👍👍 If you want to see alligators close up don’t go. If you want to have a great airboat ride and experience the Everglades, it’s natural wildlife and beauty, this is the ride for you. We saw gators in their natural habitat; wildlife on the endangered species list, and our kids loved the :90 boat ride...

    If you want to see alligators close up don’t go. If you want to have a great airboat ride and experience the Everglades, it’s natural wildlife and beauty, this is the ride for you. We saw gators in their natural habitat; wildlife on the endangered species list, and our kids loved the :90 boat ride through the canals. We saw “camps” we didn’t know existed. Loved it and will bring our future guests. Great trip. Thank you.

    Take an airboat ride and get to see the Everglades real close. This is an exciting tour and a great option to enjoy with family and even small kids. You will wow kids and adults alike when they are able to see the teeth on alligators. We saw plenty of birds, fish and of course alligators. Ask for captain Braden on your tour. This was the best activity we could do on a Sunday with our kids.

    We were very upset with this Alligator airboat ride we paid 600.00 to see 2 alligators from far away when you get close they go under water. It was all about learning what kind of plants are in this river. We were very disappointed never mind it rained we were soak and wet and frozen. Don’t waste your money if you want to do this go to a alligator farm in a group. I wish I looked into this more cause it was a lot of money to see two alligators from a far that you needed binoculars to see. Very disappointed

    If I could give these guys 10 stars I would. We just did our 2nd airboat tour from this company yesterday and I have to say it was just as fun as the 1st time. The captains are super knowledgeable and super fun! It's such a great experience. Tons of wildlife; alligators, birds, turtles all out there in the Everglades! I definitely recommend a Sweatshirt if you're going in the winter months, as it gets a bit chilly with all the ... air. Thanks again guys, we will do this every year !!

    My family had a great time with Captain Rob. He shared much of his knowledge about the everglades and many interesting sites with us. We saw wildlife, including several alligators, amongst the beautiful true Florida outdoors. He took great care of our family and answered the many questions that my little ones came up with. And the airboat ride itself was awesome!

    Friendly and helpful staff. Busy day, but they got everyone served. Lots of boats to accomplish that. Mike, our captain, took lots of time to make sure all on board saw gators. We had a great time. Thankyou.

    Beautiful! The Everglades are so beautiful and breathtaking. The two hour private airboat tour made me feel alive! I booked it alone and enjoyed the hell out of it! The camps, plane crash, alligators and trails were wonderful but the airboat itself was so cool how it gets up and goes. This was really a enjoyment and seeing the Everglades was so incredible.

    This was the coolest thing we did all summer. The airboat was fast but we really like seeing about 20 alligators. We did not realize how big the Everglades were until took the airboat tour deep into them. This is a wonderful tour to enjoy with all ages.

    We had a slight mix-up in times and the entire team of captains made sure we were taken care of. Stuart was our guide and our family really liked him and felt he was just a genuinely good guy. We did the 2 hours and learned a ton about the area and all of the wildlife we saw. We had 2 adults and 5 kids from 10-15 and we all would do it again. Thanks much!

    An unforgettable adventure. Our kids found it to be incredible! Alligators, birds, lilli pads and fresh air everywhere. You won’t realize how big the Everglades are until you get out there. Definitely a very rewarding experience you need to do at least once in your life. We come to Florida every year but were a bit apprehensive of ding a tour with a bunch of strangers but then we learned about these private tours.

    Captain Nick was great! Beautiful private tour of the Everglades. Recommend the 90 min or 2 hour ride. We will do it again next time we’re in Florida!

  • 5/5 Rebecca P. 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    We did the 90 min tour, definitely go for at least 90 mins. It was awesome. Captain Chris is an Everglades expert! Everyone involved with this company is amazing, kind, and extremely helpful (especially when I forgot my phone on the boat.) Quick to respond to messages. Next time I would rent a car to get there instead of using uber.

  • 5/5 Ciara B. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Captain Chris was a great guide and told us lots of fun facts about the Everglades! The airboat tour was fun, we all felt safe. They were very accommodating and helpful for me being on crutches. Just make sure you use the washroom before going! There’s an outhouse on site though if you forget.

