Air Boat rides

[Southsider]

Boggy Creek Aiboats are a good way to finish off your holiday on the way to the airport.

Michelles advice is sound.Early morning while it is a bit cooler.

We went at 2pm and came off somewhat rosy

We went to these last year and it was great. 2 of my girls loved it when they went fast.

We actually got there for about mid day and saw loads of gators, turtles, eagles etc.

My 14 year old daughter and 8 year old son thought Boggy Creek was better than anything else that we had been on!

We did see a lot of wildlife as it was February but we were told that in summer you are better to go at night for the wildlife as the alligators are all under water in the day to avoid the heat.

Wonderful time, try to get to the front of the boat.

When i was there in oct 2003 there was a little place to hire small air boats you drive your self ........ we saw 1 gator and loads of other wild life ..... just the driving of the boat was well worth it ........ and it was cheaper than boggy creek

The two are very different, the ones you ride yourself are extremely slow at around 3 or 4 miles an hour.
Boggy creek are 12 seaters with a big V8 strapped to the back, the wildlife veiwing and scenery is much better. Pilots are knowledgable and fun too.

We have been on both types of airboat. The Boggy Creek one is great if you want an exhilerating ride, although when we went last August we didn't get to see any gators only birds and a cow in the lake, also quite a few little green frogs who hitched a ride on the boat. The self drive airboats on the 192 are a lot slower, which is just as well as they are quite hard to steer and we spent quite a lot of time untangling ourselves from the trees. We did see a few turtles and a water snake though. I think both places should be on your to do list as they are quite different.
