Formerly Super Gator Tours, Airboat Rides Inc. is the new airboat tour business, opened in 2010. The airboat rides were a hot spot in Orange for 17 years prior to Hurricane Rita, when the hurricane put them out of business. After five years of people still calling to request airboat tours, Stanley Floyd of American Airboats decided to try the tours again. Now that the airboat tour business is back in operation, it is able to provide families from Orange, Southeast Texas, and Southwest Louisiana an adventure close to home.
We have two 22 passenger airboats to accommodate your larger groups, such as church groups, field trips and senior outings. We also have a 6 passenger boat that we use for private tours and for night tours. Tourists also come from all over the country, even Canada, to experience the raw, untouched wildlife of the Blue Elbow Swamp and the Sabine River. Bring your cameras because there's lots to see! From March to November, tourists can expect to see lots of alligators and turtles, and birds. In June and July, the swamp is covered in lotus flowers, a breathtaking sight to see. Seasonally, there are lovely water hyacinths on the swamp. This is also great for bird watchers year round, as tourists regularly see the Great Blue Heron, the common egret, and osprey flying about. If you are lucky, you may even see a pleated woodpecker. |
