We really enjoyed the airboat everglades tour. Our tour guide, Dan, was very informative and personable. We saw alligators, turtles, many birds, and beautiful flowers. The one hour tour was just enough time, as it was very humid. The air boat supplied a lot of wind to cool us down. We were very glad we did the tour. More

The owner/operator is 2nd generation airboat pilot with a most impressive knowledge of the wildlife and a deep personal concern for the continue survival of this beautiful waterword. Hearing protector provided, drinks and snacks available. NOTE: No wildlife are fed at any time. More

I took my first airboat ride EVER last Labor Day. And I lived in FTL from '68 to '77. Lyle was so informative and I learned so much history about the Everglades, its inhabitants and its current struggle with the government. We took the first morning ride and that was perfect. It was a bit cloudy and cool and we... More

We took the airboat tour with some friends in April, 2012. It was very cool and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our guide Dan was very knowledgeable and provided lots of good info about the area. Have been to Florida many times, but have never been on an airboat, so it was always on the list of things to...

My boyfriend and I went on the tour today. It was a great ride. We saw lots of wildlife (e.g. gators, turtles, birds, etc...) and our tour guide was fabulous. I recommend this tour if your in the area. More

We took the airboat ride in March 2012 and were somewhat disappointed. The ride took ca an hour, the guide was great but the life at the swamps around was very quiet. Some birds and glimpses of gators was all. (the baby gator was cute:)) Even though we were given the earpieces, the noise from the boat engine was overwhelming.... More

I am a native floridian, so I'm no stranger to alligators being pulled out of the lake behind my house by animal control. Our tour guide, Lyle, was a very skilled airboat pilot, as he was literally power sliding the V8 powered watercraft through the very narrow grassy strips, and skimmed across the water like Jesus. On this tour, Lyle... More

We took our two boys ages 12 and 8 on this tour. They enjoyed seeing the large birds eating fish and the gators. Riding on the boat was fun. The guide stopped to answer questions and teach us about the wildlife and plants in the everglades. The gators swam away from the boat, but they are in the wild, we... More

Like the guide says, be on the first tour of day to have best chance of seeing more wildlife. And weekends probably aren't the best days, as there were already a half dozen boat trailers where we launched. Google maps doesn't have correct directions. It gets you on the right road, but you gotta keep going till it dead ends,... More
