Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Tours

Jenine, Neal and Eleanor from the UK took an airboat ride with us yesterday.  They found us on a UK site about visiting Florida and used the recommendation from some of our previous passengers to choose Spirit of the Swamp!  Here’s the review:

We are in Florida at the moment and did http://www.spiritoftheswamp.com last week. Brilliant. We were on the boat for about 2 1/2 hours. Captain Harold took us up lots of small creeks and rivers. We saw gators from 1ft to 10ft long, eagles, turtles and lots of other birds.

We had done an airboat ride on a previous trip which was good but not as good as this trip.

They would stop/or turn around for any photos we wanted to take. You each have a set of headphones with a mic so you can talk to each other. They also took some group photos of us.

Private airboat rides are the way to take an airboat ride, at the same price or less than the large pontoon type boats that have 15-20 people riding at the same time.  You’re going to LOVE a PRIVATE airboat ride… need more convincing?  Here’s what our passengers had to say: 

“We liked the fact that we were the only group (family) on your boat and you really seemed to personalize it to meet the needs of our family.”

“The private tour was fantastic and we were highly entertained by your stories and banter. “

“It was also nice to be on a private boat and not have to deal with strangers.“

“Captain Harold and Debi are strictly a family airboat operation, which doesn’t try to cram a bunch of strangers into a bigger boat together to make a lot of money. “

“Your Air boat is at the top of the league and we enjoyed the smaller style boat than a bigger one with 18 other people we don’t know. “

“Our customized tour provided everything we were looking for and more, it was by far the best airboat tour we have had. “

“You go out of your way to personalize the trip.”

“Not only were all 6 of us able to ride together, but unlike the other rides I have been on, we were able to hold conversations with each other through the headsets. “

Nothing makes us happier than to hear the sound of happy children while riding our airboat.  Spirit of the Swamp is equipped with state-of-the-art headsets that have microphones so we can hear every word, every question, and every giggle and happy sound from the kids.

Some children arrive excited and full of questions, and some are more cautious.  But I guarantee every single one gets off the airboat excited and thrilled with their experience.  You’ll definitely want to make sure to allow some time in your Florida Vacation to take an airboat ride – kids of all ages will love it!

Here’s what the parents of kids have to say:

With six teenagers and four adults, you had a very diverse audience to entertain.  Amazingly, all of us will have wonderful memories of our time on the swamp.

And that airboat is really the best thing to do for a family in Florida.

Never thought that my daughter would talk more about the airboat ride than Mickey Mouse…

It was the highlight of our trip. You beat out Universal, Disney World and Kennedy Space Center for an 8 year old!
