Native Floridian and USCG Captain Zac Varner and his knowledgeable guides offer safe, enjoyable, and family-friendly airboat and swamp buggy tours.
Experience the beauty of Florida’s natural environment; observe wildlife such as alligators, deer, wild boar, and turkey, while learning the history of the Peace River.
Each tour is personalized based on the group, from an exciting thrill ride, to slow and relaxing.
Tours last approximately 45-minutes.
Peace River Airboats can accommodate four or six passengers per boat.
Peace River Charters offer an airboat ride and canoe paddle combo eco tour. This guided half-day 8-mile excursion is a fun filled adventure that begins with an exciting airboat ride up the Peace River followed by a relaxing paddle down current.
Canoe rental is also offered for those who would prefer to explore the Peace River on their own.
Visit the country store, hold a baby alligator, and meet Dale, the largest gator in southwest Florida!
Peace River Charter’s experienced tour guides share their personal knowledge of the area while weaving and winding through the thick Florida hammocks. A swamp buggy is the ultimate off-road vehicle to experience Southwest Florida’s natural landscape because they are outfitted with oversized tires and an elevated platform offering riders a rare 12-foot vantage point. These off-road vehicles allow safe access to uneven terrain, thick mud, shallow water passages, and dense brush.
Swamp buggy trips are family-friendly, smooth, comfortable and quiet.
