If you are in Orlando and have a car, take this tour!! We flew in to Orlando on a Sunday morning, picked up our rental car from the airport, checked in to our hotel, drove down to Lake Wales, and hopped on board the air boat with Captain Darald. There were 4 of us on the boat with Darald. It... more

If you are going to Florida, you need to go on this tour. We had Captain Carl and you can tell that he truely loves the area that he actually grew up in. He was so knowlegable and we were so impressed with everything we learned from the trip. My son, who is 12, said it was the best thing... more

I went for my first airboat ride with friends on the 24th of April. It was a picture perfect day in Central Florida and the trip with Captain Darald was awsome!! It was a pleasure to see the "real" Florida up close and personal. We saw gators, birds, cows, and beautiful greenery and flowers. What beautiful sights! I hope to... more

Superb day out in the Florida lakes. Dee managed to sort out the tour despite Florida weather and us getting lost on the way, and we enjoyed a perfect day on a trip tailored exactly to what we asked for - a relaxed introduction to airboats followed by 'gators, turtles, birds of prey, flowers in abundance. Captain Darald provded knowledgable... more

We had a great time. All the boys, ages 4, 6, 9, and 11 loved the tour. They each got something different out of the tour too. We all agreed that the tour may become 1 of our yearly trips. Thanks Cap. Darald and Cap. Dee! The SJK's more

This is an airboat ride like no other. We were a group of 10 - 6 adults and 4 children - divided between two boats. The tour is estimated to last 90-105mins but Captain Carl was determined that the kids would see a BIG alligator and scoured the lake to deliver the goods. Our tour lasted 135mins and showed the... more

6 of us, aged 9 to 70 took our tour on April 8th and really enjoyed the trip. There was plenty to see, and it was clear that our captain loves his job! He was very knowledgable about the wildlife and the history of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and have already recommended it to everyone we know... more

This tour was fantastic - we took it in March 2009, and loved it. Capt. Darald was informative and funny too! We captured great pictures of the swamps including a large alligator hiding in the weeds. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the Florida traffic - see Florida wildlife like you never have before - get out and... more

Visiting for spring break and this was by far the best sightseeing we did. The ride was, in a word, awesome! Kids were excited by the speed and also loved to hear stories as we slowed along the way. He knew right were the alligators were and knew the area like the back of his hand. Very thrilling and informative.... more

I have been on half a dozen air boat tours and this is by far the tops. The Captains passion for the natural beauty is only 2nd to the respect he shows it. Other boat tours you feel like a tourist, with Captain Darald and Dee you feel like family. more
