Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Tours

Its Canadian Spring Break this week.  We can’t catch our breath!  Canadians have arrived in Florida and it seems like every single family wants to take an airboat ride on Sprit of the Swamp!

I feel so bad when we can’t accommodate same day reservations.  I want to, I really want to.  But you have to know that there are limitations to how many hours are in the day.  And how much fuel the airboat will hold.

We sure are making some great Canadian memories this week… and again, I apologize if you called and we couldn’t schedule your airboat this ride this week.  But please call us when you’re planning your spring break in Florida next year!  Call us early.  Please?

There I feel so much better.  I hate to disappoint people, really I do.

I received this email and some great airboat ride photos and wanted to share them with you:

Well, back in the UK now, wishing we were still in Florida!!

Thank you for a fantastic afternoon, it was great to see the natural side of Orlando.

Have attached some photos that we hope you will like.

Will be back on our next visit for sure.

Many thanks again,

Brian, Steve, and Jacquie

Baby gator, so cute!

Beautiful cypress dome…

Can you lighten up a bit Captain Harold?  At least give us a smile?

Okay, that’s better!  And yes, we’re keepin it real here folks.  He is wearing a coat, and it was a bit NIPPY in February.  Just the honest truth here, as always.

I’ve been so fortunate lately to have received some awesome airboat ride photos!  These were taken by a professional photographer who was taking a trip with his Dad.

I really like this one.  And it was especially fun to shoot.  First of all it’s so nice to see us in shorts and think about the warm weather when this photo was taken last summer.  See how the trees and background is blurred?  We were doing donuts on the airboat and going for the action shot of how it looks while spinning.  Never seen anything like this (I know I say that a lot, but it’s true!)

Check out this shot of the gator, I really love how you can see the movement as he swims across the water:

We’re so fortunate that our passengers send us such great photography!  I’ll share more later this week…
