FAQs

Q: What should I wear for the tour?

A: Dress for comfort and the weather! In warm weather, we recommend shorts, a T-shirt, sandals or flip-flops, sunglasses, and a hat. Don't forget sunscreen! When it's cooler, layer up with a jacket and bring gloves to stay warm during the ride.

Q: What happens if it rains?

A: A little rain won't stop the adventure! We operate in light rain conditions. Feel free to bring your own poncho, or you can purchase one at our departure site.

Q: Will mosquitoes be an issue?

A: Once the airboat gets moving, mosquitoes aren't a problem. The breeze from the ride keeps them away, so you can focus on spotting wildlife!

Q: What should I leave at home?

A: We recommend leaving valuable jewelry and expensive clothing behind. The wetlands environment can be unpredictable, and items dropped in the marsh are very difficult to recover.

Q: Is parking available?

A: Absolutely! We offer complimentary parking at the departure site for all guests.
