Fall is finally here! Of course, on Lake Jesup, temperatures are still trending warm and toasty—but before you know it, cooler, crisper weather will arrive, helping provide for a truly one-of-a-kind adventure.

As you plan your autumnal airboat ride, take a look below to see some of our top tips for the fun ahead.

Save on your Orlando airboat ride

The thrills may be big, but the prices are not! As part of our fall special, you can buy three airboat ride tickets and get one free—so the whole family can get in on the cruising and sightseeing fun. Water levels are high thanks to recent rains, so you can count on your ride being as thrilling as ever.

Dress in layers

Once the weather cools down a bit, layers will be your best friend! As most seasoned Central Florida residents will know, days can start truly chilly before turning into delightfully crisp, blue-skied afternoons on the water—so you will want to choose pieces that can easily be added or removed depending on the changing conditions of the day, like a favorite flannel or cozy hoodie.

Slather on the sunscreen

Even when the temperatures dip down, the sun will be shining as brightly as ever! Be sure to put on plenty of sunscreen and bring along your favorite pair of polarized shades. These won’t just protect your eyes from the sun, but will reduce glare on the water so you can more easily see alligators, birds and other wildlife.

Enjoy the local environment

From lakefront sunflowers that bloom during fall, to our vivid canopy of palms, Spanish moss and other striking natural features, there is no shortage of ways to sightsee in our natural environment! Crisp fall weather and blue skies make the landscape as beautiful as ever, so be sure to take some time to slow down and enjoy the view.

Soak up gorgeous fall weather and a family-friendly meal

One great way to enjoy the view is from our beautiful waterfront dining space! The Black Hammock Restaurant serves up flavorful Florida favorites, seafood, sweets and so much more for the whole family. Plus, on weekends you can reserve a table and enjoy delicious deals and complimentary treats to pair with your meal! Just call us today to learn more.

With these tips and an adventurous spirit, you’re well on your way to enjoying some seriously thrilling fall airboat rides at The Black Hammock! Every ride is unique from the last, so be sure to return on fall weekends all season long to see what new, exciting events are going on.
