Great Experience - Great inexpensive excursion to check out while visiting Ft. Lauderdale. Jake our air boat captain was knowledgeable, safe, and timely. Prior to airboat ride the restroom, facilities, and gift shop. We’re both open which was a welcoming surprise. If you forget to bring bug spray, you are able to purchase it in the gift shop prior to boarding the air boat :)

Great Night Airboat Tour - I was so worried this would be a bust, but it was fantastic. Captain Andrew was a great host, very informative, and somehow knew exaclty where the gators would be in the pithc black. Saw at least a dozen gators, eating swimming or just hangin out. This is THE tour you want to take to see gators near the Everglades.

Great nighttime adventure - Great trip. Captain Nick was great. Took time to answer our question. Great ride and lots of alligator. I have no idea how he could see anything at night.

Great airboat tour with lots to see and explore! - Very enjoyable experience for me and 14 year old twin sons. We did the daytime tour first which was also good, but we saw a lot more gators during the night tour. The daytime tour is about 40 mins and night tour was a little over an hour. Both captains were very good and they have a small area with animal exhibits which include, a snake, red tegu, turtles, small gators for petting, and some larger gators. It looks like they are expanding this area. We also ate at the food truck, it was enjoyable!
