weather. You will get a little wet through out. Which to us felt refreshing but also something we weren't expecting. So don't wear white. Lol Basically the gators aren't on the payroll. I thought there would be so many to see no matter what. So we were bummed. Basically we were just uneducated michiganers about gators. Which is not their fault. But educating others, in case you were like us.
