Best airboat tour out there!
★★★★★
Such an incredible experience! Our captain and his wife Shelby treated us like family from the moment we arrived. They were so warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the whole tour even more special.
We saw a ton of gators, birds, and turtles, and the ride itself was amazing. The airboat was comfortable and they even provided ear protection so we could enjoy everything without worrying about the noise.
It was the perfect mix of exciting, relaxing, and educational. We had the best time and will absolutely be back for a night tour next time we’re in town!

Happy Regular Customer
I love Florida Airboat rides. I’ve been using them for the past 5 years. Whenever I have guests come into town, I book them a tour with Florida Airboat Rides, and tag along if I can. All of the captains do a great job of talking about the ecology, the importance and the unique characteristics of the Everglades. Alligators (which most visitors are most interested in seeing) are not a guarantee, but of the probability 10+ tours I’ve done, only once have we not seen at least one. They keep a good eye out and try to find them if they can. But just being out on the airboat and zooming through the grasses, seeing the other wildlife and learning about the groups of people who have lived (and currently live) in the Everglades is a real TREAT.

Wild life extravaganza!
This was so much more than I expected! We had an incredible experience with Capt. Cris. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wild life and the glades it made the adventure so much more rewarding. My wife being a professional wild life artist was thrilled with all the material she acquired for future paintings. Thanks again to Cris, Jim and everyone at Florida Air Boat Rides!

BEST company ever!!
This company is fantastic. We had captain Rob, who was very informative and helpful in every way! If you are surfing the web to find the perfect airboat company look no further. Seriously I read so many reviews while trying to find a great company and came across this one. The reviews are all positive and awesome for a reason. We saw LOTS of alligators, birds, a turtle and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Captain Rob would stop and explain interesting facts and share information on the native plants and birds. We didn’t want the tour to end. Quit reading reviews. Just book straight with this company and enjoy the ride! Awesome job captain Rob!! Thank you a million!!!

Over all GREAT time !!!!
Capt Jeremy was awesome. We were running a bit late, called and let them know. He was still able to get us in for the tour we paid for. He was a very friendly personable guide. This is a must do if you are in the area, and never been out in the Everglades. I highly recommend these guys.
