We took our three grandkids out with Capt. Lawrence this morning. On the ride home our ten year old grandaughter decided this could be her "best vacation ever" and I'm sure the airboat ride was a deciding factor. As a sixty-something year old kid, I was equally impressed. As an actual "Florida cracker", locally born and raised (along with his... More

Capt. Lawrence was a fantastic tour guide and knows the area well! We saw several alligators, and lots of different birds. His boat was comfortable and we enjoyed Captain Lawrences narrative. I would highly recommend his airboat ride for anyone who is interested in a fun experience!

We had a fabulous time on our airboat tour today. We had family meet up from three areas around the state for an early Mother's Day celebration. So glad we found you. We have all been on airboat rides before and Capt. Lawrence is by far the best guide we have had! We definitely recommend to anyone thinking of an... More

Our group of 13 was Corporate Executives and Managers from a locally based company with offices in both Florida and Alabama. This outing was the kick off to our annual Manager's Meeting and for most of us this was our first Airboat ride and tour, and what a ride it was! We had the pleasure to tour with Captain Lawrence...

I Took my wife, daughters, son-in-law, and grand kids out today and it has been the highlight of our Florida trip. His knowledge of the local ecosystems and boat handling expertise, not to mention his genial personality, make Capt. Lawrence the top choice for any air boat experience. We wanted to see alligators, especially my wife and grand kids, and... More

This air boat ride was awesome. We came down to Florida from Michigan for a few days and this was number 1 on my list of things I wanted to do. I trust TripAdvisor and use it for recommendations every time I travel (which is quite frequently and all over the world). This air boat ride was HIGHLY rated, I... More

I was looking for something really special to do with my daughter and grandson and Capt. Lawrence definitely made that happen. His expertise not only made it fun, he opened up an entirely new and exciting window into nature for us! His knowledge and ease made it not only exciting but really interesting. The only downside...IT ENDED WAY TOO SOON!... More

We have been out 3 times now with Florida Crackers airboat rides and each time has been different, interesting and very exciting! We have taken our young children, grandparents, aunts, cousins and loved it. We have seen baby alligators, anhingas, egrets... The Capt was the best we have found. No forced, fake banter just knowledgeable information about the area and... More

My sister and I had been on an everglades tour on a airboat near Miami after a cruise we traveled. We now are in Vero Beach and wanted to experience that again but were very leary about it after the first one we had experienced. Talk about a totally different experience!

Capt. Lawrence guided our family (4 kids, 5-11 yrs old) through the backwaters of the St. Johns river where we saw TONS of alligators, from 14' beasts to tiny babies, barely a foot long. We also saw turtles and osprey and egrets tending to young birds in their impressive nests. The kids all had different favorite things about the trip:... More
