Hesitating: Do It!!! - Amazing experience. We were not sure what to expect, but we absolutely loved it! Great with kids. Guide was knowledgeable and super friendly. Safety was at the forehand (much appreciated). The ride was so nice and something we have never done before. We loved it!

We all loved it! - Our family of 4 (with two fourteen year olds) just finished an airboat trip with Frank and Brandon. We all loved it and got up close to some alligators. Brandon's communication and explanations were on point and Franks piloting made for an exhilarating ride. This is a beautiful area and it's great to see it from out on the water in one of these airboats. Highly recommend.

Great experience! - Great experience! We did the half hour tour and that was long enough. Took us right out on the water and even got to see a few crocs and babies! Very loud when it gets going but they give you earmuffs to wear for the ride. Nice little store onsite with decent prices and a restaurant to eat at too. Would highly recommend if you are looking for something different to do!

Great family experience - This was booked as part of our holiday package. We didn't have our own transport but it was easy to get a Lyft from our hotel. The Airboat ride was great fun. I wish we had booked an hour tour. We saw deer, a bald eagle, 2 gators and lots of birds. A trip enjoyed by all the family

Value for money the hustle for tips annoying and not necessary does not add to the experience - Value for money activity for the whole family a very professional and well run experience. I would advise to book in advance as we wanted to do the one hour air boat experience but we told we would have to wait quite some time so I had to take the 30 minute experience The other on-site amenities there not that great and wouldn’t keep kids entertained for that long. We did have trouble in finding the venue only due to the distance from the main strip in Kissimmee the map is correct on the leaflet but they don’t tell you the distance you need to travel to get there on our first attempt we were sent back to Kissimmee by locals and the owner of a local petrol station who had no idea of where the experience was so stick on the map and keep going it turns out to be correct and quite simple. I was surprised at notices in the boat requesting a tip of 20% for the boat captain and his assistant and the asking of a tip from the boat captain on two occasions just before we left the boat. Saying that it was great fun we saw a couple of alligators. Birds were pointed out to us and the guide seemed to be knowledgeable after taking the 30 minute trip to be honest, you get the gist of it rather than have done the one or two hour. I don’t know what more we would’ve got out of it. I will stand corrected if someone has done this and says it’s a much better experience didn’t try the food on offer. Toilets were clean. Staff were helpful.
