I have done quite a bit of traveling in my time and trust me, plenty of excursions! This was AWESOME!!! Seriously, sooo much fun! Captain Ken was amazing! Can't wait to go back in a few months and go back to Captain Doug's! Captain Ken will be our guide again even if we have to wait a long time! (So... more

The trip was great. We had a pelican sitting on our boat. at the beginning. Our guide (Jeremy) was great. We saw nearly 10 gators. He fed them fish, pulled them out of the water, scarred the heck out of us, but it was fun. He closed there mouths with his hands. It was an excellent show. The ride was... more

We saw two bird species and two raccoons-- more boats and people than wildlife. Staff was nice enough, but provided almost no information about the area's history, wildlife, etc. All we got was an airboat ride through some narrow channels through the mangroves--so no big deal if you've ever been on an airboat. The value of this trip was pretty... more

Captain Doug's advertisements are misleading. We saw NO ALLIGATORS, received no authentic Native American bracelet for the ladies (which my girlfriend was extremely disappointed about), and the guide made no attempt to search for alligators. The highlight of the trip was seeing raccoons, which we have at home in Massachusetts. I'd like to echo the sentiments of another user who... more

If you are anticipating skimming over the sawgrass marsh in an airboat with the wind in your face, this is NOT the tour for you. I did not even see any sawgrass (or any alligators for that matter). The airboat ride only consisted of traveling down a few small narrow canals into a few open water areas, and back. One... more

Having done a great many nature tours in Southwest Florida, perhaps my family and I are more critical than many tourists. Here is why I rate this trip as extremely unworthy of your time and money: Overpriced. At $37.50 plus tax for less than an hour. Uninformed guide: A nice man, but told us very little about the wildlife and... more

Great ride!!! Captain Ricky was awesome!!!! There is no alligator show after the tour (which is something that they mention on their website, but currently not offered due to post hurricane Wilma damage.. so they just need to take that off their website as it could be mis-leading.) Great overall and would recommend to others.. more

I decided to go here, mainly because of the reviews on this site. And I'm glad I did. We had Captain Marty, and we was very funny and also knew a lot of information about the area and alligators. We saw maybe 5 or 6 alligators, a few of them were right next to our boat. Also, Marty told us... more

We were recommended by friends to take a ride on the world famous Captain Doug's Airboat tours through the Everglades. I can see why! The facility had very nice landscaping and clean bathrooms which was a nice surprise. The staff were very friendly and we even got to take pictures holding a live baby alligator while we waited for our... more
