Tired of conventional travel destinations? Well, you can have the adventure of a lifetime with an airboat ride and gator hunt at Black Hammock Adventures outside Orlando Florida. Our destination is a well known tourist attraction in Central Florida for air boat tours sightseeing and nightlife.

An airboat is an ideal vessel for getting around lakes and wet lands. The air boat is a very stable craft, and it’s completely safe to be on one when searching for gators. This type of boat is unique because it has the ability to move into narrow creeks and shallow wetlands. You will be required to put on some ear plugs as the craft can get a bit noisy. Black Hammock Adventures air boats can accommodate both large and small groups.

Fortunately, you will be under the care of a travel guide who is very experienced in the wild. Your Black Hammock tour guide is not your ordinary travel guide. He is a “crocodile hunter”, which means that he specializes in locating alligators and knows where they like to sun themselves. Leaving the Black Hammock Marina your airboat will travel at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour, exploring the lake and hunting alligators with your guide and your companions. They can reach over 13 feet in length and weighs over 800 pounds!

During the airboat ride, you may come across several alligators but never try and feed them. They have a bone crushing bite. Most of them look more like floating logs in the water, so you really need to be alert. The best time to take pictures of them is when they are sunning on the bank. But you have to be fast. They often dive in the water when people approach. Have your camera ready!
