It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Well… actually it’s NOT!  It’s a record heat wave here in the Orlando/Kissimmee area.  High temps in the 90’s with not much relief in sight for the next several days… who turned on the heat?

 

But back to the holidays… yes, it’s nice to dream of cooler days and that beautiful Chamber of Commerce picture-perfect weather!  Which brings me to the holidays… we’ve already started to get calls and requests for airboat ride reservations for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.   It really is one of the absolute best times of year to ride on an airboat.

 

Are you planning a sunny Florida vacation over the holidays?  We definitely recommend making a reservation in advance – it’s one of our busiest times of the year!  Plan ahead a pick the perfect day and time for your exciting airboat ride while in Florida for the holidays!

 

So to get you thinking about the holidays, here’s a goofy picture of Captain Harold and me from last year.  (Don’t tell Captain Harold I posted this photo, he hated it, really hated the fake snow!)

Birthdays and More Birthdays! Make it Really Special with an Airboat Ride!

This must be the week for birthdays and airboat rides!  And to make it even better – we did an airboat ride last week for some passengers who were celebrating their grandson’s 17th birthday… and they recommend us to another family from the UK for another birthday trip.

 

That’s right the birthday boy recommend the airboat ride to the birthday girl, how fun!  We get a lot of birthday celebration airboat rides… and plenty of other special occasions too!  Anniversary’s, honeymoons, girl’s weekends, you name it. 

 

Got a special celebration coming up?  Make it really special with an airboat ride!

We Had a Fantastic Time! Just Like CSI Miami…

I didn’t realize we were reviewed on Yelp!  http://www.yelp.com/biz/spirit-of-the-swamp-st-cloud But, yes we have a review on Yelp, as well as Trip Advisor, of course…  (By the way, we do hear the comment about airboats on CSI Miami quite a bit)

 

Air boats are cool!   I first saw an airboat on a CSI episode, and told myself if I ever got to Florida, I would ride an airboat.  Well, I was there for a weekend wedding, and the day before the wedding, hubby and I headed over to St Cloud for my first ever air boat ride.

It was fantastic!  Air boats only need about six inches of water to move, so we were gliding over lily pads and other vegetation.   We saw snails, lots of birds, and even a little tiny alligator.

Spirit of the Swamp runs small boats that comfortably handle four passengers, and can carry up to six if you don’t mind being a bit cozy.  Most of the time, you’re in for a private tour, which is awesome, and you get to hang out a little longer in places you’re especially interested in.   Spirit if the Swamp also has headphones, so you can talk to each other during the ride.

Our guide was knowledgeable and very nice.   I highly recommend!   You can check out user reviews of this business on trip advisor.    Spirit is the Swamp is one of the most highly rated businesses for air boat rides in central Florida on trip advisor, so it’s kinda strange that nobody has yelped them yet.

Anyhow, if you’re in central Florida, give them a call.   We called at 11am on a Friday, and were able to get on a 2:30pm tour.   And it was a private tour, just me and my hubby.    We had a fantastic time.
