Good to know
What should I wear on an airboat ride?
Casual, comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. Bring sunglasses and sunscreen, and a light jacket in cooler months — it’s breezier out on the water.
What's the best time of day to see alligators?
Morning and late afternoon are prime basking hours. That said, our captains know where they hide, so sightings are common on every tour, all day long.
Are airboat tours safe for kids?
Yes. Our boats are Coast Guard inspected with stadium seating and secure railings, and every rider gets a headset. Kids 1 and under ride free; ages 2–12 get a discounted rate.
How long is the airboat tour?
A full hour on the St. Johns River, plus time at our dock afterward for the free Alligator Encounter and a visit with our animals.
Will I actually get to hold a baby alligator?
Yes — every tour ends with our free Alligator Encounter, where you can hold a baby gator and grab a photo. Included with every ride.
Do I need a reservation?
Reservations are recommended, especially weekends and holidays. Walk-ins are welcome when we have space, but booking ahead guarantees your spot.
Do airboat tours run in the rain?
Light rain usually isn’t a problem, but we don’t run in lightning or unsafe conditions. If we have to cancel, we’ll help you reschedule — just give us a call.
Where are you located?
28501 East Colonial Drive in Christmas, FL — about 30 minutes east of downtown Orlando on SR-50. Free parking, A/C gift shop, and clean restrooms on site.
