We were only a few days in Ft. Lauderdale, and thought we should try to get in a tour of the Everglades. We found Fort Lauderdale Airboat Tours based on a friend's suggestion, and I'm glad we did. Capt Wayne was great, and gave of a 1.5 hr tour of the Everglades, showing us the various amazing wildlife, including adult and baby alligators. We requested the boat to ourselves, but there is more room for others so I'm sure families will fit -- just ask! Thanks again for a great day.

Great everglades tour!
My wife and I took the hour and a half private airboat everglades tour with Captain Wayne. It was hands down the highlight of our trip to Florida. Genuinely a once in a lifetime experience. Wayne is knowledgeable and observant - he knows the routes like the back of his hand and pointed out the sights (especially the animals!) so we didn't miss them. He knew the names and habits of those enormous wading birds - there's something magical about moving through the water with a dozen seemingly slow-moving storks or herons flapping their wings just ahead of you. And don't get me started on the alligators. I thought we'd maybe see one or two, but we actually saw at least 100. Big ones, small ones, sleeping ones, active ones, you name it. Wayne knew where they were and what they'd be doing. The everglades are a really fascinating place - when you're whizzing through the thick reeds in an airboat, you have the sensation of being in a truly unique, peaceful, mysterious, and wild environment while in actuality being just a few miles from Palm Beach! Wayne did a great job communicating with us before and after the trip, there was no weight at the dock, and if we could give the experience 6 stars, we would.

A Florida Highlight
Family from the UK we did the 90 minute private tour at the end of July 2024. It was an amazing experience and a highlight of our three week Florida road trip.
Wayne was an excellent guide and we saw plenty of wildlife including several alligators. Recommended!

WISH WE COULD STAY LONGER
Captain Wayne was great to work with. Very responsive to our needs (small child).
Very informative as to the flora and fauna of the E'glades and surrounding area.
90 minutes was too short, wish we could have had an extra hour. Very cool outing.

AWESOME, AMAZING, FABULOUS, INFORMATIVE
This company is AMAZING! Captain Wayne was such a fabulous guide and so very knowledgeable about the Everglades and its environment. He knew all the spots to find alligators and the incredible wildlife, all kinds of birds and explained about the camps out in the middle of the Everglades. Captain Wayne is the OG of all the Everglades Airboat rides and you will never find a better tour and guide. We were able to cancel and reschedule so easily because of bad weather. BEST AIRBOAT RIDE EVER!
