    The nine of us had a great time with Captain Randy on our Everglades airboat tour. Randy's communication up to our appointment was excellent, and during the ride, we all enjoyed talking with him about the animals we saw and the history of the Everglades. Thank You Randy!

    This was our 3rd time driving with Randy. He is so nice and knowledgeable. We always have a great time and see lots of alligators and wildlife. We will be back for the night excursion. Thank you Randy!

    We booked a tour with Capt Randy and our guests from St Louis. The for was great. Randy's knowledge of the Everglades made the beauty and serenity of the ride so interesting. I've lived in Broward County for 40+ years and learned so much about the ecosystem and wildlife. We had more friends down from NYC who we took on a tour. This was my side and my 2nd tour in 2 weeks. Absinthe Again, everyone loved it. Highly recommend.

    Great trip and ride! Took our grandsons, 7 and 9 years old. One hour was the perfect amount of time for their age. They loved it and so did we! Captain Randy was very knowledgeable and we saw a ton of alligators, turtles and wildlife. The Everglades were beautiful!

    We had amazing experience with captain Randy! All got a chance to drive the boat.. saw Gators and different birds. Ended with an amazing sunset over the Everglades...highly recommended. He shows wonderful nature and alligators. You don't regret for this tour!

    We had a great time. Captain Randy was the best. It was chilly out and he tried his hardest to find us some alligators. While we didn’t see any (it’s February) we are still beyond thankful for the amazing experience. Highly recommend. He’s personable, genuine, knowledgeable and funny! Will definitely return when the weather gets a bit warmer and they come back out of hiding!

  • 4/5 Brian B. 1 year ago on Google
    Our experience was really straightforward and relaxed. I liked that it was a little bit away from the larger tour companies yet still easy to find. Our captain was awesome, letting the whole family take a turn driving. He made sure we stayed out until we caught some gator sightings and overall was just a great host. It would be ice if there was a sign somewhere in the parking lot or some other way to confirm you’re at the right spot in case he’s out when you get there. His directions were spot on, so if you follow those, you’re at the right spot!

  • 5/5 Marie P. 1 year ago on Google
    Randy was amazing. He was very patient with our kids.and answered endless questions. Our only issue is we had so much fun and the kids were asking to go again.

  • 5/5 C W. 1 year ago on Google
    Airboat for four (private tour) was amazing and we felt great value for price. We loved riding the boat but also learned things about the area and the importance and management of the Everglades. Captain Randy was friendly and enthusiastic. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Edgardo “Eddie” M. 1 year ago on Google
    My family and I had a fantastic time. Capt Randy did a super job chatting with us about the Everglades, not just the animals present but also the history of the area. The best part was being able to steer the boat through the canals and the grass. That was fun and made the experience even better at a higher level. This adventure is a must when visiting the area.

  • 5/5 Dustin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience. Captain Randy was fantastic. He was great with my young children. 100% worth it!

  • 5/5 Jillian G. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great experience on the air boat with our guide Captain Randy. It was wonderful to see the Everglades from a different perspective with a very knowledgeable guide. We got to see lots of wildlife and even got to drive the boat! We will never forget this wonderful experience.

  • 5/5 David R. 1 year ago on Google
    Randy was a terrific captain! Our day was perfect. Got to see a bunch of alligators and learn about the terrain. The boat was fast, but we were safe and comfortable.

  • 5/5 kate d. 1 year ago on Google
    Captain Randy was awesome. Our family of 5 joined him for an hour long airboat tour and he made our day! He shared his knowledge and experiences with us in such a fun way. We really enjoyed his company and would highly recommend that everyone should take his tour.

  • 5/5 Jessica H. 1 year ago on Google
    Captain Randy was fantastic! We saw tons of gators and even had one come right up to the boat! Excellent experience and highly recommended!! Will definitely do it again!

  • 5/5 Ruth Y. 1 year ago on Google
    This should be your one and only choice of airboat ride EVER. Captain Randy was amazing and a wealth of knowledge. Great eyes to spot the alligators and good sense of humour. This private tour is the only way to go. Thank you for a fabulous tour.

  • 5/5 S F. 1 year ago on Google
    I checked on many different airboat rides before I chose Captain Randy’s Ride Like the Wind. I can save you the trouble and the time. Book with Captain Randy. This was the BEST airboat ride I have ever experienced. We were able to have just our family on the airboat. Captain Randy gave us a wonderful ride through beautiful scenery. A couple of us even had the fun of driving! Captain Randy is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed what he shared with us in his friendly relaxed way. Plus we saw gators! I look forward to when we can book with Ride Like the Wind in the future.

