We Loved the experience. Everyone made us feel at home. Alligators were everywhere in their natural environment really great outfit. They are awesome. 100 bucks for 3 wasn't bad at all. More

After visiting other sites and being disappointed by what we saw, we didn't have high expectations of this site. How wrong we were! From the beginning right to the end, we saw gators of all sizes plus other animals & birds. We even saw a mother alligator protecting her young & showing incredible bravery in the face of what she...

I can't believe the amount of gators we saw! Well over 50 huge gators around every turn in the river. Bald eagles and turtles and birds galore. It was great....I've been on other airboat rides but this one was the best so far. Judy was great and our guide Don was great too. A+++ More

Was on a cruise that stopped in Port Canaveral......didn't book any trips through the cruise since we were going to the bahamas after FL and wanted to save some money. We decided to rent a car - then called this company to see if they had any availability. The lady was very nice and got us on a tour....a couple... More

Took the airboat rides as a parent with a group of Canadian 14 year old students. It was a good time of learning and seeing different parts of Florida. Local well informed guides. Boats felt safe...no motion sickness, seat belts and headsets with microphones for all. It was windy the day we went so there weren't as many alligators out... More

The kids Grandparents treated us to this adventure and it was fantastic. from the moment we arrived we were looked after, our two girls (10 and 7) had a great time - from meeting Porkchop (the pet pig) to Mike, our guide, we all had a fantastic time. Mike ensured everyone could see, and more importantly hear through the earphones... More

This is a great onr hour trip to see a lot of alligators, cows, and birds. The head sets help to let you know what to look for and help to keep the motor noise down. The captain is very helpful and a true local to give local information. you are close to Fort Christmas and the good news is... More

We would recommend this to anyone. It is hard to keep the interest of a 15 year old and a 12 year old, and this did the trick. They talked about it for days, even put a photo on facebook! That is huge! The whole staff was friendly and we loved Porkchop. Thank you for making our trip to Florida... More

This was the best airboat ride we've been on to date! And - if you're lucky enough to get Captain Derrick at the helm, it's even better! He not only gave a great airboat ride, but he educated us on everything from aligators and birds to the ecosystem. He even threw in some Native American history. You could tell Captain... More

We came here as the first stop on our cruise excursion. When we pulled up I was a little skeptical about the place because it seemed run-down. However, I quickly changed my mind. Our group broke off into 2 section that were taken on a 30-45 minute airboat ride. The ride itself was exhilarating and beautiful. Its a true immersion... More
