The ride was fantastic with a wonderful guide. It was just the right duration, and I gained new insights about the state where I reside.
We had an amazing experience! We traveled out to the bay where we saw eagles, stingrays, dolphins, turtles, and many birds. The guide was excellent, and the ride itself was very enjoyable.
It was incredible to experience a piece of old Florida in its full beauty. Our guide, Tommy, was not only a gentleman but also an excellent tour guide, highlighting numerous stunning scenes and wildlife that you might not usually consider. This tour is highly recommended for all ages, as everyone is sure to discover something that ignites their sense of wonder and adventure. We observed dolphins gracefully navigating the water, capturing some amazing photos through the clear waters, as well as sea turtles engaging in their natural behaviors, among many other memorable sights.
The timing for this excursion wasn't ideal, but Tommy, the owner and operator, did his best to make it enjoyable. With over 60 years in the business, he was both friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a brief view of Monkey Island, which was interesting, but I wish we could have stayed longer to observe the monkeys. The boat ride itself was entertaining, though the cold weather made it less comfortable. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would recommend going during warmer months for a better chance to see more.
Our family of five had an amazing experience. Our guide, Tommy, was fantastic and tailored the trip to our interests. We encountered numerous dolphins, a sea cave, pelicans, wild hogs, ospreys, manatees, Monkey Island, and countless birds. I highly recommend this company and look forward to returning. Thank you, Tommy, for making our adventure unforgettable.

The tour was outstanding. The airboat ride was thrilling, and the natural scenery was even more impressive. We spotted alligators, turtles, dolphins, and manatees.
