We had a great time with captain Josh! We saw a manatee, a few gators, lots and lots and lots of birds, some cows (not sea cows, the real deal, which we were not expecting!) and raccoons. I was a little worried about bringing the kids on some else's boat without even knowing him. Our kids are 4-7 years old... More

Capatin Joshua took me and my sisters and our 85 year old mother on a great ride around the St Johns river. The ride lasted a full 2hrs and covered about 23 miles. We saw several gators and found a school of manatees, although they did not surface. Joshua was very knowledgeable about the area and wild life and stopped... More

Captain Joshua was great. Very infomrative and tried really hard to locae some alligators for us. Being breeding season, this may have been the reason so few were around. But it was fun to ride the airboat. Couple wih us had previously been on a trip and they saw many gators.

Used my Groupon for an airboat ride last Sunday. It was a perfect, sunny Florida day. Saw gators, manatee, juvenile eagles, purple gallinules, and many other birds. Cows feeding along the shore. Capt Josh was awesome. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Josh, for the perfect day on the St. Johns. It was great seeing the REAL Florida with baby gators, eagles, blue herons and fifty other kind of birds. And we took your advice and went to Hollenbach's for lunch. Great day!! We'll recommend you to everyone we know. Sure beats the theme parks!

Got to see a nest of tiny gators and dozens of large gators swimming within feet of our airboat. Also spotted a manatee with its calf and a deer with a tiny doe. Add eagles and numerous water birds made for a great tour by a friendly and knowledgable tour guide, Captain Josh Rich
