In all our visits to Florida we have never managed to do an airboat ride, so this time we decided to give it a try. Following recommendations by other travellers we opted for Spirit of the Swamp. It might not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for!!!! We booked and paid in advance from the UK which... More

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and decided to try SotS after reading some really positive reviews. We were not disappointed - we saw a couple of large gators and many babies. As our Captain (Harold) pointed out, this is not Disneyland, there are no staged animals, nothing is 'placed' or planted as a deliberate attraction. The lake... More

This Airboat trip is well worth doing. A nice change from the madness of Disney/universal. Very factual for adults and kids. Our 10&7 year olds said it was there favourite so far!!! :-)) Captain Andy was brilliant!!!

We went as a family of four on a private hour long airboat tour today with Spirit of the Swamp, with Harold as our captain. It was great to get away from the crowds of the parks and see the natural side of Orlando. Captain Harold expertly steered the boat to places where sightings of aligators have been previously seen...

We went on a one hour tour in May 2013 with Captain Harold. With the smaller boat (5 Passenger max) we were closer to the water and able to ask the captain to slow down or stop and even to circle back for better photo and viewing ops. We saw gators of all sizes, snakes, turtles and all kinds of... More

We had booked the 1 hour tour prior to travelling to Florida. After a number of other recommended airboat companies, we decided to book with Spirit of the Swamp because of the fabulous reviews, rating and correspondence with Debi, prior to booking. The tour was a highlight of our vacation and a great end to our trip! We had beautiful... More

We booked this trip in advance of our holiday after a recommendation from a friend, and we are so glad we did. Faultess directions led us to our launch point where we met up with captain Andy who took us through some pre-launch safety points and showed us the operation of the headsets so that we could hear each other...
