What to expect on an Airboat ride
At Airboat Rides Melbourne, our focus is designing a unique and memorable adventure and tour for you and your family, to showcase the natural beauty of the amazing wetlands of this part of Florida. We want to show you the stunning wildlife of the rivers and lakes, giving you and your children an unforgettable and exciting experience that is also educational and instills a real sense of awe and respect for the natural environment. We aim to show you amazing sights, from the biggest alligators (we always know where the alligators are) to huge flocks of migratory and waterbirds and running deer, to incredible sunrises and sunsets over the lake. You will always come away impressed by the splendor of nature, and with memories that will last a lifetime.
When to take an airboat ride
Airboat rides launch from the Lake Washington Boat Ramp and Park in Melbourne, Florida at the head waters of the beautiful Upper St. John's River. These are among the most beautiful and stunning wetland locations in Central Florida, with an incredibly diverse abundance of wildlife.
For a twist on the usual airboat ride, we also offer sunset and night tours. Florida sunsets are deservedly famous for their natural beauty and incredible colors, and with the wide open sky over the lake, the rolling cloud banks and stunning blazes of orange, red and purple seem to stretch forever. Night is the true time to experience the mystery of the swamplands. At night, deer can be seen swimming in the lakes and running along the shore. Searching for alligators with headlamps in the night is sure to be an unforgettable experience for children, as they see those big, watchful yellow eyes gliding along the water. For an evening or night trip, you'll need warmer clothing, bug spray, shoes that you don't mind getting wet or a little dirty, and a camera with flash.
