The ecosystems covered include swamps, marshes, and lakes, providing a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, from Bald Eagles and Pelicans to Ospreys and Owls. The airboats are powered by a robust 454 Chevy Engine, capable of reaching speeds up to 35 mph, and are propelled by a powerful fan that blasts air at speeds over 200 mph. These exhilarating tours skim across shallow waters, accessing areas beyond the reach of conventional boats. The design of these vessels allows for exploration of the swamp’s most secluded regions, inaccessible by land or water. This adventure is truly one of a kind.
