Capt John was the best. As a Bostonian and nature lover, this was a wonderful experience. We saw lots of gators and Capt John was so knowledgeable about all the birds, vegetation and other wildlife in the area. His enthusiasm and love for the area really come through in his explanations. He is the only boat to go up and... More

I never knew Florida swamp was so close to where I lived and I've been here for decades! This is the BEST airboat ride I have ever taken and I've had several including the everglades. We saw so many alligators, osprey nests, and natural wildlife I had to go back for a longer trip. We even took a handicapped friend.... More

As a fourth-generation Floridian, I cannot say enough about this trip. We saw the real Florida I remember from my childhood!! My mother is still oohing and aahing about the wide range of wildlife we spotted....tiny baby alligators, monstrous alligators, birds I didn't even know existed, lilly pads with yellow flowers...cypress trees weighed down with moss...a nest of baby anhingas...a...

I took my wife and 3 girls (ages 16, 13, and 10). They were pretty grumpy to have to drive 45 min. from Hutchinson Island, but it was totally worth it. We saw an amazing number of alligators (including tons of babies), nesting herons and egrets, and the airboat itself is a blast. And Capt. John is super nice and... More

We had a great day with Capt. John and Mr. Starke. They are so knowledgeable about the surroundings and all the critters that we saw. I wish school had been this fun!! We will definitely be going back out again. Our baseball team went out and the cameras were full of awesome shots and scenes that you can only see... More
