The Airboat Ride at Boggy Creek with round-trip transportation offers a fun and easy way to explore Florida’s wild side without worrying about driving, parking, or directions. There are two options available for this experience: a 30-minute airboat ride or a 1-hour airboat ride, both with transportation included from Central Florida tourist areas. Your day begins with pickup from the Central Florida hotel and tourist areas such as Orlando, Kissimmee, Disney, Lake Buena Vista, or International Drive. With Gray Line Orlando handling the driving, you can sit back and relax as you leave the busy roads behind and head toward the natural wetlands. Departure times depend on the airboat park visited and the scheduled airboat time.
After a short drive from the Orlando and Disney area, you arrive at Boggy Creek, one of Central Florida’s top-rated airboat parks. Here, you board a U.S. Coast Guard-approved airboat with a trained captain and set off across protected swamps, marshes, rivers, and lakes that form part of the Central Florida Everglades and the Headwaters to the Everglades. As the boat skims across the water, you feel the wind in your hair and enjoy an exhilarating ride through real Florida wilderness. Along the way, you keep watch for wildlife such as wild alligators, birds, eagles, and the native trees and plants that fill these wetlands, offering an up-close look at natural and authentic Florida.
Depending on the option chosen, you spend either 30 minutes or 1 hour on the water. The longer eco tour travels across the 22,700 acres of Lake Toho, giving more time to explore the flora and fauna of the region. Both options are designed for guests of all ages and provide a memorable adventure in untouched Florida. After your airboat ride, you have time to explore Boggy Creek Park. You can walk around the park and view the exhibits on display. Guests can stroll through the Butterfly Garden, see gators at the alligator exhibit, and visit the Native American heritage exhibit. Some activities, such as butterfly food or Native American presentations, may have additional charges.
Once your visit to the park is complete, you return to your vehicle for the comfortable drive back to your pickup location. With insured boats, captains, vehicles, and drivers, and knowledgeable tour guides making the journey smooth and enjoyable, the entire trip is prepared to be a safe and unforgettable experience, taking you deep into the swamp regions yet keeping you within easy reach of the theme park areas.
