We recently went on an airboat tour with American Airboat Tours in Goodland, FL. That's near Marco Island, just south of Naples. The 1 1/2 trip is $45 for adults. It's very much worth it if you've never been on an airboat, and if you've never seen the Florida backwater landscape up close. I'm a fishing charter captain on the... More

Really cool attraction with knowledgable captains. Learned alot about the 10,000 islands off of Florida and the wildlife that lives out there. They mixed fun with education, my 10 year old son loved that. The captain pulled a few 360's wich was great fun! The captain also was featured in the documentary square grouper. Would absolutely do again, maybe next... More

From our 2 year old, to our teen, and ourselves loved this one hour experience. The 10,000 islands are beautiful, the birds fantastic. Our captain did a few 360's with our airboat that was exhilerating. Pair the trip with a meal at the Old Marco in if you can. They are licensed captains and coast guard inspected. More

Trying to find something parents and young adults (20 - 25) can all enjoy is sometimes a challenge. American Airboat Tours is AWESOME! A little history, a little eco tour, and a lot of local humor makes for a wonderful afternoon trip. Capt. and his first mate showed us a great time. Highly recommend !!! More

We had a fabulous time and enjoyed ourselves during the hour that we were on the airboat. The captain, Jerome, was very informative about the land history, animal habits/life and he was also humorous... This is a once in a life time activity for us.. We saw dolphins, rose spoon bill, osprey nest, seagulls and egrets. Even if we had... More
