Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures 2025 & 2026

Gator-watching, wetland cruising and adventure are all things you can expect from Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures. Only a short drive from the Kissimmee area, this is the closest airboat excursion outlet to some of Florida's most famous theme parks. 

Feel the rush of the wind as you skim across 32 acres of the Everglades' headwaters, spotting wildlife in its natural habitat. Choose from half-hour, one-hour, or private airboat tours, and experience Florida's subtropical beauty by day, at sunset, or even at night when nocturnal gators are out and about.

Once you've encountered Florida's wildlife, step off the airboat and into the Butterfly Garden, where 17 species of butterflies dance among the flowers. Watch them feed, pollinate, and flutter gracefully, or even hand-feed them nectar for a small fee. While you're soaking up the serenity, keep an eye out for ducks, turtles, frogs, and the charming Bob White Quail within this lush oasis.

For little explorers (and treasure hunters of all ages), the Fossil & Gem Mine is the place to strike it rich. Pan through a 70-foot mining trough to uncover rare fossils and sparkling gems - and the best part is that you get to keep what you find!

After all that action, satisfy your appetite at Boggy Bottom BBQ Restaurant, where you can dig into gator bites, juicy burgers, and slow-smoked classics like Beef Brisket, BBQ Ribs, and Chicken Tenderloins in true Florida style - with a lakeside view.
