Making Memories - I brought my teen grandson. We enjoyed the air boat. The Captain and mate were very knowledgeable and had good senses of humor. The gem and fossil mining were particularly fun. It kept us engaged looking for and matching finds to the key card. We also, had pulled pork sandwiches that were stuffed full of meat with choices of sides. I was particularly fond of the mango-habanero sauce. We enjoyed our day. I would recommend taking cash to tip everyone. It is the only thing that I didn’t see on the website. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.

AMAZING - The airboat ride was amazing. My first one ever. I wish I would have booked the hour long ride instead of the 30 min. However we had 3 kids under the age of 9 and that 30 minutes was perfect!! The captain, she was amazing!

Fab experience would definitely do again - We had Andy Silas take our tour. He was fab! We even saw a bald golden eagle on the tour. Food was excellent and there were lots of great photo opportunities. It was my 9 year olds birthday and he got to feed the baby alligators. Highly recommend

Amazing experience! - We loved our time at boggy creek! Thank you to captain Steve for the airboat ride, the scenery was so beautiful. We saw 2 gators, which was great considering it was 1pm and it was very hot. We’d love to go back and do the nighttime tour to see some of the bigger ones! We had lunch, it was delicious and the kids did the mining and the butterfly feeding. We also fed some baby gators and took part in Native American archery it was very difficult but fun. I’d definitely recommend visiting boggy creek to see a different side to Florida than the theme parks and would love to visit again.

A First timers MUST - Great experience for first timers on a airboat. For the price of the ticket everything included was sufficient. The food was great, the tour was nice although the gators were being shy. Our guide was awesome and overall we had a good time.

A nice morning outdoors - Cute little place. Airboat ride was a lot of fun. The gem mining took a little while due to there not being an employee at the stand, but I’d go back with my family next time.

Boggy Creek - Airboat & Gem Mining - Not value for money, Air boat was fine although we never really saw anything. Tiki bar was closed there were no staff around to ask about the gem mining, we had to go back to the shop to ask, we were given pre filled buckets. Nothing else to do onsite ! Sadly would not recommend this.
