If taking a ride in an off-road, open-air vehicle with big tires sounds like a great way to spend time on your next vacation, Peace River Charters in Arcadia has what you’re looking for! Our swamp buggies are elevated vehicles with powerful tractor tires that let guests view the terrain from a vantage point that is different from an airboat. 

Not Your Average Tour

Are you curious about how our swamp buggy tour differs from an airboat tour?

  • It’s a different type of experience.
    While a swamp buggy is a slower ride than our airboats, it offers the opportunity to really take in the beautiful surroundings of the Peace River at your own pace. 
  • There’s no terrain we can’t cross!
    Large tires allow the swamp buggy to travel over mud and marsh as well as dry land, providing a vantage point that an airboat cannot reach. 
  • Swamp buggies offer elevated seating.
    A swamp buggy sits 12 feet above the ground, meaning you’ll be able to view everything South Florida has to offer from a safe and comfortable distance. The extra elevation is great for helping our younger visitors feel safer while they experience raw Florida.

The Perfect Way to Learn

Peace River Charters believes that every outdoor adventure is an educational opportunity. That’s why we make it possible to have fun and learn at the same time. Our swamp buggy easily treks over rugged and wet terrain, making it an ideal way to spot wildlife such as alligators, turtles, birds, and plants. Like all of our tours, this personalized experience will teach you about the river, wildlife, history, plants, and the ecosystem. Our knowledgeable and experienced guides will make sure your trip is interesting and educational.

Rivers, swamps, and alligators, oh my! We offer a much different perspective than your average beach experience. Trade the familiar beach routine for an exhilarating adventure through unfiltered Florida terrain.
