Florida is knowed for the Everglades,but too much tourists,if you want to enjoy a seacluded gem for alligator's life,this is the place to visit. From 9 am,and get to it early,you will enjoy the maximum of the Florida wild life and you will have a fantastic airboat ride in the alligators habitat. The place has also music and drinks over...

The St John's River is beautiful and the boats are adequate. We were just disappointed in the length of our ride. It was advertised as 40 minutes and our tour was 25 min at most. He took us along the shortline to some specific spots...a nice guy and good driver. He didn't know much about the wildlife except vague information.... More

On the recommendation of friends, six of us went on the Airboat Ride-our guide was phenomenal-he was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. It was a beautiful day and we were able to see lots of alligators, several kinds of birds and lots of fish jumping right out of the water. I would do it again in a... More

The airboat ride is great fun and you get to see a lot of nature. It is best in winter months when the water is colder than air and the gators are subathing. The winter is also great for migratory birds. The airboat ride is exhillarating. You get the sense that you are in the middle of nowhere. The drivers... More

We absolutely loved this airboat tour. We couldn't have asked for anything better. It was my 70 year old father, my husband and myself in our 30s and my son 3. It was great for everyone. The guide was awesome, friendly and completely approachable. We only waited a few minutes for our boat to leave. We would recommend this to... More

This is the sign that was out the front when we came by Camp Holly. It gives you a pretty good indication of it's laid back attitude. There are no set times for the airboat rides, they seem to just go when there are enough people. We probably waited around 20mins which wasn't really a problem. Being out on the... More
