Experience the Real Florida on an Airboat Ride

Feel the thrill as you skim across the St. Johns River, surrounded by the sights and sounds of Florida’s wild side. Our airboat rides in Melbourne, FL offer the perfect mix of excitement and natural beauty—high-speed fun with moments to slow down and take in the scenery.

Along the way, you might spot alligators sunbathing, turtles along the shoreline, or bald eagles soaring overhead. Our US Coast Guard-certified captains know all the best spots for wildlife and will share fun facts about the area’s history and ecosystem as you ride.

Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned adventurer, this is family-friendly fun you won’t find anywhere else—and memories you’ll treasure forever.

Wildlife You Might See

Alligator

Alligator mississippiensis

It’s not a Florida airboat ride without spotting one of these giants. Alligators are most often seen sunning themselves on the banks or gliding just beneath the surface with only their eyes and snout showing. If you’re lucky, you might even hear one let out a low bellow — their way of saying “this is my turf.” Despite their fierce looks, they’re surprisingly shy around humans (but best to keep your hands inside the boat).

Turtle

Pseudemys peninsularis

Keep your eyes on the logs! These freshwater turtles love to bask in the sun alongside their gator neighbors. They’re fast swimmers, but even faster at spotting a good sunny spot. You might see them dive into the water the moment they notice the boat — just a little splash and they’re gone. Florida’s wetlands are full of them, and no two shells look quite the same.

Great Blue Heron

Ardea herodias

Tall, graceful, and often mistaken for a statue, the Great Blue Heron is a wetlands regular. You’ll spot them wading slowly through shallow water, waiting for the perfect moment to spear a fish with that dagger-like beak. With their wide wingspan and prehistoric profile, they look like they belong in another era — and they kind of do.
