Boggy Creek Airboat Rides


Welcome to Southport Park, home of the Boggy Creek Airboat Rides.

The trees are beautiful here with their Spanish Moss.

Looks like we need to go to the left.

Some Gators from Gatorland are on display in the courtyard.

There is also a Native American village

The gator skins are pretty neat to look at.

The main reason we are here is for the Airboats.

Looks like one is heading out.

Here is the one that we will get to board.

We got a really good driver.  He was very knowledgeable about the area and knew where to look for gators.

Heading out from the dock area.

It is crazy that the water is only 3-4 feet deep.

It gets a little windy when he opens it up.

The first of many gators we would see on our trip.

We actually a full boat.

This little gator was not happy that we bothered him

We are really enjoying our trip.

Yes.  Those are cows out in the water.  Apparently they don't care that there are a lot of gators out here.

Heading back into the docks.

If you get the chance, we highly recommend visiting Boggy Creek Airboat Rides.

Welcome to Boggy Creek Airboat Rides.

We had a little bit of time before our launch, so we interacted with a gator.

Gatorland has a mini exhibit set up here and they have several gators on display.

They also had a neat Native American Village display.

It's time to launch.

Finally getting to check another item off my "bucket list"

Let 'er rip, Tator Chip.

There's our driver.

We found a gator.  Look at the very center of the photo just "under" the tall grass.

There's another gator in the water - center of the photo.

Let's go explore some more.

Some neat looking Cyprus trees.

The sun is getting lower.

Some more cool looking trees.

Time to watch a beautiful sunset.

Wow.

We are having such a great time on our tour.

This guy was a great driver and guide.

Well it's going to get dark soon.  We probably should head back.

He really opened it up on the way back.  It was awesome.
We highly recommend this place.  Very classy outfit and lots of fun.
