    Absolutely amazing! We had the pleasure of having Captain Mike as our guide. Mike was so nice, hilarious and knowledgeable. He allowed our 7 year old to co-captain with him and it made our sons day!! This was a last minute decision for us and I am so glad I called! Great memories were made!

    Absolutely amazing! Not only was the airboat it self fun, but Captain Mike is quite amazing. We had so many laughs, and experienced so much at our time with him! He sure knows how to keep a crowd talking. The trip was overall very enlightening and all around fun! We saw 10+ alligators in the wild, and were fascinated with tons of facts about them that Captain Mike shared. My family and I 10/10 recommend this airboat adventure! It truly is an unforgettable experience!

    We had our first alligator hunting experience through Airboat Rides Melbourne on our vacation in Florida. Our tour guide Mike was the BEST! Very personable, and super educated on the area. He allowed our son Grayson to be his co-pilot, and the best compliment we received was him saying how polite and well mannered Grayson was! We will definitely go back if in the area again….. don’t forget to ask for Mike! The Scott family

    Captain Mike is a fantastic tour guide and knows the St. Johns River like the back of his hand. We saw dozens of gators and his educational comedy is great too! Would highly recommend an airboat tour with him. Can't wait to go back and explore the other areas of the river (maybe even at night!)

    My children and I had never been on an air boat before, my husband had. We really wanted to experience this with our children. This company and captain was amazing! He explained the wildlife to us and how stuff works out there. It was such an amazing experience! I recommend this company to everyone! We were not disappointed at all! Saw many gators and all different kinds of birds and fish! I personally felt so free out on the water!

    Captain Mike was very informative with environmental facts. We saw a good number of alligators and the airboat ride was fantastic. Thank you fior a great excursion.

    Capt Dexter was a great guide!! We saw so many alligators and birds. He was informative and very generous with his time. We will be back!

    Amazing experience and tour guide was brilliant. We came over from England and this is definitely something I would recommend if you're visiting Florida. An extra shout out to the tour guide who went out to find my son's cap when it blew off when on the airboat. To dunk your hand in gator infested water to make a kid happy was slightly mad but very appreciated by two parents who would never hear the end of it. We really enjoyed the mining. The food in the restaurant was lovely and well priced.

    Captain was professional, friendly and definitely knowledgeable about the ecosystem of the region and took the time to educate the passengers. Pretty wildflowers to see and a chance to see the root system of some larger trees while the water levels are low this time of year. A few small/baby gators were around. Stars taken off for 1. stopping and parking the boat twice to talk for several minutes at a time (in 90+ July heat). We expected more ride anf less idling. 2. Not much of a thrilling/exciting ride-hardly picked up speed with very few turns to make it fun and not enough time cruising through the river, mostly in the lake. I've been on several other airboat rides in Brevard County and this was a snoozer compared to the others, but that make work for some people so just keep that in mind. Either way, enjoy the outdoors and bring water on the boat for summer experiences.

    We had a fantastic ride with Captain Mike! We took our daughter and granddaughters and they loved it. Not only did we see lots of gators and birds, but he taught us a lot about the area and the ecosystem we were in. Highly recommend them! This was our second time and both rides were awesome. Can’t wait to do it again.

    Captain Mike was fabulous!!! We were visiting from niagara falls Canada and my husband Mike and our little girls absolutely loved our private tour. Mike had such great knowledge, stories and truly cares about giving you a memorable and fun experience! Thank you so much Captain Mike.

    Dexter was an awesome guide and I would highly recommend this for a special event. We saw so many alligators and different birds and Dexter knew so much about them, and shared great stories.

  • 5/5 Brett B. 11 months ago on Google
    Fun experience! Captain Mike shares some history of the area, knowledge of the animals and their habitat, and makes the experience one to remember! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 cw 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend this service, especially the private tour. Captain Mike is extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of interesting information about alligators. We spotted numerous alligators, as well as various birds. The ride was a good balance of riding on open water, riding through reeds, and stops for a better look at alligators and Captain Mike’s sharing of info. Book a tour with Captain Mike for a fun, informative time!

    Captain Mike was awesome. He told us all about how the cypress trees grow, lots of things about the gators. My family and I loved being out on the airboat. We saw a lot of gators, birds, and we even saw some turtles!!! I would highly recommend these guys!!!

    I thought I had already left the review but I guess I didn't. 3 weeks ago I think it was My husband and I went on airboat ride with these folks and it was really nice. Because of the algae bloom problems in Lake Washington we actually went down near Malabar in Palm Bay to a park that's out there that has a really nice little launching site and some composting toilets that do not have compost for you to put in there so they're a little primitive I suppose but they are there. I had never been on an airboat out there I've been in Brevard county The 35 years and never went on a ride out there on a boat and I'm so grateful that I got to. The captain was knowledgeable of the history of the area of conservation in the area and of all the wildlife that was around as well as a fun captain. I would absolutely recommend going out on an airboat with this company It was the best airboat ride that I've had living here and I've been on at least a dozen of them.

    Went down the river and back. There were no alligators to be seen and the driver talked politics the entire time. He stoped in the sun for 20 minutes to kill time to I think so we could reach the 45 minutes paid for. The kids enjoyed it but they have not been on one before. I Went to the Ozarks and rode the boat in the national Park way more fun.

    Captain Mike was the best. My son, George, and I had a blast. Captain Mike was very knowledgeable about alligators and the wild life of Lake Washington. He made zero cheesy jokes which we appreciated.
