We were told we would see gators.....our tour guide disappointed us. He stopped to show us a raccoon and a manatee but that was it. He really didn't talk to us at all! Very disappointed... Hope no one gets our tour guide....he was not Steve!

Our family enjoyed the airboat trip with Speedy's Tours, but when we were walking away in the parking lot one of the captain's driving in came flying by us in his large white truck. He was driving way too fast maybe he thought he was driving his airboat. Anyway, slow down there are children and adults out walking in your... More

WOW what fun! So worth the cost. family of 4 we had our own air boat and guide. Saw several manatees in the harbor area and then proceeded into glades. As expected there is plenty of noise involved but the boats don’t go all that fast. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly even stopped midway for pictures in the driver’s... More

Went on this tour and had an excellent time. Captain Aaron did super! What a great side trip if you are in the Naples area.

Went for an hour long adventure with hubby, kids 13 and 10, guided by Capt. Shannon. Didn't know what to expect but it was pretty fun! Looked for manatees (didn't see any) but got a great tour - stopped in a nice flat warm area to ask lots of questions which Capt. Shannon answered and was really knowledgeable about the... More

We had a bit of a last minute plan to catch an airboat ride. They were very accomodating for our group of 14! Fun captains, and friendly support staff. Beautiful scenery!

Five of us went on an airboat ride with Erin, a grandma 77 years young, myself and 3 teenagers. I had read many mixed reviews about airboat rides so I pretty much knew what to expect. As far as seeing any animals we did not see many but this really is not the purpose of going on an airboat ride.... More

Enjoyed the ride. Not many gators or other wildlife unfortunately. it was also a bit chilly. Cute raccoons came to the boat for fresh water to drink from the bottle.
