SEBRING, Fla. — “We’re going to do some real air boating, quite frankly we’re going to run over some stuff," said Jon Scott with Airboat Wildlife Adventures.

Scott runs Airboat Wildlife Adventures. His boat, his rules, which are simple — hang on and enjoy yourself.

“I’ll tell ya this is the greatest place in the world out on this airboat," explained Wendall White.

Through Arbuckle Creek gliding over anything in our path, right into Lake Istokpoga.

“Just being out here with nature, it’s beautiful. I get an adrenaline rush with the boat!" explained Betty Murphy.