  • 5/5 The Point of V. 4 years ago on Google
    I wish we had airboat rides where I live. This was awesome and would not doubt to do it again. Excellent captain and service.

  • 5/5 Daniel s. 4 years ago on Google
    You need to do this. The big prop on the back of the boat was so powerful and it was not as noisy as I thought it would be. The tour was a learning type and well worth my time. I think I am now hooked on airboat tours.

  • 5/5 Rupert B. 4 years ago on Google
    Ride the River of Grass is what we were offered and that is what we did! The airboat was such a quirky yet cool contraption that took my kids and I on a fast adventure. The alligators stole the show and the guide was very informative. Definitely recommend booking a private airboat ride versus a shared one. Worth every penny!

  • 5/5 Mat P. 4 years ago on Google
    I love seeing alligators and all the wildlife so booking a private airboat ride to go with my two sisters was awesome. We were not disappointed and saw over a dozen alligators. We learned so much in two hours on an airboat. This tour will open your eyes and teach you!

  • 3/5 John V. 1 year ago on Google
    Average airboat company similar to others doing the same thing instead of creating a better experience, just another cookie cutter company. You might see gators then again you might only see what they have captive... Friendly service just the same Ole same ole...

  • 5/5 DeaDtoasterOveN 4 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend Brad for an airboat ride! He is knowledgeable about all the wildlife you see along the ride. Such a memorable fun time!

  • 5/5 Shai H. 3 years ago on Google
    That trip is one of the most Florida’s best experience you can ever wish for! I’ll start with the captain who has full control over his boat and know exactly how to drive it safely and I would say interestingly, very friendly, very knowledgeable about the area and knows the coolest hidden spots in the Everglades. His boat has such a cool sporty look, not too big not too small, build like it can go through anything, great boat for small groups who like to keep it intimate. If you are into engineering, the engine was very big V8, you can feel the power! The trip was awesome, we enjoyed very much. We even made a quick stop in the middle of it to have dinner and learn more about the area. Definitely recommended and definitely do it again with friends and family who come to visit Florida!

  • 5/5 Brandi B. 3 years ago on Google
    We took the two hour private tour of the everglades and it was a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see plenty of gators and other wildlife as well. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Jack J. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible tour to enjoy the Everglades to the fullest. This is one adventure worth doing to see the natural wonders of Florida.

  • 5/5 Mr J. 3 years ago on Google
    This was unlike any other airboat or charter we have been on.  The captain was courteous, professional, well spoken, knowledgeable and really worked hard to show us a good time.  The Everglades are amazing and a must see if you are in Boca Raton.

  • 5/5 Anthony 3 years ago on Google
    Great experience! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Kara D. 4 years ago on Google
    The ride was thrilling to say the least but we never felt a bump nor was it at all scary. Very enjoyable for our grandparents and the kids alike. You will enjoy this tremendously.

  • 5/5 Bell D. 4 years ago on Google
    This was one of the best adventure rides I have done in a long time. I was impressed by how well everything went from start to finish. Great guide and the service was excellent. Our captain really was passionate about the Everglades and gave us a hell of a tour!

  • 5/5 Alex J. 4 years ago on Google
    Powerful, fast and over the mud and water went our airboat! What a different experience! Truly a unique off-the wall tour for nature lovers and those who want something out of the ordinary. The guide will also entertain you with history and facts about the Everglades. This is genuine tour everyone should do at least once.

  • 5/5 David H. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved every minute of this tour. I had never been on an airboat ride but this was well worth it! I got to see several alligators and was able to enjoy the whole ride to myself. Everything went smoothly from booking to doing the tour.

  • 5/5 William J. 4 years ago on Google
    Fascinating adventure! There is nothing quite as exhilarating as an airboat ride over water and grass. You will enjoy every minute of it. We saw a plane crash, alligators, camps and lots of grass and water. Best tour money can buy for 2 hours.

  • 5/5 Jeff A. 4 years ago on Google
    If you like nature and alligators then this tour is for you. We got so close to seeing alligators and several. The captain told us many interesting facts about the animals and the Everglades. You will learn a lot on this tour.

