Tired of theme parks? Want to try something new and refreshing in Kissimmee? Don’t worry, because now you can trade bumpy roller coaster rides for the beautiful wilderness of Florida! The airboat tours in Kissimmee offer a ride across wetlands, where huge lily pads swim across the lakes, moss-draped trees reach the sky, and enormous alligators become stars of the show. So whether you are adrenaline junky ready for an epic adventure or a simple nature lover who wants to explore nature up close, these airboat tours in Kissimmee ensure an epic journey for all.

Where in the world can you see an alligator up close? Wild Florida, one of its kind in the world, offers visitors an epic airboat ride across lakes, rivers, marshes, and swamps of the Everglades Headwaters. If you're interested in a land safari, they also offer a drive through the wilderness of Gator Park. This Kissimmee gator tour also allows visitors to drive their safari vehicle, making the experience more authentic. After all the adventure, guests can spend time in the park and enjoy live BBQ, and a fried alligator (if you're brave enough). For further information, visitors can check out their official website.

Float across the well-preserved beauty of Lake Kissimmee with Kissimmee Swamp Tours. This company provides airboat service, which operates on 36,000 acres of a lake that is surrounded by only wilderness and clear sky. This tour allows guests to see animals like pigs, monkeys, deer, bald eagles, snail kites, and native Florida gators. Best part? This lake is located just by a large cattle farm, so be prepared to see lots of cows, chickens, horses, and sheep. The tour is given daily and takes one hour and ninety minutes to complete, which is enough to immerse oneself in the beauty of this Florida gem.

The Boggy Creek airboat ride is one of the most affordable options among all the operating airboat companies in Kissimmee. This ride is especially suitable for those nature lovers who love the breeze on their face while gliding across the water at up to 45 mph, overlooking vast grasslands, wilderness, and cypress swamps. We’ll recommend keeping an eye out for animals, including birds, deer, turtles, and alligators. Make sure to get the morning tour package for the best wildlife viewing, while afternoon tours are better in the cooler months. To ensure the safety of all the visitors, life jackets and hearing protection are provided before the tour starts. Please be aware that Mondays are not the operating day for Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures, and the ticket price ranges around $41 per individual.

Enjoy a small 6-passenger ride through Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Rides, where every seat is a front row. This tour company is ideal for people who need privacy or want a family adventure without big crowds. The airboat rides let visitors enjoy close-up animal sightings, where they can see the American alligator, wild clitters, and birds. They offer three tour lengths to choose from: one hour, 90 minutes, and two hours, so depending on the mood and love for nature, visitors can choose accordingly.

For a bit of a crazier experience on Lake Tohopekaliga, choose the one and only Wild Willy's Airboat Tours. Reason? They provide a long airboat ride through the 23,000-acre lake, which is a major part of the Everglades' Headwaters. Visitors get to see wild animals, which include alligators, turtles, native birds, cows, and deer. This tour is provided daily, including in the evening. After wrapping up the tour, make sure to greet Splash, Blue, Sergio, and Cricket, Wild Willy's beloved 4 pet alligators. Since they are very photogenic, you can do more than simply say hello; get a free photo shoot with them. Because what better way is there to end the crazy day!

Although the options for airboat tours in Kissimmee, FL, are quite limited, we still want to add another company, which is not very well known yet but still offers a decent airboat experience. March Landing Adventures provides an airboat tour that can accommodate only 6 people at a time. It takes visitors on a four-hour safari to explore a small island in Shingle Creek, which is home to diverse Florida wildlife. They operate from Monday to Saturday.
