WHAT OUR GUEST HAVE TO SAY

"My family and I have been visiting 30A for over 20 years, and every trip we try to find one new adventure. That has typically resulted in a trip into Destin. On our last trip my son discovered 30A Airboat Adventures. We were excited about doing something new, but without having to leave the beautiful 30A area. We had SO much fun, and all agreed it was probably our favorite adventure to date. Thanks Captain Daniel for a great, one of a kind sunset adventure. This will be one adventure that we repeat!" - Derek

"A super adventure with Daniel at 30A Airboat Adventures! The 6 of us were looking for a break from the beach and found it in the bayou. Super tour guide in Daniel who made it fun and information for 7 to 70 year olds. Super clean boat, comfy seats, and classy guide. A must do!" -Steve

"We had so much fun. This was an amazing sunset trip. I took my girlfriend and her two daughters ages 8 and 12. Everyone loved it especially the girls. We all would highly recommend to everyone and will make this a new adventure on all of our trips to Florida. Thanks for such a wonderful time." -Kevin

"What a great family adventure! We had a wonderful time! Saw some wildlife and the scenery was incredible! Got up close and personal with a 3 foot alligator. We would recommend this ride to anyone looking for fun and adventure around 30A." -Traci

"We had such a great time and loved that this was a "smaller" boat so that it was just the family and not 30 other people we didn't know. Our captain kept us out longer just so we could find a gator! Great ride and lots of fun!"    -Kimberly

"Took my husband for a ride on his birthday; he loved it and so did I! The captain managed to make our trip both exhilarating and relaxing! We had a really great time and would love to do it again! Highly recommend!" -Christy

"Captain Daniel is super nice and very knowledgable about the area. We had a great time exploring a different side of 30A. This is a must-do adventure!! Can't wait to boat with Daniel again." -Stachia

"We loved our adventure! With 4 pre-teen girls on board, we all enjoyed seeing dolphins and alligators, not to mention nature's beauty of the area. A definite must see attraction! You won't be disappointed!"

"Had an amazing sunset trip today!!  This was my first time on an airboat. I had always thought they were slightly obnoxious, but after today Captain Daniel has changed my mind. We got to see parts of South Walton that we didn't know existed.  Can't wait to take another ride on our next trip down."

"We went today and had the BEST time!! Our captain was lots of fun and really went out of his way to look for wildlife for us. Would highly recommend and great for all ages!!" -Nichole

"My family of four had the best time on the sunset tour! It was fun and the scenery was beautiful. I highly recommend!" -Emily

"Great tour, nice guy, fun tour all around. A must do!!!" -Nick

“There is something about flying down narrow alleys of mangrove trees that is just a rush. I could never get tired of it. The guides always give more than just a ride. You learn so much about the Everglades and the total ecosystem that it is. We most certainly will be back!

—C. from Florida

“The mangrove tour was so much fun! We saw a family of dolphins swimming along the boat, several alligators, and a few fish jumping out of the water. Riding through the mangroves was beautiful and a fun way to see the Everglades. I would recommend to anyone.”

—J. from Massachusetts

“We really enjoyed seeing the alligators. The captain of the airboat gave a lot of information about the Everglades and habitat. The addition of the two-way headsets let us all communicate during the tour. This was really a highlight of having friends down visiting us new Florida residents. Plan to bring other guests."

—K. from Florida

“We did the combo package and it was amazing! Great way to experience all 3 ways to 'see' the Everglades! Would highly recommend. All the captains for each segment were fantastic! Had a great time!"

Swamp Buggy Eco Tour

Billie Swamp Safari's Award-Winning Swamp Buggy Eco-Tour

Experience our award-winning 55-minute Swamp Buggy Eco-Tour as you immerse yourself into Florida’s best natural attraction. Furthermore, visitors can learn about the fragile ecosystem of the Florida Everglades and the flora and fauna that surrounds you. Our guides will take you on a journey through time while you explore the lush wilderness of Seminole Country. Moreover, bounce and splash through the swamp as you view native and exotic wildlife up-close and in a free-roaming environment. For example, Swamp buggy riders will see an array of native and exotic animals. These include; deer, antelope and bison, many species of birds, rookeries, alligators and hogs. In fact, some lucky guests may get a glimpse of a Florida Panther or Black Bear.

Along the swamp buggy trail, guests can visit a  Florida Seminole Indian Camp. Here, you can learn about Seminole culture and history. In fact, you can even learn about a few plant uses that were vital to Seminole  survival hundreds of years ago. Many are still used today as holistic remedies.

What is a Swamp Buggy?

Swamp Buggies are open, custom motorized vehicles with a canopy top. They also have powerful tractor tires to move effortlessly through the swamp, while acting as shock-absorption to riders. Thus, the expression “bounce” around on a swamp buggy. More specifically, swamp buggies are designed to provide visitors with an elevated view of the Florida Everglades. In this environment, swamp buggy vehicles stomp through the wetlands, cypress heads and hardwood hammocks. A swamp buggy travels over dry land and muddy marshes, giving you a great view to see plants and animals that an airboat can’t reach. In contrast, on this open ride, you are the one in a “cage,” not the animals.

The Everglades Swamp Buggy is an Off-Road Adventure

Our Florida Everglades swamp buggies can cross virtually any type of terrain. As such, they give new meaning to the phrase “off-road”. Whether it’s thick marsh, uneven ground, thatch brush or low water passages, you’ll see and experience it all. At the same time, our swamp buggies are built for your comfort and safety. Moreover, our nature tour will provide an intimate look at Everglades plant and wildlife. Most importantly, it will be the best Florida Everglades vacation you can cherish for a lifetime.

Small, 6 passenger boat Yep, this is the number one reason… most people, (when they realize they have a choice) just don’t want to be on a large air boat with 20 other people. They tell us “What if we get stuck in the middle of the boat? We won’t be able to see anything!”

High Tech Headsets Our headsets with microphones allow you to talk to us the entire time – so ask us questions and help spot wildlife — you’ll absolutely love this feature that no other airboat ride company offers.

Longer trip times Many, many passengers want the “real deal” experience, to go where only the locals go… and our longer 90 minute and 2 hour airboat rides are the only ones out there!

Private airboat rides Our passengers LOVE having the boat all to themselves, and at the same price (or less!) than non-private airboat rides.

Each of our airboat adventures is different and nothing is staged. With Spirit of the Swamp, you get the true Florida experience complete with amazing wildlife, and stunning scenery!

There’s never any charge for a weather related cancellation, we issue an immediate refund in full.  If you’d like to rebook, we’ll do our best to reschedule you to a different day. We recommend you book early in your vacation or holiday so that you’ll have time to reschedule – just in case Mother Nature has other plans.

In the spring and summer you should dress like you would for any other outdoor activity, sunglasses are always a great idea!  In late fall and winter, dressing in layers works best as it always feel cooler when you’re moving across the water…
