Swap the theme parks for real Florida wilderness on this 30-minute airboat ride through the headwaters of the Everglades. Glide across the swamp in a high-speed, USCG-certified airboat piloted by a licensed Master Captain. Keep your eyes peeled for alligators, otters, bald eagles, and Great Blue Herons in their natural habitat. Live on-board commentary brings the wetlands and their wildlife to life as you cruise through the bulrushes and remote backwaters. Just 16 miles from Walt Disney World, this top-rated airboat tour is the easiest way to add wild Florida to your Orlando vacation.
The moment the airboat fans spin up, the city fades away and the headwaters of the Everglades take over. Your licensed Master Captain skims across open water, then weaves into the bulrushes and remote corners of the swamp where the bigger wildlife hides.
Alligators are the stars here, and spotting one sunning along the bank never gets old. Otters, Great Blue Herons, Snail Kites and even American Bald Eagles make regular appearances, and your captain knows where to look.
With live on-board commentary, you will come away knowing more about this fragile ecosystem than you expected — and with photos no theme park can match.
