Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Tours

Do you have little ones that don’t quite meet the height requirements for most of the thrilling theme park rides?  Are the smaller kids ready to have a little bit of excitement themselves?  Well they can and they will on Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Rides! 

Are you a parent looking for a great experience that the whole family can enjoy and share, including those who aren’t quite tall enough to ride on some of Orlando’s theme park rides?  If so, you’ve found the perfect family vacation experience – an airboat ride in Florida’s beautiful and mysterious swamps!

Are you planning a Florida beach vacation?  After you’ve had your fill of enjoying the beach, why not take the family on a short road trip and take an airboat ride?  You’ll discover a completely different side Florida… the wild and beautiful swamp and the critters that make it their home!

We’re getting Trip Advisor Reviews so fast, I hardly have time to post them for you before another one is posted… and that’s a good thing!  So here’s a new Trip Advisor Review:

Three of us took this tour in the middle of October and thoroughly enjoyed it; it was one of our favourite parts of the trip. I have been on a few of these types of tours but enjoyed this one because unlike some others there is a very natural and ‘unstaged’ approach to which is really what we wanted.

We wanted to see the Alligators and other wildlife in their natural habitat and wanted to get a more personal approach than to be just part of a large tour group, and this tour gave us exactly that. The Airboat was in very good condition and headphones and microphones were provided so we could all communicate to each other.

Our pilot was Captain Harold who was very pleasant and amiable and very easy to get along with. He was very knowledgeable about all the life (animal, bird and plant) within the swamp and although we were not able to take all of the tour we expected due to the weather, he still endeavored to take us out for as long as possible to all the areas that were still accessible. We got to see several Alligators (including a female of some 9ft guarding her babies), Bald Eagles, Vultures, many wading and marsh birds, and different plant life too. All in all a great trip that I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about an Airboat tour in Florida.  Cayman Islands
