Fantastic Ride - Loved this airboat ride. David and Jeff were brilliant guides. Very funny and informative. Saw loads of alligators and wildlife up close. Very smooth and relaxing ride. 30 mins was plenty for us. Would definitely recommend. This was one of our definite must do things this holiday & it didn’t disappoint.

Short but sweet - Although only 30 minutes we got plenty of travel time and the captain managed to stop near to some alligator nests meaning we did get to see some Gators. We all had great fun and even without seeing the gators it would have been worth the time and money.

Boggy Airboat Ride - It was amazing, highly recommend. The staff was great and knowledgeable. She found 2 gators and explained information about alligators I had no idea of.

Something different and worthwhile - We had a great morning at Boggy Creek doing something out of the ordinary! Ours was just the 30 minute ride but, for someone who gets car sick just thinking about being a passenger in a car, that was just about right for me. We were at Boggy Creek for about 2 hours. The journey there from Lake Buena Vista/Bottom of I-Drive was 30-40 mins and cost around $30 in a Lyft, but I had a voucher which saved me $13 both ways.
The boat moves fast, making regular 90, 180 and 360 spins. We didn't see a huge amount of wildlife, a few small gators and a small bird of prey. But the experience wasn't dampened by this at all.
Expect to get smacked in the face, arms, chest by Robin sized Dragon Flies or Reeds.
It was definitely worth doing, and something that I think people probably miss out on when they plan their Orlando holiday.

Worth it! - Our captain was great. He found us one gator within 10 minutes. We were quite impressed as it was very hot out and we were told the gators like to hide in the heat. That was the only one we saw, due to the heat, but our captain tried very hard to find us another. I would come back again! Well worth the time and money.

Don't forget to do it if you are next Orlando ! - Great expérience with Captain Steve ! Five adults from Belgium, saw some alligators, beautifull lilies, not easy to find the alligators with the airboat because it was already hot but the captain did his best! We also found three little ones around the boats at the deck. Relaxed under the trees, bought some souvenirs, and the burgers at the restaurant were sooo good ! We recommand it !!

Excellent trip! Definitely recommend! - Excellent trip! We have done this trip several times over 10 years and it is always good. Our guide was knowledgeable and although not the best time of day to see alligators we still saw several. Definitely worth the money and plan to return for a sunset one next time we’re in the area.

Not what i expected - Really just an alligator tour. No information given on the location or wildlife. All birds were ignored (sometimes just disturbed unnecessarily by the boat as they attempted to twist and turn on the water to create a more “thrilling” experience.

Do an evening/night airboat tour - don't go during the day - Starting off to say the tour itself was great. However, It would've been nice as first timers to have known it was unlikely to see any gators unless it's an evening or night ride. We only seen 2, 1 of which we seen after we got off of the air boat, the other we seen from a distance.
Our tour guides were great. The airboat felt amazing especially with the warm weather.
You will get a little wet through out. Which to us felt refreshing but also something we weren't expecting. So don't wear white. Lol
Basically the gators aren't on the payroll.
I thought there would be so many to see no matter what. So we were bummed. Basically we were just uneducated michiganers about gators. Which is not their fault. But educating others, in case you were like us.
