I brought my daughter for her first airboat excursion with Captain John. He did not disappoint me. I have been before and the trip was as exciting as before. What impresses me about John is that he is so knowledgeable about his environment no matter what is asked of him from birds to plants to animals! It was great to... More

Captain John was very informative and showed us a wonderful time. I would recommend this tour for anyone that wants more than just a ride in an air boat. Captain John took the time to tell us about the animals in the area. We interrupted a huge Leather Back turtle laying eggs and probably saved the eggs from being eaten... More

Had a wonderful experience with the air boat ride tour we received from Captain John. We went here with our 4 children ranging from ages 6-16. They enjoyed it mmensely! Our Captain was very knowledgeable about the area and the alligators we saw. He was an excellent guide and we highly recommend this company. More

Fantastic tour. Captain Carl was like having our own personal tutor on the history and wonder of the everglades, stopping to show us wildlife and explaining what we saw. He was very Patient and personable: a man who really enjoys what he does This tour was worth the trip to Florida, Don and Pat . ! ! ! THANKS AGAIN... More

Our Pennsylvania family has been visiting Florida all our lives. Many trips and many excursions have been enjoyed. But this year's Everglades Swamp excursion with Mild to Wild's Captain Carl beat them all. You can never beat God's creation and the wonders of Mother Nature, but throw Captain Carl Johnson into the mix, and you can't do any better. The... More

Our airboat experience with Captain John was awesome! The ride was beautiful! We saw many birds, cows and of course, alligators. It was fun finding Jasper, John's wild bird friend, and feeding him. He did an excellent job finding alligators and explaining them to us. We loved it when John found and caught a baby alligator, "Nubby!" We appreciated the... More

This was one of the highlights of my trip to FL! Capt Darald was well informed, easy to get along with, and did a wonderful job and pointing out all of the sights, wild life, and history that went along with the ride and with FL in general. The cost was minimal for what we got... my only wish... that... More
