What an amazing experience !!! He made it for me and my wife to feel absolutely comfortable !!! What an amazing guy and truly knowledgeable in what he does. Like he said this is not a job.. but something he loves to do everyday. You can see this in his heart.. Also I am writing this 20 minutes after our experience! These Airboat Tours are awesome!
We did a 1.5 hour private sunset tour with Captain Lo and it was amazing! I had done an airboat ride before but it sucked compared to this one. Captain Lo made this a great experience with his extensive knowledge and great boat-handling skills. He showed us several alligators and some really cool birds and we really appreciated how respectful he was to the environment. It was the perfect way to introduce us to southern Florida and learn about the Everglades. Highly recommend.
There is a special level of concern one has when meeting up at a sketchy gas station and handing over a credit card to pay $$$ to some stranger in the deep south of Florida. I can’t tell you that I was entirely comfortable with the process even after meeting with the people running the airboat adventure. We were asked to follow a van that was the only “Corporate Branded” item in the entire process which, oddly, made me feel a little at ease.
Even if the process was not perfect, and the meet up was an adventure to itself, the boat ride was AWESOME. We were whisked across the grassy everglades and brought deep into places that we would never have been able to access. We were concerned that we wouldn’t see alligators but we saw many of them. Our Captain was amazing, he was knowledgeable, funny and full of information about the local wild life. We took a 1 hour private package (Totally worth it!!) with our 2 kids and they were able to see and enjoys all aspects of the everglades.
We had an awesome time and the kids tell us this was the highlight of their trip!!
I would highly recommend this tour , fantastic pilot Willie was very informative and you could tell he is passionate about nature . We saw a variety of wildlife and some baby gators and some very large ones . If you are in the glades this is a great tour !! We came from Ireland, so this was a true Florida experience!!
This was a fantastic tour. There was an accident that held everyone up from getting there, but the crew was super accommodating to ensure no one was left behind. The captain gave us background about the airboats, and made sure to point out all the gators. A large male swam up to the boat to greet us. Highly enjoyable trip, with a great crew! Thank you
We just want to give a great thank you to Willy for his excellent tour guide last Saturday He was very informative and a very nice guy. He made the ride feel safe and exiting. Thank you all we had a blast.
The tour we booked was amazing! it is not necessary to book the trip bc you can go there and just sign in for a tour. they are located in a gas-station so at first you don´t really know where it is. so if you search for them just by navigation, you have to go inside the shop and then sign up. for the trip you need a hat/cap and sunglasses because the tour is normally during the time where the sun is burning so if you don’t want to risk a sunburn, bring some sunscreen. The airboat is a lot of fun bc sometimes they drive really fast. I am pretty sure that you will see some alligators bc the guides know exactly where they are swimming. If yo have luck, you may see some baby alligators. So all in all I can highly recommend this tour!
