Traveler reviews
Dissatisfied
I selected a platoon sunset cruise and got Boggy Creek Airboat which I did not want. Also my ticket price was $44 pp and I ended up paying $159 (the math is way off). The boat ride was too noisy. Didn’t enjoy
Sunset with nature
Friday afternoon traffic “is tricky at best” from Orlando. We made it per the 1 hr arrival in advance request. Brandon and his father were great tour guides. Appreciated their efforts to stop fjr wild life and their personal history. An ideal sunset cruise and fun way to experience a airboat too! If they can make access to beverages prior to boarding an option - it would complete the “10” rating!
Very disappointing and unprofessional experience.
Very disappointing and unprofessional experience. We booked a 1-hour sunset airboat ride, but the second staff member who was supposed to be on the boat never showed up. We waited over 20 minutes while the employee present kept trying to call him, but it became clear he wasn’t coming. According to their policy, one operator can only take up to 6 people. After making everyone wait, the employee offered to take just 6 people, but it would not be the full 1-hour tour. Since it was already sunset, it would get dark within minutes, which also raised safety concerns because the boats do not have lights. This meant the tour would be shorter and potentially unsafe, and there was no clear indication that customers would receive a partial refund. What made it worse is that there was a family visiting from Australia who had already been canceled on once before. This was their second attempt, and it was likely going to be canceled again. They ended up taking the ride since they were a group of 6, but it was still unfair, they received a shorter and riskier experience. We are now waiting for a refund, but we wasted about 2 hours driving there, plus part of our vacation time (we are not even from Florida). When we arrived, there was no manager or anyone in charge,just one employee waiting and multiple customers left in uncertainty. Overall, extremely poor organization and lack of responsibility. I would not recommend this place.
Best last minute activity!
My husband and I had a few hours to spend and we reserved this experience. I am so glad that we did it. So peaceful. The beautiful sunset, the war breeze, the baby and adult gator, so many birds and the sky. Thank you!
Awesome!
Awesome airboat ride, left on time. Saw deer alligators and birds. Learned a lot, beautiful sunset. Would highly recommend
