Awesome Airboat Adventure - Captain Ellie was a superb guide! My husband and I went on Sea Serpent Tour. Worth every penny for the experience. Something I always wanted to do. We had so much fun! It's loud so they give you headphones which included cool music and enjoyed the history of the river. Ellie was so informative when we asked questions. We did see an alligator, turtles and few birds. It really was beautiful. Don't hesitate to have an experience of a life time!

Wonderful and informative adventure - We thoroughly enjoyed Jason and this incredible tour of the ecosystem around St Augustine. We learned so much from our guide Jason. There is some fascinating history and beautiful scenery in the waters around St. Augustine. It was quite a nice outing on a beautiful September afternoon. All ages enjoyed this adventure . Definitely worth doing. Thank you. The Grants and Mills’s

Captain Becca knows her stuff - Captain Becca was a hoot, she was very informative about the area and possible wildlife we could see. The airboat ride was great, we traveled down the St. John's and Six mile waterways. Awesome scenery!!
I would highly recommend taking this Airboat tour, and Captain Becca was super friendly and funny. Makes for a great day

St. John airboat tour - We had a great boat ride with an outstanding tour guide. We would’ve liked to have seen some alligators, but that’s nature highly recommend.

Birthday Boat Ride. - A very nice boat ride. Celebrating our birthdays and looking for something different to do. Price was reasonable. Staff was excellent. We had a boat full but it was not crowded. The area was beautiful. Sadly, there was not a lot of wildlife to see, (some birds and a couple turtles), which was not their fault, just the time of the year. We would do it again perhaps at a different time of the year. We did enjoy it.

Good Nature Tour for family and friends - I’ve never been on an airboat and neither had my wife. We had friends in town and we were looking for something to do. This outing was listed on TripAdvisor as one of the top 10 things to do in Saint Augustine. The $80 per person we felt was slightly high but we also recognize for the tour operator that $$ doesn’t go as far as it used to to cover costs!
Although there was some light rain, the positive was the temperature was very nice. The location was easy to find the parking lot was great and there’s a marina shop with a bathroom and well stocked with things you might need like sunblock, sunglasses and emergency ponchos :-)
Our tour guide / captain was great and writing through nature on six Mile Creek was spectacular. We got to see birds turtle turtles, alligators manatees and even the remnants of a pirate shipwreck :-)
The outing was about an hour and a half, and we passed by this amazing indoor outdoor restaurant called the outback crab shack. We ended up going there after the tour and it was a wonderful meal.
The boat was not exactly fast like a speedboat… it’s a nature tour.

Slow, boring ride. Maybe worth $10 but definitely not $55 - We were all very disappointed in the air boat ride. After going on one in Kissimmee, and in Ft Lauderdale, we expected an exciting ride. This ride was definitely not exciting. Ages on our trip ranged from late 20s to early 70s. I'm 71. The ride was so slow it was absolutely boring. The captain did give incite to some of the history was was ok. But overall disappointed.
