Great time - The gentleman at the counter was the most fun and kind man. Ornery but so kind. This is not much of a learning tour since you wear headphones. We were at the wrong season so only one gater at a nest. The drive was kind and killed the engine so we all could see and learn for a few moments in the heat. I highly recommend this company.

4 Brits on holiday in Orlando - baby gators and gator next galore! - This gator experience was fantastic. We got the full 30 minutes out on the water, the drivers of the airboat were very knowledgeable and you were given lots of information about the wildlife around the area. You felt very safe on this airboat and could tell the drivers were experienced and knew what they were doing. We got to hold a small gator named ‘crazy Mike’! And there are also a few small things to purchase in the shop and souvenirs, although not many of them. We didn’t get to see any large gator’s as it was so warm they were all being nocturnal at this time. We did get to see some small 10 month old gators which were very cool, and also a gator nest, which again the drivers were very knowledgeable about and could tell you lots about. We also got to see an Everglades snail kite - of which there are only 2,000 left in North America. So this was very rare and awesome to see. I have been on two airboat rides precious to this one, both in Miami, and although this place was much smaller and didn’t quite have as much going on (eg smaller gift shop etc), it was still all round a great experience and would be good for anyone wanting to experience airboat rides.

Great Airboat Ride - The crew was fun, the wetlands were great, and the airboat ride was awesome. My family enjoyed the entire experience. I would recommend simply to have fun in an airboat.

An Amazing Adventure Into the Wonderful Wetlands - I did the early morning excursion, and no one else came, but they took me on a private trip anyway. I really enjoyed myself. Beforehand, I was able to observe a four-foot alligator right near the dock. I also purchased a keychain that had the same size foot with claws as the alligator I saw. Then, they let me hold and take pictures with an alligator that they had the jaw taped shut, and it was like holding a long baby. On the airboat, I saw lots of wildlife. There was a brown rabbit, several types of birds and a smaller alligator. I was amazed that there were beautiful lotus flowers in bloom and the driver slowed down so I could take some close up pictures. When I turned around, he handed me one and said, "You can't get any closer than that." I laughed so hard and was shocked and thrilled at the same time. We also saw a beautiful large nesting bird that was resting on some eggs, and another smaller mother bird with three little ones with her. I had an amazing airboat ride and upon my return I saw a group of about six gathering to take the next ride. I was absolutely thrilled and highly recommend them as everyone was curteous and considerate.

it's a must do if you are in Orlando. - No guarantees to see crocs or alligators, especially in the daytime in high summer. However the experience of the boat ride and the sense of humour of the boat guys make it very enjoyable. They had a 3 year old croc in the office which we were able to have a hold of.

Great experience - Fantastic experience. Getting to hold a gator and learn so much about them before going on the airboat tour was an added bonus.

A bucket list experience - Great experience run by a knowledgeable and friendly team of guys! It always been on my bucket list of things to do and it didn’t disappoint. My boys loved meeting Psycho Steve the 2 year old Gator who hangs out in the office.
