There are no age/height requirements for our airboat rides. Children under 2 years of age may sit in your lap or ride beside you. Children under 6 years of age are required to wear a life vest and ear protection which we provide for you. Children under 6 are also required to wear eye protection (such as sunglasses, which can be purchased in the gift shop or brought from home). We also highly recommend eye protection for adults.
The alligators and wildlife are more active in the morning and evening hours during the summer months and mid-afternoon in the winter months.
Summer / Fall:
Dress light, wear sunblock, sunglasses and bring comfortable shoes.
Winter / Spring:
Wear layered clothing to ensure comfort.
Our Captains are experienced in and will do their best to seek out the locations in which alligators frequent. Lake Jesup is the most alligator populated lake in Florida. Each tour is unique and quite unpredictable. During the warmer months, the morning rides are better and during the colder months, the warmer hours are best for airboat tours.
Life vest and ear protection are provided to all of our passengers. Children under six years of age are required to wear life vests and ear protection we provide, and eye protection, such as sunglasses (can be purchased in the gift shop). Eye protection is also highly recommended for adults. Eye protection can be brought from home (glasses, sunglasses, goggles, etc) or purchased in our gift shop.
Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate your pet on the airboat tours or near the waters. For your safety, the safety of your pet, and the safety of others we do not allow pets down the peninsula or on our airboat tours. Service animals are permitted but we do advise against it, again, for safety.
