I am absolutely terrified of boats and water. This was my first time to Florida and one of the things on my list of MUST DO items was an airboat tour. I decided on this one because they not only had an airboat tour but also a Native American village and a BBQ restaurant. From what I read on their site, you see more wildlife early so I booked a 60 minute tour first thing in the morning. I was sick to my stomach just thinking about stepping onto the boat. When the time came, I stepped onto the boat, expecting it to rock like most small boats, it didn't. Wow! I'm already feeling better about this. Then listening to the captain, hearing how experienced he was, I was able to settle in and try to enjoy the ride. There was a group of six of us on the boat. We saw several alligators, a bald eagle, lots of birds, and even a cow! The captain was amazing, he handled the boat so smoothly I forgot about being scared and busied myself taking pictures of all the sights. After the ride I had lunch at the restaurant onsite. It was good food at a decent price. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Then off to the Native American village where we got to hear stories and see how the native americans lived in the area. Very interesting and informative.

I wish I could remember our guides name because he was excellent! Because of daylight savings time our tour ended up being more of a sunset ride which was great! It is hard to believe that this big boat can virtually ride across the shallow water. We only saw one gator which was fine, I have seen them before. It was just beautiful scenery and out guide was very informative and fun.

I booked the 'VIP One Hour Private Ride' for my family and I for 10:30 today. We arrived about 50 minutes early as the traffic was good. Our guide (Captain Chris) told us if we were okay we could go straight out rather than waiting. Captain Chris gave us a pre-tour briefing on do's, dont's and safety and then we were off. Within a coupe of minutes we saw our first gator (about 6ft) Captain Chris was very knowledgable and a cracking Driver/ Sailer which made the ride all that much better. As the ride went on we saw a good number of Gators including a couple about 12ft long and also other wildlife thanks the Captain Chris's keen eye and understanding of where to go. Can't say enough about how good the hour was. Definitely would do this again and recommend to others... Thanks.... Les and family.....
