WHAT TO EXPECT & WHAT TO BRING 

RESERVATIONS AND TIME FRAMES

 I want to first thank you for checking out INSTAGATOR AIRBOAT RIDES as this is my most exciting venture! The St. Johns River has been my stomping grounds for my entire life and it thrills me to now be able to share part of the awesome beauty of this 1300 square mile wilderness. Every season is different out here ranging from migratory birds to deer, turkeys, wild hogs, snakes, turtles and of course the star of the show, ALLIGATORS! This 15+ mile run of the St. Johns between Brevard and Orange counties is a “no hunt zone” for gators and home to probably the highest concentration of big ones statewide… and that’s where I run!  The beauty of this terrain is stunning and VERY remote.

Well, we’re closing the door on summer but by golly that big ball in the sky apparently didn’t get the memo, as daytime highs are still holding around 90 degrees and probably will for the rest of September and even a bit of October!  A.M. tours are where it’s at with departures as early as 0715.  2-hour tours are now in full swing with higher water tables. This brings greater latitude to explore those harder to reach places with WAY more to see as you relax your way down the St John River. Also, check out some of the latest pics in photo gallery! Call for pricing and details.

Thank you!
