I totally agree with Marlene D's review- we were lucky to have Cptn Ken too and it was a fantastic boat trip. Packed with facts and alligators, we really got a great insight into the Everglades. a very memorable part of our holiday, thanks :)

Myself and five friends travelled down to Everglades City to enjoy an airboat ride for our girlfriend's 50th Birthday. Captain Ken was a fun and informative guide and he made the trip very exciting. Can't say enough about him! Even though the weather wasn't the greatest we have a super time and would definetly go again. Ask for Ken when... More

Captain Doug seems to now the animals by name. Within 1 hour he feeded pelikans, alligators and showed us very special small things in the Everglades. After that we tried the mst popular air boat not far from Miami. It wasjust boring. We really can recommend it to everyone. It is the best airboat tour... Elli, Daniel

today we attempted to outrun the tropical storm by going as far South as possible. We ended up at Captain Doug's Airboat Tours with Jeremy our tour guide. Jeremy warned us we would get rained on and he wasn't kidding. The airboat was really good and even came equipped with ponchos which we quickly put on. I had 4 children... More

Great trip at captain Doug's with our young boys. If you are bringing your little ones, make sure to request capt. Dwain. He makes it really fun for the kids!

Did this airboat ride at the end-of-may with my girlfriend and her parents. We all enjoyed the experience. Our captain was Patrick who took us around just fine. We saw some alligators, some racoons, plenty of birdlife but the best bit was boating through the cypress trees twisting left and right. I've done an airboat ride a few years before... More

The tour guide was smoking while he drove us through the Everglades. He only went fast three times and did three spins. This was probably because he did not want to waste his cigarette! There was no wildlife and the tour seemed like we did not go very far because of how slow he was going he did not have... More

It was a fun trip! The airboat pilot was good. He knew the Everglades and how to handle the boat. They take a maximum of 6 passengers.

Very enjoyable excursion, saw Racoons and alligaters. Although the trip was for one hour, think it should be a bit longer for the money paid. Was over all to quick. Our guide Patrick was very good and gave us a thrilling wet water ride in the air boat. Can certainly recommend.

Being from Florida I expected a fast boring ritualed ride, our captain Johny made it fun and explaind every thing about the trees,wild life,the tide. We saw dolphin, alligator,racoons,birds got on our boat. Captain Johny made the ride more than a ride. My children have not stoped talking about the nice hairy faced captain and all the animals we seen.... More

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad you and your children had a good time on your ride! We'll discuss what you said with our employees who handle the baby gators. Rudeness is unacceptable, and we appreciate your bringing it to our attention. Thanks again! More
