Our tours are quite unique and differ in many ways from the large commercial party boats. With a maximum of 6 passengers on each airboat (we do have airboats that can carry more than 6 passengers, if needed), you are all assured personal attention from your guide. And, since our boats are smaller and highly maneuverable, you'll go deep into the otherwise inaccessible reaches of the swamp. You'll be touring a large tract (20,000 acres) of tidewater cypress swamp. It's a dynamic ecosystem supporting many types of aquatic and moist-soil vegetation, as well as a diverse wildlife population. And you'll witness some of the most beautiful scenery around as we take you through the swamp and into the bayous lined with moss-draped cypress and tupelo-gum trees. During your 2-hour tour you'll have opportunities to see alligators, snakes, turtles, egrets, herons and ibis, and we sometimes see hawks, owls and bald eagles. You may also see white-tailed deer, nutria, raccoons and other mammals, though they become mostly nocturnal in the heat of the summer months. As you can imagine, you get more than an "airboat ride"... we'll make numerous stops to point out areas of historical and ecological interest. Furthermore, we encourage you to stop us throughout the tour for photos, closer looks at plants, insects, and to ask questions. Our tours are truly interactive and we always encourage your participation. We'll even try to catch a snake, gator or nutria for you if we can! |
