This was an awesome time it was my first time on an airboat, and as a floridian that's always wanted to do ride one it lives up to the hype. Jason is very knowledgeable and does his best to make sure everybody is having a great time on the tour. Doesnt even feel like just a ride but really going out into the lake to areas with plenty of gators and birds to observe in various places. For the hour tour it feels like you experience a lot. Hard to say what was cooler seeing all the gators and birds out deep on the lake or the experience of riding around on the boat through all of it and how the boat can just zoom over anything.

The airboat tour was very exciting for me and my teenage daughter. Jason treated us like he knew us and explained the safety and land layout as well as the things we saw in nature. I recommend this to any one visiting Okeechobee area. His reviews speak for themselves. He let my daughter drive the boat as well as myself. Good memories made. Highly recommended!!! Thanks Jason!

Called Jason the day of to see if he had availability for my sister and I in the afternoon for an airboat ride, and he was so nice on the phone I immediately felt at ease that it was just the two of us girls going! He took us out for an amazing trip, felt like he really loved doing it! He found a huge gator for us to see too among a ton of other wildlife. So glad we chose him to take us! Will definitely be back with friends. Thank you for the great experience! 🙂

Great ride through the marshes along the lake. Our kids 7, 9, and 11 loved it. The airboat captain gave each of them a little time to steer the boat, which they loved. We saw big gators, baby gators and many cool birds. Be prepared for noise and sunburn!

We scheduled our first airboat ride. It was very nice. Just the 2 of us and our guide, Jason. He was great. Very informative and knowledgeable. Showed us many alligators, both big and small, along with birds and flowers. Got a few really nice pictures of some huge alligators.
Jason even recommended a good place to get an alligator lunch after we finished.
Would highly recommend!

We truly enjoyed our airboat ride, seeing interesting vegetation, alligators (large and small), fish and many species of birds. Jason knows all the species, he was an excellent guide, very personable and accommodating too. We highly recommend this experience!

Jason makes the air boat ride something special with his expert knowledge and easy going attitude. He is so knowledgeable and helpful and beacuse you get intercom headsets it is easy to talk to one another the whole time. Jason provides cold drinks and even waded out to take a photo of us! He does and goes to your requirements so couldn't be better. Great value for a family as first hour is $40 per person then its a flat rate of $40 per hour after that. We stayed out for 2 amazing hours and saw just about every bird you could at that time of year. Jason knows the best places to go and his enthusiasm is infectious! Thank you for a memorable trip.

My wife and I have been on a number of airboat rides in the past but they all tend to be standard tours where you have no control of the route, pace or choice of things to see and if it rains, you get soaked. With Jason, if it rains, he will look at the weather on his Iphone and take you to where it is drier. You can also tell him what you want to see and how fast you want to go. He will even let you drive the airboat yourself for a while if you ask nicely and he will take photos and videos of you driving on your own camera. Without doubt, Jason’s is the best overall airboat experience we have ever had by a wide margin.

Took a one hour ride with Jason and the three of us had a great time. Jason is very nice and flexible on scheduling, plus he is very informative. Lot of fun seeing gators, birds and moving through the marshes. Would definitely come back to ride with him.

We live in Orlando area. We were looking for an airboat ride that was not part of the typical tourist run, i.e., Everglades City. After thorough searching, we decided to go with this one. Was I glad we chose this. It is in Okeechobee, on the edge of the lake. There are many different habitats to see and explore. It is a beautiful area. But what makes it an experience instead of just entertainment is the captain of the boat, Jason. He knows the area well, and readily shares his knowledge with you as you cruise. He is very easy going, and even let us drive the boat for a little while. If you are looking for the prepackaged tourist attraction, where you get the typical "gator hunt", then this is not for you. But if you want to experience the beauty of the real Florida and Lake Okeechobee, which to me is one of most precious areas in Florida, go here. You will not be disappointed. I could not be happier about our visit!

Hello! We are 'nature' people (Husband was an African Safari guide, etc.) who would like to schedule a tour w/you next week. We want to bring two guests from Virginia who are also 'nature' people. They travel the globe doing nature things. Question: I have an adult spaniel who is my constant companion. Would he be allowed on your boat if I accept all responsibility for him? He always sits or lies and has his own life vest. Seldom barks. ---- Thank you in advance for reply. ---------- Sandi & Peter
