We rode with Capt. Joshua and loved the experience. Joshua is friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We saw Manatee, indidigenous birds, a bobcat!!, and lots of gators! Great guide, fun time! More

Capt. Josh was a wonderful host for me and my family. Since he grew up in the area, he is very knowlegable about the swamp and it's wildlife and has a passion to share that with others. It was good to get away from the crowds of Disney for a day and explore the everglades. We were able to see... More

Absolutely fabulous airboat ride enjoyed by all ages. Surely one of the highlights of our trip. Captain Joshua is one of the friendliest and knowledgeable tour guides you could ask for. Ask about the sunset tour- it's much cooler and superbly beautiful. Be sure to bring bug spray for the ride back. More

We had the pleasure to take the airboat charter with Capt. Joshua on July 30, 2011. Our experience was fabulous. We had a wonderful time and Capt. Joshua could not have been a better tour guide and leader. He took his time and explained everything. Our family would definately go back and do this again. We have awesome, awesome pictures!!!...

We found Captain Joshua here on Tripadvisor. We can only confirm all the comments that he received. What a great airboat ride! This is nothing like the standard rides (I have done one before) where they just take you by a few spots. Joshua is not a talker ("BS is cheap, gas is expensive" seems to be the slogan of... More

Capt Josh was very knowledgeable and professional. Great weather and beautiful scenery, Very courteous to other boaters and fisherman on the water by not deafening or drowning them in the prop wash. Would recomend to anyone interested in the experience of an airboat ride and seeing the real Florida waters backwaters. Next time Im taking a fishing pole! More

My wife and I just went on our first airboat / Gator ride..it was fantastic. We saw lots of gators and beautiful Florida wildlife. Captain Josh was a great tour guide too. We were on the St John's river, but it felt like we were in the Florida Everglades, or on the Congo River...What a great adventure......We will recommend this... More

As Florida residents we think alligators are no big deal....I was wrong! We were a party of five. Two adults and three boys 10,13,&14. The best hour and a half swamp experience you'll ever have. Captain Joshua was outstanding! Very knowledgeable and a total gentleman. The boat was clean and well maintained. We saw baby alligators, one eyed alligators and... More

This was an excellent tour and well worth the price. The captain, Josh, was extremely well-informed about the area and the wildlife. He knew where to find alligators and we were able to get many wonderful photographs. He was professional, knowledgable and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it to anyone interested. More
