Absolutely worth it - My wife and I did the mangrove tunnel and grasslands combo. Both were good, but the mangrove trip was great. Definitely worth the trip!

Awesome Experience in the Everglades - WOW! What an awesome experience! Captain Wayne showed us sights we had never seen before. The 90 minute ride was amazing - airboats are a blast. He took us up channels both narrow and wide, and through the grasses and reeds. We saw alligators including babies and a mama with her baby on her back! He educated us on the history of the Everglades including water control, hurricanes and flooding. We saw camps where people have cabins in the middle of nowhere and are only accessible by airboat. One of the best tours we ever had. Very, VERY highly recommend this tour and this company. We will be back next time we’re in south Florida.

Great experience - Taking the Everglades boat ride with Captain Wayne was an unforgettable experience for both my son and me. From the moment we boarded, Captain Wayne impressed us with his vast knowledge of the Everglades ecosystem. He expertly navigated the winding waterways while pointing out an array of wildlife that left us in awe. His passion for conservation and his ability to share fascinating facts about the local flora and fauna made the journey not just fun, but also educational.
The boat itself was comfortable and well-maintained, ensuring a safe and pleasant ride through such a unique landscape. Captain Wayne was also incredibly attentive, making sure all passengers were engaged and had the opportunity to spot the wildlife.
For anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of the Everglades while learning about its delicate ecosystem, I highly recommend this boat ride. It’s not just a trip; it’s an adventure that educates and inspires. Thanks to Captain Wayne, this trip will remain a cherished memory for my son and me.

Beautiful experience in the Everglades - We were looking for a more eco type tour of the Everglades and Captain Wayne was amazing , we had a great time , saw so much wildlife and the ride was both thrilling and peaceful, other tours include things we did not want (like alligator wrestling ) this experience was tasteful and the center stage was the natural beauty of the Everglades

Fantabulous Airboat Excursion - We saw many alligators, blue herons, egrets and wood storks. We had a blast. Captain Wayne pointed out the wildlife and give some interesting facts about the Everglades. Before the end of the excursion I was seeing alligators on my own I would recommend this excursion to everyone.
