No, unfortunately, there is no handicap accessibility.

If you are apprehensive about getting into an airboat comfortably, then we would not recommend the airboat tour.

Water is provided; however, if you prefer another beverage, please bring it. If you are on a 2-hour or longer tour, you may want to bring a snack. Note: If you wear a hat, wear it at your own risk; hats may fly away in the wind… never to be seen again.
