What a fun trip! Driver made sure to spot us lots of critters of the night. Answered lots of questions. Overall just a fun time. Thank you
Such a good experience!!! Very nice staff and good explanation. We saw many alligators, different sizes, got some cool videos and pictures
Seeing baby & adult alligators at night under the stars is an amazing experience. Our captain was very knowledgeable, fun, and friendly!
This excursion was fun; however, a cold front that entered Florida resulted in the alligators not surfacing. We did see many small alligators; however, no large ones. The company was organized, informative, provided ear protection, and was even accommodating to 3 of our group whose flight landed late and they arrived a few minutes late. I would recommend this excursion, just be cautious, there are many factors on seeing the animals, the excursion is in the wild, and thankfully, the company does not feed or pester the animals to make them surface.
You never know what you’ll see The airboat was fun and exciting to ride over the grasses and lily pads
Nice experience of airboat to see wild life gators and birds on the lake Toho near Orlando FL headquaters of Everglades for affordable price The staff is professional the boats are well maintained not too crowdy We enjoyed the 1 hour tour enough to see and understand the area We recommend for family and children
they canceled the ride on us last min so we had to find some where els to go now to try to get my money back
Brilliant place to visit . I felt like James Bond ! Speeding over the Everglades stopping to see many gators and other wildlife including bald eagles 🦅 it also has a lot of other stuff to do to keep adults and children happy while you wait for ride. Brilliant way to spend a few hours highly recommend
Excellent guides & charming location. Fantastic evening exploring the headwaters of the Everglades at night. Saw dozens of gators & birds. Would love to come back with my family.
We chose the night tour as it was more likely we would see gators then. We were lucky to see some babies, only 3 weeks old as well as 3 other older gators. Our guide was very knowledgeable giving us information on habitat and the other wildlife in the area, we saw some grey heron in flight. The park itself was very clean and although it was technically closed by the time of our tour the owner kept the bar and gift shop open for a short while after we arrived. We also got to feed some juvenile gators in the park. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience and engaging and experienced guide. We even got to see baby alligators who had just hatched within 12 hours. Our first airboat ride and we were not disappointed! Beautiful lake and sunset. Thanks for the unforgettable experience!!
Totally amazing, great night time tour. Lots of gators to be seen. Guide takes his time and no rush. Very very good
Captain Geoff and his wife and co navigator Denise were wonderful. We were captivated by the beauty and tranquility of this place and charmed by his wit and humour as well as his fantastic knowledge and great stories. We saw an alligator nest, an alligator mum guarding it, and a cayote! They spotted a bald eagle in the far distance and lots of birds. It was a highlight of our trip to Florida.
Great time. Captain Jeff was great. We did the nighttime tour and saw lots of alligators. Felt safe the whole time!
We had a great time. Saw lots of gators! The guides were fantastic. Be aware that if you ride share out, it’s hard to find a ride share back to Orlando and the cell service is very spotty.
We had a great time on our sunset airboat ride!!!! We saw a bunch of alligators and our crew was super knowledgeable and funny. If you can, sit in the front! Make sure to wear a hoodie- it gets a bit chilly on the water. I would recommend light pants too if you get chilled easily. What a wonderful experience!
Such an enjoyable hour!! The scenery was spectacular and the wildlife was stunning. I would have stayed on that boat all afternoon and not cared whether I saw an alligator or not. But we did:) My very hard to impress teens were as delighted with the trip as I was "frickin awesome". Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience 💗
We really enjoyed our time with captain Patrick. We saw some alligators and the guide was very knowledgable. It was worth the money.
Really enjoyed the 1 hour airboat trip with Boggy Creek AirBoat. They were friendly and knowledgable. The boats were clean and comfortable. We saw lots of gators, birds and even a bald eagle perched high in a tree. I would recommend the head sets they provide if you are sitting in the back. They have a cute little information area and a few small interactive exhibits for kiddos so come a few minutes early. The tour leaves right on time so do not be late.
