We've been on a more than a few airboat rides in different areas of Florida and they are all different. For this ride, we took relatives visiting from Connecticut with 2 adults and 2 teenagers - a boy and girl. I was expecting more wildlife but what we saw was all alligators. There must have been 50 of them all... More

We called in advance, and were told "Heck, there are tons of gators out there - it's mating season!" We saw only one small gator scurry away on the entire tour - at least my wife saw it - it was gone by the time I turned to look at it. We caught a glimpse of a few local birds,... More

Went with a group of 6, ranging in age from 8 to 72! We all enjoyed the ride with Capt Bob. Saw several gators, birds and enjoyed Florida's natural landscape. The ride lasted approx 40 minutes which was just the right amount of time to be out there. There is a phtographer snapping pictures of your group both on and... More

Yes, it is a "cute" tourist trap, but the airboat ride was pathetic "slow" experience. We saw a few gators, but they are everywhere! Heck we saw them in the pond on the golf course sunning them selves! There are a bunch of half homeless guys hanging out, a kitchen that was not open. The path of the airboat was... More

I live in the area and had been before but took a visiting relative. First they deliver on the basic fan boat ride. One of the boats and Capt will take you out on the headwaters of the St.John river for an hour of wildlife and site seeing. We saw a dozen or more gators and some rare birds. Our... More

Who knew we had such breathtaking scenery in our backyard. We have lived in West Melbourne for ten years and today we took an airboat tour, everyone should do this once. The St.John's River is amazing, so calm and tranquil with so many alligators. Unfortunately, the kitchen wasn't open today as we had heard they had good gator tail and... More

Went to Camp Holly for the first time today. What a great place. It is a step back to nature. It was cold and windy but the airboats were still running. The staff and boat Captains made you feel right at home. The live music starts on weekends in March and I will go back for that if not sooner.... More
