Our trip there was a big disappointment. After asking our hotel staff where we should spend our "air boat day" they suggested Billies. We knew the drive was going to be long, so that is not a complaint. We saw more alligators in the waters driving to Billies than we did during the airboat ride. The actual airboat ride was... More

There is only one Billie Swamp Safari and one Everglades National Park. This is a no-brainer. many people that live in south florida have not even experienced whats in their backyard - so, if you are thinking about something off the beating path ( aka: beaches) then this is a Must Do Attraction. Lets set the record straight - no... More

We made a trip to Billie Swamp Safari last summer during our stay in Florida and it was amazing! It was a great way to experience the Everglades. We went on the airboat ride, which was a lot of fun, our guide was very informative and made a few stops to show us the animals hiding in the trees and... More

Looking for adventure? Check out the Florida Everglades. The ride getting to Billie's Swamp Safari was an adventure itself....my daughter and I were amazed at how many gators we were able to spot just along the roadside waters and the variety of birds along the way was amazing! You definitely don't see gators along any roads up here in Canada!!... More

On our recent holiday we went to Billie Swamp Safari.Although it was a fair distance out of the city it was well worth the trip, We chose the airboat excursion and it was very interesting. Driver was very informative and stopped whenever any one wanted to see anything special. Very informative about local flora and fauna. Took 30 minutes. There... More

This was a fabulous day outing about 1 1/2 hours drive from Cape Coral, FL. The all inclusive package is the way to go and you'll see some spectacular sights. At times, they make you feel like you're in the African desert. This Indian reservation has given us a place to go and hang out and have a really good... More

Bring a camera and get up close to the alligators and wild animals very cool, and great fun guides to take you around. On the Airboat Trail you will see alligators, turtles, fish, birds, raccoons, and the on land tour water buffalo, wild pigs, and ostriches up close while riding through the wetlands on a Swamp Buggy. You need about... More

One of the most fun things I've done in a long time - a ride on an Air Boat through the Florida swamps - it was just such a new experience. Saw alligators, water buffalo along the way. It was even fun getting sprayed! We took the east-west route across "Alligator Alley" from Fort Lauderdale - and saw plenty of... More
