Fabulous experience - loved the sound track and stories that were perfectly timed with the boat ride. We didn’t see alligators but captain Ellie gave us a great nature experience

This is a really neat activity-well organized; great guides and beautiful scenery. Very cool experience.
It is absolutely refreshing. Much intelec on nature meeting nice people and just enjoying the ride which is awesome.
The Sea Serpent airboat ride was such a wonderful experience! The tour is very well coordinated from the check in, guide narration, and the boat captain- excellent! Shout out to Capt Ellie! She was an amazing guide as she was extremely knowledgeable about all things wildlife and just generally a superwomen! Would definitely recommend this to couples and families visiting the St. Augustine area. I would hop on again tomorrow if I could. Great job!!
Becca was very engaging and had a great sense of humor.
Captain Bekka was knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. Enjoyed the airboat ride. It’s beautiful on the creek.
We took the airboat ride with Captain Mike. The headphones and what were on them were amazing! Stories and music. We saw many beautiful things. We saw alligators which Captain Mike said they hadn’t seen all day because it’s alligator hunting season. You really need to experience this activity! It was so amazing!
Captain Elly was fun, knowledgeable, and a good pilot. She had lots of jokes too, great time
We enjoyed the ride and experience. They couldn't help the rain but it is Florida. The captain was awesome.
These was the biggest waste of money i have ever experienced. You could rent a kayak and go faster then we did. Don't expect to see much of St. Johns River either, you go maybe a 1/4 mile. If there wasn't a bend in the river you could have seen the start point. IT WAS SO BORING. The whole boat load seemed bored. Some even looking at their phones, and it wasn't to take pictures! Coming back we went maybe 5 miles an hour while the captain told us a long drawn out story about gator mating. Of course i know they were trying to waste time BECAUSE WE HADNT GONE ANYWHERE!! Do not waste your money, Please do better on y'all's tour and stop wasting peoples time and money!
