Wild Florida Airboats & Gator Park

Orlando Airboat Rides

See the Wild Side of Florida!

Whether it’s your first or 50th, there’s something about riding on an airboat through the Florida Everglades that makes you want to shout, “Again!” These U.S. Coast Guard approved airboats can skim across the shoreline while you look for wildlife, or disappear into endless beautiful swamps, marshes, and rivers. These airboat tours are something you don’t want to miss.

Their experienced captains have a knack for being able to pick out alligators, eagles, and other wildlife that build their homes in the waterways near Wild Florida. Each time you head out onto the water, you’ll see and experience something different. For variety, you can choose from a half-hour, hour, private, or night-time adventure.

Safety is a top priority on all airboat rides. Wild Florida provide life jackets and ear protection for each guest on our voyages out into the Florida Everglades. We get asked a lot about bringing young children on our airboats. Children under 3 are free, and the steady vibrations and fresh air often put them right to sleep!

Hawk Swamp and Cypress Trees

The Hawk Swamp is a must see when you got to Wild Florida, a magical swamp ecosystem where you cannot believe the sort of wildlife that can survive living on water.

There is an interesting fact behind this, and that is that the special type of tree there (Cypress Tree) survive by using part of their trunk to project above the waterline (known as their “knees”) which allows them to funnel air into the rest of the tree, and so survive when they are submerged in water.
