Great! - This was an awesome ride! The boat was just super fun and we got to see a few Gators and some birds out there. Just a fyi you have to or advised to wear the ear muffs as it's noisy without! I highly recommend this tour. We did the hour tour and it was great. Not much else at the park but all in all great morning . Special thanks to Preston our greyline driver. He was really friendly, chatty and guided us really well! Thanks again 😊😊

Terrific day trip - Fantastic trip! Greg was an excellent guide, with great knowledge around the safari and the rest of Wild Florida. The airboating was brilliant fun, getting to see lots of wildlife and a bit of speed

Fun Experience with a great driver. - Taking an air boat ride has been on my bucket list for years. My boys and I decided to make it happen at Wild Florida. The ride was amazing, the park was fun. The boys even got to pet and feed capybaras. Our tour drive Bob made the trip! He was the icing on the cake for this trip. Sign up for this trip and if you get Bob as your driver you are in for a treat!!

Excellent tour, Greg did his best to keep us entertained, gave tips not to miss the best parts of the touror Orlando - Really good tour, Greg had us entertained the whole trip, even giving us tips for other activities in Orlando besides the Airboat tour and Wild Florida. I just wish I had a little more time before leaving, as I missed a one part of the park, although I took my time checking all on my own, and had the drive in Safari, if you are faster or don't go to the Safari the allotted time should be enough.

Great driver - Ismaiel was a pleasure. Genuinely friendly, knowledgable man who made our trip to Boggy Creek even better. Turned up on time, and as we were the only party to show up he dropped us back off at our own hotel around the corner. He’s a credit to your company.

SCAM! - This was a scam. We bought tickets for airboat ride through WILD Florida ($70 for 2 tickets) and then saw it was at same place we had already visited so then we found this 3 hour tour ($200 for 2 tickets) so we cancelled and rebooked for this Central Florida everglades tour. We were to arrive at 830am, which we did. Fortunately we followed the bus to the destination. When we arrived at CENTRAL FLORIDA EVERGLADES.....it was actually WILD FLORIDA in which we had cancelled our much cheaper tickets then we were told our 830am tour wouldnt begin until 12:45PM. We had other things scheduled as we thought 3 hours our we would be done by 1130am. Viator/WILD FLORIDA refused refund. TOTAL SCAM!

Trip was cancelled - We were only in town for three days and this was on our itinerary for the last day. Our trip was cancelled on the day before our scheduled airboat ride.
