A Great Experience on the Airboat – Next Time We’ll Go for Two Hours!

We had a wonderful trip with Lynn and Mike a few weeks ago… it was Mike’s birthday, and Lynn  made an attempt last year to take him on an airboat ride (with another company) for his birthday, but it didn’t work out.  I assured Lynn that we’d make this ride fun and special and worry free… that’s what we do best!  I received this email from Lynn today:

Dear Deb & Harold,

Thank you so much for the great birthday experience for Mike.  We both had a great time and look forward to our next ride.  Next time Mike would like to go for two hours!

Have a great summer,   Lynn & Mike Carr, Sarasota, FL

A lot of our passengers who take the one hour tour tell us after they trip that they wished they had taken a longer airboat ride.  Most of our repeat business is for the longer trips.  Maybe you’re thinking that 90 minutes or 2 hours seems too long?  The kids might get bored?  No way!  Believe me, the time flies when you’re having this much fun and I promise you’ll have the airboat experience of a lifetime!

Another Great Airboat Ride Review on Trip Advisor: “Fantastic!”

Had a wonderful morning out with Capt. Harold. Thought an hour may be too long with a 4 year old on board but the whole family had the best time and could have spent at least another hour! Saw 2 baby gators as we pulled off and then went on to see 2 big’uns!! Scenery beautiful, commentary insightful, all in all – fantastic!!!

So Much Better Than the “Other” Airboat Companies

We’re different.  Our passengers tell us everyday we’re better.  If they’ve had the short half hour commercial airboat ride previously, now they want the REAL DEAL.  They want a private boat that will cater to just their family.  They don’t want to wait in long lines.  They want a longer airboat tour.  And they definitely don’t want another tourist trap.  They want their airboat ride to on the best reviewed airboat company in Florida – Spirit of the Swamp!

“You’re so much better than the other airboat companies!”

 We’re told this on almost a daily basis – that Spirit of the Swamp is so much better than the “other” airboat companies they’ve taken a ride on… I’m sure  that if you’ve taken an airboat ride here in the Orlando or Kissimmee area before while on vacation, you know which company we’re talking about – the one that puts 20 people in one airboat and takes them for a short half hour ride.