  • 5/5 April S. 2 years ago on Google
    We booked a private two hour tour with Captain Randy and had a wonderful time! The fan boat is small enough to go through lots of different parts of the Everglades. We saw so many beautiful birds, a few gators and a variety of plant life. Randy was knowledgeable and very kind. He even let my husband drive the boat! It was a great experience!!!

  • 5/5 Chris G. 2 years ago on Google
    Randy is a fantastic guide. He is friendly and very knowledgeable of the Everglades region and is very patient and calm with guests. We felt safe and secure during the entire two hour tour. We learned a lot about the history and challenges that threaten the ecology of the Everglades. I highly recommend Ride the Wind and Captain Randy!

  • 5/5 Krista H. 1 year ago on Google
    Captain Randy was funny, kind and professional! Our group of 7 with ages 14-72 all had a wonderful time! The boat ride itself was a great experience but seeing an alligator swim right beside our boat was icing on the cake! Would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't done this. No gimmicks. Captain Randy meets you at the park entrance and drops you there when your time is up! No crazy souvenirs or caged animals in this experience and thats how we like it! Thank you Ride with the Wind!

  • 5/5 Julie L. 2 years ago on Google
    What an amazing time!!! Captain Randy was the best tour guide. We saw alligators, birds, and just beautiful lilies. If you have a chance to take this tour, don't pass it up!!!

  • 5/5 Rusty 1 year ago on Google
    Capt Randy was an incredible guide! He made the trip educational and entertaining! From knowing every bird to up close and personal with the alligators! You will not find a better guide!! Rusty A

  • 5/5 Kevin T. 2 years ago on Google
    Me and some friends met up with Captain Randy for a private air boat tour. I highly recommend captain Randy, he is very knowledgeable and took us to a bunch of wildlife (gators, turtles, birds, etc.). Will be back again next time in FL. Don't think twice, book the tour.

  • 5/5 Bonnie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Randy is an amazing Captain- my son and I had a great time seeing gators and learning about the everglades. I highly recommend taking an airboat tour with Randy. Excellent for families!

  • 5/5 pearl j. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the most epic day with Captain Randy. It was such a gorgeous day on the water and we are glad we chose a private boat tour. My friends and I took turn driving the boat which was a blast! Randy stopped to tell us some history about the Everglades and we of course spotted quite a few gators and plenty of other wildlife. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Captain Randy was the best guide. I’ve wanted to do this for years and he did not disappoint. If you are thinking about taking a tour you should book it with Captain Randy!

  • 5/5 Carol W. 1 year ago on Google
    I went with 4 friends who came to town for a visit. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time with Captain Randy! He was very knowledgeable, fun, friendly and full of great stories! I will certainly be bringing more friends for a ride with Captain Randy!!

  • 5/5 Brittney K. 1 year ago on Google
    We have never been on an airboat before this. Wow the experience was amazing. Randy was the best captain we could have asked for. We took a 2 hour tour with 6 people age 7 and up. Perfect family activity. Lots of information about the Everglades and of course we saw gators, turtles and birds. Absolutely worth the money. Definitely booking again.

  • 5/5 Debra A. 1 year ago on Google
    So much fun! Worth every dime!! Captain Randy was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the everglades and alligators!! We will do this again!!

    You have to take time on your trip to do this! All 6 of my family went out with Captain Randy and it was so awesome! He was so nice and had so much information about the area and the habitat. It was one of the highlights of our trip! We will do it again for sure!

  • 5/5 Wendi C. 1 year ago on Google
    Captain Randy was awesome. He is very knowledgeable of the land and water as well as the wildlife living there. So fun to get to see an alligator up close and learn to appreciate its beauty and the beauty of the Everglades.

    We took a private airboat and our captains name was Billy. He was a great guy who was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Being from Virginia we never experienced anything like this and we were extremely satisfied. We would definitely do it again and for anyone looking to have fun ask for billy

  • 5/5 Brian O. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Simply the best, exceeded all our expectations. You simply won’t find a more qualified, knowledgeable and passionate person about the Everglades than Capt. Randy. You start the tour as a client and leave as a friend.

  • 5/5 Cheryl B. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Captain Randy was amazing! Took his time to find gators and share his many years of experience with wildlife with us! Awesome ride and guide!
