Must do fun ride
The whole team were very friendly and fun. Great ride experience and loved all the wildlife visible including some baby alligators which is phenomenal that the guides and boat pilots could even find them.

Memorable evening
We had a great time on the night ride. We saw quite a few alligators and the whole experience was very positive. My son was allowed to sit next to the captain and loved every minute of it.

Great. Loved the driver....
Great. Loved the driver. He could spot gators from yards away. Knows the difference between a gator and a log.

Waste of time and money!
My family and I just drive 40 minutes for this gator boat tour and did not see one alligator, even though their company name is Gator Airboat Tour. I am very disappointed in the time and money wasted in this groupon.

Gators
It was fun. I thought the price for 30 minutes was fair and i don’t think I’d want to do more than 30 minutes on the loud airboat. We saw some alligators and the guys running it were very nice. We got to hold a baby alligator.

Amazing Gator sightings!
Amazing experience! Definitely worth every penny! We did both the the day tour and came back a few days later for the night to where we loved it so much. While the daytime Gators can be hit or missed, the view is breathtaking. We counted over 20 Gators seen on the night tour, even caught a glimpse of a 10 -footer! I would do it over and over again.

Family vacation 2026
The experience was amazing, we travel to Florida every year for our family vacation. I'm always seeing the airboat rides advertised and wanted to give it a try. The location was easy to find and the crew was very helpful. The airboat ride was amazing and the view was so beautiful. We'll definitely be coming back 😊

It was so worth it we did...
It was so worth it we did see a lot of alligators. Great customer service. We got to hold a pet alligator afterwards

Not a gator to be seen on the ride
We booked this with a coupon company. It was a short ride on a boat and that was it. No alligators, just a few birds. The trip is basically a boat ride. The name suggests gators but it’s got nothing to do with them really. Don’t get me wrong, the people were nice and the boat is cool. But don’t expect to see an alligator…
