Excellent Experience - Highly Recommended It!

5.00Fun, Fun, and More Fun. Took an afternoon off from the big theme parks to try a different activity. About a 45 drive from our resort. We took the one-hour ride. Highly recommend it. The grandkids loved it. We saw a bunch of alligators (8-10) of different sizes and shapes. The guide knew just where to go. The ride itself was exhilarating as he cruised through the marsh and tall grasses. In addition to the ride, the kids loved the butterfly enclosure. They could have spent hours in there.

5.00Fantastic experience out on the airboats. We saw lots of baby gators and a few big ones too. One around 7ft and a huge one around 10ft! Just magnificent! We also saw a casual cow munching on the lily pads, horses and so many different birds including eagles and herons. Captain Brandon was such a great guy, very knowledgable and interesting. We had a fluttering good time in the butterfly house and saw some rescued gators in the pen. Lunch was super tasty and they cater for Gluten free which was such a nice touch! Panning for crystals and mini highland cows were also included and just wonderful. Highly recommend to all ages.
Well worth the effort

5.00Our one hour airboat excursion was totally awesome and well worth every penny spent. Captain Chris was knowledgeable, very pleasant and professional and gave us the ride of a lifetime!! I’m from Ohio, and wanted to see some alligators in their natural environment. Captain Chris came through with flying colors. I highly recommend this trip!!!

5.00Worth the trip! We saw a lot of wildlife. A lot of different birds, turtles and of course alligators. The guide was amazing and had a lot of knowledge of all the animals. The boat ride itself was fun, too. Fun for the entire family.

5.00This was our second visit to Boggy Creek..my wife and I visited last year and enjoyed it so much we decided to take our children along this year. They had an amazing time! They loved the airboat ride and we ended up seeing some pretty big gators. We did the hour trip this time as last year we only did 30 minutes and left wanting more.
Amazing Experience

5.00What a great morning! Tip……if the weather is good, get there early and sit and watch the boats go out, it really built the anticipation and we were not disappointed. Captain John and crew were fantastic and found a few different gators from a nest of baby ones (desperately wanted to see mum, but didn’t) to a 7ft male. Stopped to see other wildlife as well during the hour. Lots of information given about the animals and the surrounding place. Back onshore the gift shop was reasonably priced and we enjoyed playing in the game zone with my son. Thanks for an amazing experience to take back to the UK!
Great Family experience
