Southern Airboat Charters and Tours runs small boat airboat tours through North Florida’s lakes and springs. Our Florida swamp tours focus on wildlife sightseeing and exploring waterways most visitors never find.
We take you through Lake Jackson and Lake Amonia and Wakulla Springs and St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge and the Big Bend wilderness. You will see gators sunning on the banks and turtles stacked on logs and wild pigs on the islands and dozens of bird species. Our guides know where the wildlife hangs out and can get you close without disturbing the animals.
Tours are priced by the hour starting at $60. You pick how long you want to be on the water. One hour gives you a great introduction. Two to three hours lets you cover more ground and see different habitats.
