Billie Swamp Safari Tour at Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation - 3 19 06
Billie Swamp Safari Tour at Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation is a great place to spend a day If you want to get away from it all, Billie Swamp Safari is a good start for a Day Trip.
From either Florida coast. drive across the Glades on I-75 and exit at mile marker 49 as 20 miles of 45 mph narrow two-lane road stretches out to your destination. Buzzards circle lazily, pastures on either side filled with cattle from the Seminole ranches and the slowed-down pace puts you back in the world instead of just buzzing past it.
Before you get to Billie Swamp Safari you pass through a couple of Seminole community areas
Right where you turn for the museum is the road leading to Billie Swamp Safari. A big gift shop greats you when you arrive and the grounds are full of chickee huts used for programs and shows.
There are gopher turtles and giant tortoises along with an alligator tank you can walk above. The Swamp Water Café offers native and American choices and in the same building is a small casino.
There is a critter show and alligator wrestling and two types of swamp tours — by airboat (earplugs included with admission) or swamp buggy for the overland experience. The airboats almost glide on air as the powerful motors send then sliding across shallow water and lily pads. The swamp buggy is part on dry land and part driving through shallow water. You are likely to see some wildlife on both tours and gators are almost guaranteed.
There are also some evening and even night events at Billie’s and most are family friendly.
If you can’t get enough, spend the night in one of the chickee huts along the swamp waterway.
Check their website for details at billieswamp.com.
At the end of the day you get to repeat the long drive out and rejoin the fray on the interstate or head north from the community on SR 833 to Clewiston where you can pick up US 27.
The Seminole Tribe owns and operates Billie Swamp Safari and the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki museum.

Position Report, Jan 8, 2016 – Air boats and alligators
On the news, we heard that the state of Florida was not going to issue any further air boat business licenses. They want to save the Everglades. So, if a father has a license, he has it for life, but his son can not get one. We may be seeing an end to this adventure.
So, with our son Brandon visiting us, we decided to take an air boat ride. What FUN!! And we got to get up close and personal with a gator, other than on our dinner plate.
