We go where only a 6 passanger airboat would dare go. Come visit and see for yourself the true Florida. Captain Carl Johnson was born and raised in the swamp and knows all the good spots to visit.

It is a beatiful Mother's Day. I wanted to do something fun and exciting with my family today. I have to say this was just that! We live here in central Florida and have experienced wildlife but not this way. This was our first airboat ride( except my oldest daughter(20) went with friends a few years back and glad she... More

I had been on an airboat in the past, but the rest of my family hadn't been. After finding these guys after a quick google search and reading the rave reviews, we booked our tour. Captain John was our tour guide and we had a blast!! We were out in the boat for nearly 2 hours and despite it not... More

Captain John guided us through an amazing tour of fascinating facts, nature filled adventure and a fabulously fun ride! Definitely not one of those overcrowded tourist trips. We had FUN! Will most assuredly be back with friends and family. Would recommend a light jacket and baseball cap this time of year (early May). We saw so much wildlife - be... More

Capt. John was our guide and the trip was well worth it. John pointed out things before I could begin to find them. Capt. John and his Grandfather were very personable and enjoyed the stories they told. Will certainly bring family and guests back for this experience. Charlie and Lynn High

Captain Carl shares his wealth of knowledge regarding the many species of birds, plants and of course, alligators that are encountered on his tours. I have been on the tour with Capt.Carl numerous times as I find it is a fascinating trip for out of town visitors. I can also assure you that NO 2 TRIPS are the same!

We recently moved to Florida and invited some of our family to visit us this past February. We looked into several attractions to take them to and decided upon "Mild to Wild Airboat Tours" - it was definitely the right decision. It was a fun-filled and enlightening tour. We saw snakes and alligators and many exotic birds. We enjoyed it... More

This morning was my first Airboat Ride and our Captain John made the experience one to remember. Took 26 pictures of the things Capt. John pointed out. His voice is clear and easy to understand and he knows where to look for the wildlife. I would do this again.

We went out on the airboat with Captain Carl....he is the best, and the trip was the best!!! We all highly recommend it. This was my first time to go, and I was really feeling kind of scared just thinking about how low this airboat sits in the water, and the gators and all.....well, let me tell you, I loved... More

Highly recommend this tour!! Had a great time with Captain John, he was very friendly and informative, we saw all kinds of wildlife and learned about native plants, saw many gators from new born to 8 foot up close. Nothing scary, any age would enjoy, easy on and off the boat. Thanks Capt for a wonderful life experience!

It was the best attraction we have ever been on in our 4 years living in Florida. We did a 4 o'clock ride. From start to finish (2 hours) it was incredible and spectacular! Capt. Carl was very knowledgeable and knew just where to go and was very entertaining. We will be going back for another tour,we are sure there... More
