 Boggy Creek
Airboat Rides is unlike any other attraction in Central Florida that revolves
around alligators. Most of the attractions in the area are man-made and the
gators are not acting naturally, however Boggy Creek Airboat Rides takes you
into the swamps of Central Florida where you can see how gators as well as
other animals behave in their natural habitat. This kind of attraction is very
rare in Central Florida and many other companies and individuals have been
trying to replicate it, however Boggy Creek Airboat Rides opened its seats on a
6 seat airboat in 1994 and has been the best name in airboat tours since then.
Not only is Boggy Creek Airboat Rides one of the most popular tour companies it
is also one of the safest as well. The captains of the boats have the required
licenses certified by the U.S. Coast Guard, their boats have been inspected by
the U.S. Coast Guard and the airboat captains follow all rules such as not
feeding the wild gators. Though the nature of tours might be intimidating to
some people, The captains in control of your airboat make it top priority that
you remain safe at all times of the tour.
Boggy Creek Airboat Rides offers three major kinds of tours: the Continuous
Half Hour Airboat Tour is the most popular one; during this tour you slowly
make your way down a canal where you will see alligators along with many other
animals such as Turtles, Birds, Fish, and more. After making your way to the
end of the canal you reach speeds up to 45 miles per hour while gliding across
the swamp. The second most popular tour is the One Hour Night Tour where
visitors strap on a mining helmet with a flashlight and take a look at the
gators at night. On the One Hour Night Tour you can expect to see a lot  more
alligators than the daytime since they are seeking their prey at this time.
Another tour which is the least popular of the three is the Private Airboat
Tour this is only recommended if you have a small group that you would like to
privately tour with. The private tours usually run from 45 minutes to a full
hour.
While returning to the dock you are able to purchase items at the gift shop or
enjoy a burger and fries at a nearby restaurant. If you are traveling in a
large group you have the option to order food from one of Boggy Creek Airboat
Ride’s partnered catering companies. If you don’t want to leave right away
after the tour you can also rent a pavilion or enjoy a group Gator Safari where
you enjoy a barbecue banquet, a one hour night tour, and live entertainment.
The Pavilion rental and the Gator Safari are only recommended if you are
traveling with a large group of around 60 or more people.
Whether you’re planning on spending the day observing Central Florida’s natural
wildlife with a small family or laying back and resting in a pavilion with a
large group of people Boggy Creek Airboat Rides has everything they need to
suit you and all of your needs while you are vacationing in Florida or planning
an event.
