Fun Experience - Airboat was a new fun experience. Saw a few big gators and a baby. We did not do the Native American experience and we should have. That looked fun too!

A delightful surprise! - This was a unexpected delightful surprise of a place to visit. We enjoyed the airboat ride but we also enjoyed the butterfly house and all the beautiful plants. The drivers were great, and we got to see a few gators. It is worth the trip for young and old. Peaceful!!!

A classic Florida experience - Such a fun experience! Our driver, David, was great and very funny. We saw lots of birds and alligators, including a few huge gators. Well worth the admission price. The entire Boggy Creek park area is great - clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend!

Amazing airboat ride - We were so surprised by how much there was to do during this airboat ride. Prior to the ride we walked through a butterfly house. The ride was amazing. The captain was sure to point out birds and gators throughout the ride. Would definitely recommend this for a half day outing.

Great place to visit for all ages - We had an amazing time. We are from Toronto. Enjoyed the tour. 30 minutes is enough for sure. We saw cows feeding in the marsh, bald eagles (2) and a few gators!
Andrew Silas was our airboat driver; he was nice and informative.
The butterfly garden and gator pond are cute.
We also felt satisfied and confident that we were supporting a local business. Please tip the air boat drivers.

Mhmm. Wouldn’t do again. - Was such a disappointment for the money we paid. We only did the 30 min tour. We did see one gator but… we drove about 10 minutes tops saw the gator. Guide turned off the boat and talked for 10 -15 about stuff then turned around and drove back. Why didn’t we go around more and see things. I guess saving gas money. No clue. But unfortunately it was great. Very disappointing.
