Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Tours

Yes, it’s true; we’re the number one rated Florida airboat ride company on Trip Advisor!  I’m not bragging, honestly!  It’s awesome to think that our passengers loved their airboat ride so much they took the time to post on Trip Advisor - and we thank them! 

But yes, although we’re proud of our top reviews, but it does mean that our reservations fill up quickly!  Today is a perfect example… the phone hasn’t stopped ringing!  We try to accommodate as many “last minute” reservations as we can, but we do want you to know that if you want the best airboat ride in Florida, please make a reservation at least a few days in advance!  We don’t want to disappoint anyone!

We got a phone call from some passengers requesting a reservation for the first airboat ride of the day tomorrow morning… now that’s what we’re talking about!  If you’re making a reservation in advance, we’ll always recommend the best starting time – early in the morning – on the first airboat ride of the day.

Maybe they read our blog and know that we’ve often said that booking an early trip is the most optimum time to see wildlife, especially in the summertime.  It’s also cooler than later on, in the heat of the day, a much more pleasant tour experience.   Whether they read the blog or not, they’re in for a wonderful experience early tomorrow morning!

Here’s an email I received from another happy passenger:

This is the 7th time I’ve been to Florida and have done a few airboat rides. Found this one on trip advisor and gave them a call.

What a great trip. The hour tour we took shot by. Captain Harold is a top bloke, mixes up the wildlife with a bit of adventure and humour. My 2 teenage boys thought it was fantastic and would have gone again the next day given the chance.

The best thing though is that the boat is for 7 passengers max and he keeps you in your own group not mixing you up with strangers as some of the others do.

Next time we go we will see Captain Harold again and this time take a longer tour!
