Our family and friends, a group of ten, had a great tour of the Everglades even in the summer heat. From the time we boarded the boat, our captain was personable, caring, and very knowledgeable. Using a narrow airboat, we traveled deep into the River of Grass on overgrown waterways where we barely fit. The grandkids were thrilled that they could reach out and touch the sawgrass that we passed.
As the group host and longtime Florida resident, I was gratified to learn facts about the Glades and have plants identified that even I didn’t know. A summer boat ride can be comfortable. I suggest a baseball cap and sunglasses to shade your eyes instead of my broad-brimmed hat that blew around. Touring early in the morning (or late in the day) meant we could see more animal life in spite of ‘gators usually staying underwater in the summer. Try a tour! You’ll like it!

Absolutely loved this team. I was visiting Lauderdale with some friends who didn’t have any interest in an airboat tour but I was still determined to go. I researched several companies but after chatting over the phone with Capt. Jim, I knew this was the group to go with. I talked to the lovely Alyse the next day who arranged a private tour and the following morning, I was meeting Stuart at the dock. We weren’t five minutes into the tour before we spotted the first gator. I got pics and videos of a dozen more after that, not to mention the other critters (iguana, heron, anhinga) and beautiful hibiscus and lotus flowers. These guys know what they’re doing and know where to find the swamp creatures you’re hoping to see on the tour! Stuart was super knowledgeable about not only the wildlife but the history of and life on the ‘glades. I can honestly say that even if we hadn’t spotted any critters, the scenery and airboat ride alone were worth it, it gives you a real appreciation for the wetlands and the coastal environment. On top of all that, the hospitality of this crew was above and beyond, ensuring I’d be able to get to the dock and back into town to catch my flight on time. Five stars on all fronts. DO NOT end your visit to Florida without hanging out with these guys!

Our family had a blast today! Seeing alligators in their natural environment was cool. It was a little hot so we weren't certain if we would see any gators, but we did and we didn't leave disappointed. We booked these guys 100% due to reviews, so I figured I would return the favor for the next reviewers. We had a captain named Stuart who was a great driver and absolutely hilarious. Seeing a Everglades by airboat was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend this.

This a ride you will not regret spending a few extra bucks on. No strangers and a wonderful way to be out in the open. The captain was excellent at entertaining our group and even grandma had a blast. We saw camps, alligators, a plane crash and lots of swamp. At one point in the tour it seemed like birds were flying in front of us from all directions. It was a learning experience and we really enjoy all two hours of it. If you want the best nature tour in the state then take a private airboat ride.

I used to work salvage and recovery in Arkansas years ago. Going out in the Everglades brought back fond memories of the swamp. However, this was different and a vey cool experience. The Captain was an incredible wealth of information. The airboat felt safe and was the ideal way to run across the mud and water. I would love to do it again if I come back to Florida.

I booked online got the Directions to a boat ramp out in west Broward county, the directions were exact which was a relief however we were late by about 20 minutes in which I felt bad. We did meet Stuart on a red airboat I have to say he was a very kind person and took us out for our complete 2 hour ride. On the trip we saw many alligators especially babies. The 2 hour tour was perfect and directions were great.

What a wonderful tour and genuine way to see the Everglades. The adventure was different and one of the best we have done in Florida. The best was seeing so many alligators and birds. The whole family was thrilled to see how alligators swam in front of the boat and just how close we could get to them. They did not seem to mind our presence much but you could still tell they were wild animals. The captain knew his lingo too! We learned a great deal about various subjects.
