An airboat is a flat-bottomed watercraft propelled by a propeller and powered by an engine. The flat bottom allows the airboat to move on land and shallow water so they are perfect for river rides. Airboats can go up to 65 miles per hour but we only go as fast as passengers prefer. Most airboat tours take a slower pace to ensure all passengers feel comfortable and can take in the sights.

Absolutely! Tours are extremely safe and loved by people of all ages. Rides are smooth and the water is shallow. Children aged 13 and younger are provided a life vest and required to wear it throughout the tour to abide by state boating laws.

The Tours page of our website provides information about our different tours but we can also customize the tour to fit your needs. Just submit a request on the Contact page or email/call us to discuss. Although every tour is different based on the ever-changing river and wildlife, you are guaranteed to have a great time boating down the river, taking in the sights, seeing wildlife, and maybe even stopping on a sandbar. Check out the Experience page on our website for photos, testimonials, and more!

Reservations are required to ensure we can accommodate your group. You can submit your request on the Tours page of our website or by clicking HERE. You can also submit your reservation request by emailing us at info@woodysairboattours.com or calling us at 402.704.6220.

We want you to be as comfortable as possible! We recommend you wear comfortable clothing and protective eyewear (sunglasses are fine). You can also bring cameras to capture the sights, binoculars to zoom in on wildlife, and a frisbee to enjoy the water. Don’t forget to pack a cooler filled with snacks and drinks to stay refreshed! You may also benefit from packing sunscreen or bug spray on hotter days and warmer clothing on colder days.

Woody’s provides free parking and bathroom access as well as hearing protection for all passengers, life vests for children aged 13 and younger, and an incredible time for all! We also have a variety of merchandise available for purchase so you can take the tour with you. Visit the Merch page of our website for more information.

Woody’s is located directly on the Platte River at 2865 Big Island Road in Fremont, NE. Visit the Contact page on our website for a map of the location and a link to directions.

Maybe! We would need to make sure that there is an adequate airboat access point. There may be an additional expense to accommodate this request. Please submit a request or call/email to discuss your tour needs.

We ask that all passengers arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled departure time to ensure they have enough time to sign waivers and load onto the boat before the tour starts.

Woody’s Airboat Tours can operate in nearly all weather conditions. In the event of severe weather conditions, we will postpone for a later time on the day of booking or reschedule for another date in the future. Any postponement or rescheduling will be discussed in advance.

We ask that you submit any cancellation requests within 72 hours to ensure the time is re-opened for another booking.
