For your comfort and safety, we recommend wearing casual, comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Since airboats can get a little wet, it's best to dress in clothes that you don't mind getting a bit dirty. We also suggest wearing sunglasses and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Depending on the weather, you may want to bring a light jacket or a hat to stay comfortable.
Our airboat rides typically last between 1 hour and 2 hours, depending on the tour package you choose. During the ride, you’ll be taken through scenic swamps, bayous, and marshlands where you'll encounter local wildlife, including alligators, birds, and fish. Our experienced captains will also share interesting facts about the area’s ecosystem, history, and culture, making this an educational and exciting experience.
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. Our airboats are well-maintained and equipped with the latest safety features. Our experienced captains are fully trained and knowledgeable in handling the airboats and navigating the swamps. We also provide life jackets for all guests, and we follow strict safety guidelines to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.
While we welcome walk-ins, we highly recommend making a reservation in advance to guarantee your spot, especially during busy seasons or weekends. You can easily book your tour online or by calling us directly. We want to make sure you have the best experience possible, and reservations help us accommodate everyone efficiently.
Yes, definitely! We encourage you to bring your camera, phone, or GoPro to capture the incredible wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
