Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Tours

Christine and Leonard took an airboat ride with us yesterday… they drove over from the KOA in Titusville.  They’ve never been to Florida before and were looking for the real deal airboat experience.  Christy said that she was awed by the natural beauty, it felt like being in a movie!

But what surprised her most was how much FUN it was to ride in the airboat!  You get the best of everything on an airboat tour – beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, including Florida’s most famous resident, the Alligator, stunning birds of all types, PLUS lots and lots of fun while riding the airboat!

Many people ask us what types of wildlife they should expect to see on an airboat ride… here are just some of Florida’s birds you may see:  bald eagle, great white egret, snowy egret, cattle egret, blue heron, limpkin, ibis, glossy  ibis, wood stork, snail kite, hawks, red shoulder blackbird, gallinule, wild turkey, sandhill crane, roseate spoonbill, osprey, crested caracara, coot and mud hens, plover, gulls, pelicans, cormorant, owls, kingfisher, ducks, and anhinga.  Wow, that’s a lot of birds and I’m sure I missed some!

We also see alligators, turtles, deer, raccoon, armadillo, otters, bobcat, coyote, possums, wild hogs, swamp cattle, foxes, snakes and many more!

Like I said, if you love nature, this is the airboat ride for you!
