Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures operates from 2001 E Southport Road in Kissimmee, on the edge of East Lake Tohopekaliga, about 20 miles south of downtown Orlando. Airboats skim across lake shallows and marsh, giving passengers close views of alligators, ospreys, egrets and sawgrass flats. Daytime rides last about 30 minutes, with longer private and sunset trips available; evening trips include spotlighting alligators. The operator supplies ear protection and a safety briefing, and boats carry up to about 20 passengers. Prices are set by the operator and vary by trip, with children charged less; confirm them on the website. Reservations are recommended on weekends and holidays, as the shortest trips sell out. The airboat engine is very loud and the ride can be bumpy, so very young children and passengers with back problems should check with the operator. Alligators are wild animals and are viewed from the boat; no feeding or touching. The site has a gift shop and restrooms, and parking is free. Wear closed shoes, a hat and sunglasses and secure loose items.
