My wife, daughters and their loved ones had a great time at Boggy Creek. The staff are very courteous and kind. Chris did a great job flying us across the water lilies and was able to corral an young alligator. The lunch was spectacular and filling. What you would expect at a nice restaurant. The gem mining was so much fun. We bought a couple of more bucket of gems. My wife spent hours trying to match up the ones she found with the picture guide. I would recommend this activity to all ages.

We found out about this tour through the Orlando Sightseeing Pass, and chose it as one of the 3 activities we booked through that pass. I called to schedule our flight so I could tell them it was through the Sightseeing Pass, although I could see their availability on their web site before calling if I clicked on the "Book a Tour" button (I waited to book this until the day before to ensure we had a nice, clear day - no issue with last-minute availability). As expected, they did try to upsell us to their longer flights, but we were good with the short 8-minute flight since it was more just for our kids to have the experience of being in a helicopter more than the sight-seeing. The pilot gave us a running narrative of stuff to look at. We did get a little glimpse of the Epcot ball, a good look at Old Town/Fun Spot, and a field of cows. The helicopters were tiny - they could only fit 3 passengers, so we split into 2 flights (one adult and 1 kid in each flight). They did take care to only redeem 1 of the 3 activities on the our Groupon printout. Cool experience and friendly staff.

This airboat tour allows you to capture the stunning views of the Central Florida Everglades at sunset. As the sun descends from the heat of the day into the evening, It's like a shift change for wildlife, as cattle start looking for a place to stay for the night, huge flocks of birds fly to their nesting sites and creatures of the night begin moving out to enjoy the cooler weather. You will be captivated by the cascade of colors over the water as you watch the sun sink into the horizon.

Inclusions: 1-hour airboat tour at night (Times vary), Local Taxes

Exclusions: Gratuities, Hotel pickup and drop-off
