Get close to nature in the beautiful Florida wetlands with the Half Hour Airboat Ride by Black Hammock Airboat, which will take guests on a high-speed, alligator-filled adventure across Lake Jessup. The incredible ecosystem here has earned Lake Jessup the distinction of having the largest population of alligators in the United States. In fact, more than 10,000 of these intriguing creatures call Lake Jessup home! In addition to seeing alligators in their natural habitats, you may also encounter the turtles, birds, and other critters that are native to the region - including bald eagles!
The airboat ride is an adventure itself, and you'll feel the cool wind on your face as you glide across the glassy water at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. The Black Hammock Airboat vessels are designed for touring comfort and safety. In addition to the airboat ride, you can also explore the live gator exhibit, grab a meal at the on-site restaurant, relax with a drink at the Lazy Gator Bar, or browse through the selections at the on-site gift shop.
