Our outting with Boggy Creek Airboats was the first time that either of us had been on an airboat - what an incredible thrill it was!!!
You get to see true native Florida on an airboat tour like this -- we spotted several gators, numerous egrets, herons, and other native animals. Although airboats are quite loud (they give you ear protection when you ride), it was still one of the most enjoyable outdoor adventures we have ever had!
My husband is confined to a wheelchair, so we were understandably concerned whether he would be able to ride or not. But we had been given free passes for an airboat tour, so we went out to Boggy Creek's location, just to see if it was possible for him to ride. The guys that were handling the airboats that day were amazing - they went out of their way to help us out, and made sure that my husband got on the boat safely and securely, and that he was able to enjoy himself just like anyone else. We cannot praise these guys enough for the extra efforts they took on my husband's behalf! It was an exciting adventure for him, that he would have missed out on, if these men hadn't gone through some excessive efforts to help him out!
