Got there around 9:30 in the morning. We were the first boat out. My son and I had great time. The guide was great and very knowledgeable. This tour is on Indian Reservation land. More

Visited Buffalo's in April after reading several reviews on Trip Advisor! You will pass several other airboat companies along the way while driving to get to this place but, I would come here again in a minute! The tour is very educational and enjoyable, you never once feel like you’re in a tourist trap. Our guide was very friendly and... More

We really liked this trip. Other families with us had done other airboat tours and said this one was hands-down the best. The gators come right up to the side of the boat and the kids loved it. We also saw lots of birds and a few turtles. They didn't take reservations, but I called in the morning to make... More

We took our three kids and three adults. Cost us $90 for the whole group and we definitely felt we got our money's worth. We saw about six gators and we also got the infamou "Beastmaster" for our guide. He was quite the character. I would recommend this trip to everyone. More

Awesome from the get go. We live in Florida and decided to take another couple, family to see the swamp and the everglades. I looked around checked reviews and made phone calls, all signs were pointing to this Indian family business: The Buffalo's. Called on Thursday for reservations for Saturday...a nice professional soft woman voice came on and told us... More

We were in Florida for a few weeks in March 2012 , mainly to visit national and state parks. Our first step was the Flamingo campground in the Everglades national park and we were impress by the variety of birds ( Anhinga trail and Echo Lake + great tour with our ranger). We went after on Tamiami road to explore... More

This is not a tourist trap as most of the others along the road. We chose this place for this reason. The guide was laid back and I expect that you would have to wait until the airboat got back if you wanted to go. There was only one tour guide, but he was native Indian and explained things from...

We were there the second week of February. We found out that Buffalo himself was having a 90 something birthday soon and was not as active as he used to be.The guide we had was fantastic! Called in gators from the sawgrass and had wonderful stories. We sat out on a Canopy as he told us stories.He was REAL. Not... More

We were really excited about this tour, after reading reviews and getting recommendations elsewhere. WELL after locating it on a Friday morning (10AM ish), they were closed. No sign posted with their hours. So we backtracked and went to another airboat tour instead. The operator there said that Buffalo Tiger is open once in a blue moon, when he feels... More
