Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Tours operates on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes – which includes Lake Tohopekaliga, Lake Cypress and Lake Hatchineha. There are over 27,000 acres of wetlands supporting over 340 fish and wildlife species, including the endangered Florida Panther,

Whooping Crane, Bald Eagle, Wood Stork, Snail Kite, Florida Grasshopper Sparrow, and a long list ofthreatened, rare, and species of special concern.

See Florida Alligators
You’ll view alligators sunning on the banks and splashing in the water as the airboat glides toward them and bald eagles soaring overhead.

We offer what most airboat companies don’t – personal interactive tours with communication between passengers and the Captain while the boat is running. And also we customize every airboat trip to make sure our passengers have the experience of a lifetime on their Florida vacation trip into the swamp.
