Wild Florida Airboats, Kenansville

Travel distance/time from Florida Delight (35.6 miles: 59 minutes)

 We have now been to four different airboat tour operators in the Orlando area and in our opinion although every one of them has been a fantastic experience Wild Florida Airboats gives you the best value day out.
We choose to do the one hour air boat tour which cost $53 per adult (costs $44 for children up to the age of 13). The cost of the ticket also includes entry into the Gator Park which we spent a couple of hours walking round enjoying being able to get up close to the various animals and birds, many of which you can actually pet. The Gator Park is enjoyable for all ages. There is also feeding time of the gators which is a real sight to see them jumping up to grab some meat. The keepers also tell you something about the gators which is interesting to hear. There were many gators there in the park. On the actual airboat ride it is always a gamble as to how many gators and other wildlife you will see as they are in the wild but as with all tours we have been on we saw a number of gators here and also amazing birdlife. 
Any other airboat tour we have been on has just been the airboat and nothing else there to do so Wild Florida makes a much more complete day out and more worth the journey.

The cost has gone up in the past couple of years since we first went and is now $62 for adults and $49 for a child if doing the one hour tour. I would always recommend doing the hour and not a shorter time as it is so good and you will really not want it to end quickly. I took a group of friends this year (2024) and at the end one of my friends said she would rank it as one of the best things she has done ever!

The zoo is always really interesting and enjoyable too and included in the price of your airboat tour. There is a very nice shaded picnic area with lots of tables and seating and for the past two years we have taken a picnic lunch with us and eaten it there.
