6 of us went out with Captain Wayne (one of the 2 captains at Captain Fred's), and it was a wonderful experience. It was educational, beautiful scenery, and a fun ride. The guide was very knowledgeable, and we saw lots of exotic animals up close. It certainly beats the Jungle Cruise at Disney World. more

Arriving at Capt. Fred's we had high expectations, having read the previous web reviews, but our airboat tour experience exceed them. When making reservations we were well informed by Bonnie on how to get to the location, what to wear, and what we could expect see on Lake Rosalie. On the tour we were amazed at the variety and abundance... more

We had a great day, as the Airboats only seat 6 people, you had a really personal tour of the lakes and swamps. Even had a chance to pilot the airboat, which was fantastic. They are very knowledgeable with the surroundings and you never get a dull minute with Captain Wayne - Thanks again for a great trip, we will... more

Although we went out in the early morning, we saw two gators, a handful of purple gallinule, and a few hawks. In the first area we got to, he took out a basket-like thing with crickets in it, and some of the purple birds jumped up onto the boat! The captain (Wayne) knew each of the birds by name (Short... more

With fantastic directions from captain waynes wife we found them very easily. Although we didn't see any gators we heard them in the distance grunting like a pig. Our photos were taken before we left by captains wife, when we arrived back she gave us the photos printed with a calendar for the next 12 months. This came at no... more

I planned a trip with Capt Fred for an out of town guest., along with Disney and some of the other attractions available in the area. Capt Wayne's knowledge is amazing. We saw all types of wildlife and went into back waters ( to which only an airboat can reach). The trip is the perfect mix of a wonderful educational... more