  • 5/5 Robert W. 3 years ago on Google
    Probably one of the best tours we've done, Stuart was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable and informative. We booked a 2 hour private tour and for 4 of us and I've got to tell you that it was worth every penny. Highly recommended, would give more 🌟 🌟 if possible

  • 5/5 Isaac D. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing time with great friends! The captain was awesome and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend anyone looking to checkout the Everglades and all it has to offer.

  • 5/5 Miles 3 years ago on Google
    I’ve been on many airboat rides in South Florida. Brads tour is hands down the best tour around. He took us to areas of the everglades that get little to none boat traffic which possessed large amounts of wildlife. Can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Fs m. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic airboat ride on the water to see plenty of alligators.  The water level was low so we got to experience the Everglades near Fort Lauderdale as they were before the levies. Highly recommend doing a private tour.

  • 5/5 izaac l. 3 years ago on Google
    Right on time fair price the captain took us to incredible sights and places real nice and informative captain

  • 5/5 Cliff H. 4 years ago on Google
    This is the best experience in the Everglades and a great outfitter to take you on a quality ride. Book a two hour tour with confidence. We enjoyed ours tremendously.

  • 5/5 Elaine s. 4 years ago on Google
    No other ride will teach you so much in such short amount of time. Make sure you book at least 90 minutes as you will go very deep into the Everglades. Along the way you will see camps, alligators, swamp, birds, plane crash and much more.

  • 5/5 Toni P. 4 years ago on Google
    If you travel to Fort Lauderdale or Miami you owe yourself to do an airboat ride. A private ride is the way to go. No strangers and no stupid tame animals. This was the real deal! See alligators the way they were meant to be seen.

  • 5/5 chirag m. 4 years ago on Google
    Unique tour that you won’t find anywhere else like it. I have taken many airboat tours in the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee and this one was the best. We saw camps, plane crash, alligators, fish, birds and much more.

  • 5/5 Amy 4 years ago on Google
    Loved every minute of this tour. The alligators were great and the captain was very knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 Mark C. 4 years ago on Google
    A fan boat tour is just what the doctor ordered. Take at least a 90 minute tour as there is plenty to see. The fan boat is really cool and it is quite amazing what it can go over.

  • 5/5 Kaila D. 4 years ago on Google
    The only tour worth doing privately in the swamp. Much more interesting than one would think and seeing the alligators so close is great!

  • 5/5 Taylor B. 4 years ago on Google
    The alligators and birds were the stars of the show but the narration by the captain was what really made the difference. I have never been on a boar ride where we learned so much.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth J. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible tour and what a way to spend 2 hours in the Everglades. A must do and see that we enjoyed with the whole family.

  • 5/5 Natalia S. 4 years ago on Google
    Fast and fun ride with lots of interesting stories and facts to learn about the swamp. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

  • 5/5 Patrick N. 4 years ago on Google
    This was the best operator to do an airboat ride with. We live in Florida so we have been on a dozen airboat rides in the last 10 years and this company was by far the best. Their captain was the most entertaining we have ever been with and you could tell he was passionate about his work.

  • 5/5 Ronald J. 4 years ago on Google
    There is no other way to see the Everglades but from an airboat in my opinion. The airboat ride is fast and will take you far. Be sure to do a 2 hour tour. We booked the 90 minutes and for the minimal price difference feel we should have booked the 2 hours as more time on the water would be worth it. Very good staff so book with no worries!

  • 5/5 Jacob S. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow the airboat was amazing and it really was a great ride. I’m not a nature lover but this was pretty darn good. My favorite part was how the airboat go up and went. Mud, grass and water it powered all over the place.

  • 5/5 Emily B. 2 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    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!

    Awesome ride with Capt Chris yesterday! Kids loved the smooth boat ride & the crocodiles. Did a 60 minutes ride - perfect for young kids. Good mix of boat riding, animal sighting and taking breaks to learn about the Everglades. Guide was awesome, energetic and very knowledgeable. Morning timing gives you a solid chance at seeing crocodiles as it'a not too busy (we booked for 09h00). Bring raincoat just in case!
