Things to Do in Kissimmee & Orlando

Take an Airboat Tour Through the Everglades

This is what most people come for, and it's the heart of everything we do. Climb aboard a U.S. Coast Guard–inspected airboat — they seat up to 17 passengers — and hold on as your captain glides you out across the open marsh at speeds up to 45 miles per hour, weaving between towering walls of saw grass. Then things go quiet, the boat slows, and the real show begins: the wildlife that actually lives out here.

You might spot alligators sunning on the bank, turtles, wild hogs, deer, even armadillos — and overhead, some of the richest birdlife in the state. Boggy Creek sits near one of the largest Bald Eagle populations in the world, and our marshes are home to Sandhill Cranes, Blue Herons, Ospreys, Snowy Egrets, Roseate Spoonbills, and Wood Storks. Nothing out here is staged or fenced. These are wild animals in their natural home, so every tour is different, and our captains — who know this water like their own backyard — never quite know what the next bend will reveal.

Want the full experience? Choose your time of day. A daytime tour is classic Florida wilderness in full color. A sunset tour glides you across the water as the sky lights up over the lake. And a night tour brings out the swamp's nocturnal hunters — you're all but guaranteed to come face to face with an American Alligator after dark.

Visiting during Halloween season? Boggy Creek also hosts The Terror 2 at Boggy Creek, an Orlando Halloween event featuring a nighttime airboat mission, haunted military transport, haunted trail, and additional after-dark experiences on select Saturdays.

Tours are safe and fun for all ages — there's no minimum age or height requirement. Little ones under two can ride on a parent's lap (life vests are provided and required for children under six).
