Venture south from Orlando and Kissimmee to the southern end of Lake Tohopekaliga and you’ll stumble across Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures, a local airboat tour operator found in the 32-acre Southport Park. At Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures, you can experience a thrilling wildlife adventure through the Everglades on one of several airboat tours.

Whether you visit the attraction by day, sunset, or at night, your guide will speed you through the tall grass of the Central Florida wetlands on a 17-passenger airboat to see exotic animals in their natural habitat. You are likely to spot creatures dwelling in the swamp such as turtles, rare birds, and of course, alligators!

If you want to take things further, you can go mining for gems, shells, and rare fossils at the 70-foot Gem Mine or visit a replica of a typical Native American Village. Or if you prefer to satisfy your taste buds, you can check out the on-site BBQ restaurant.

Open to all ages seven days a week, Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures makes a fantastic option for you and your family to get away from the busy city and be immersed in the great outdoors.