It was great… the weather was not so good and they had to wns the ride early however they did all they could to accommodate us.. still saw some beautiful sights
Capt Steve was FANTASTIC!! Fun, extremely entertaining, and knowledgeable about the wildlife and history! The 1-hour tour showed gators, birds, beautiful scenery and family fun! We also experienced the gem hunt which was a score of gems and stones compared to other “mining” experiences. The lunch provided had choices perfect for an afternoon of fun! The butterfly garden was not as active but it was a cooler day that may have prevented butterfly activity.
Best excursion I've been on all week. Would definitely go again next time I'm in Florida. We saw 6 gators in total. Several bird s Species. What fun
Tanner was our captain and guide today and we had a fabulous time. We saw several large alligators and some babies, which were around a year old, plus a turtle, and a couple of eagles. There were also a multitude of other birds. Tanner was very informative and knowledgeable. Highly recommended a trip.
Excellent experience with Captain Steve today he was really knowledgeable, and we spotted some great wildlife Inc at least 8 alligators. Great trip well worth it.
It was a nice clear night sky to be out on the water and get up close to the alligators and birds in their natural habitant
Andy S. was a great tour guide. Very informative,knowledgeable and experienced. Terrific experience. Highly recommend.
We had booked à sunset tour but due to lightning we had to reschedule. Captain Andy advised us to get the night tour to see the most alligators. We loved the tour in the dark spotting for alligators. We highly recommend Boggy Creek and captain Andy.
Our guide was amazing and we saw lots of alligators! The sunset was beautiful too. I highly recommend
We had the most unbelievable experience last night on the night tour with Capt Andy. This place is so clean, tour well organized, and did I mention Capt Andy is awesome !!! We saw birds, pigs, cattle, and SO many gators from a mama on a nest, babies , medium Crocs , and the greatest sight yet was a very large adult male with a turtle in his mouth that stood with our boat for a considerably long time before he finally took off. Go on any tour here,but if you can get in a night tour DO IT !!! We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know coming to the area, have told our hotel concierge the amazing experience we had , and will definitely come back again if we visit the area again
I had such a fun time. My captain was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. He made sure we got plenty of pictures. I would definitely do this again.
Was a good time saw lots of alligators. Great experience! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Orlando.
Fascinating tour, the guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The venue was easy to find and the experience was out of this world. Next time I am here with family, I will bring them for this tour!
Very nice experience which will remain in the memory bank. I do not like to be forced to write more than required.
We did this tour Valentines night it was a blast! They were so friendly, and our tour guide was excellent! We saw babies and HUGE alligators' birds and all kinds of things! My whole family went and loved it!
We had a great experience with Taylor as our guide. We were able to view Mama and Babies in the natural environment. Lots to see! Everything ran smoothly! Highly recommend!
I really didn’t know what to expect on this boat ride. First, the company itself has a sweet setup while awaiting the tour. There’s a restaurant available, which we did not eat in, however, it was a nice option. There were several things to do while waiting - A gift shop, a pen with baby alligators, a butterfly sanctuary, which had some beautiful, u usual butterflies, a gold panning area, and a nice waiting area under the trees. There was no cost to participate in most of these activities, Captain Wayne was on our boat. He was GREAT. He was very knowledgeable, laid back, informative, and made us all feel safe. The boat goes out into a lake. There are no trees, just lily pads and rushes. Sometimes we went fast, sometimes he stopped so we could view nearby alligator. We saw several alligators and he told us about their habits and lifestyle. There were many types of birds. We even saw an Eagle with a fish in its mouth. There is no cover to protect you from the sun, but we did not get hot because it was a mild day and the boat cools you off while zipping around. The seats were very comfortable. They had ear muffs for sound protection, which was nice because the engine was noisy. We were on the hour long ride, which went by very quickly. If you want to do something different and go out in nature and see alligators in their habitat, I highly recommend this tour. It’s not a thrill ride, but it was so interesting and easy and fun.
Enjoyed the ride BUT disappointed that a 1 hour ride lasted less than 1 hour. The boat left late & returned 6 minutes before the hour. Felt we did not get everything we paid for!!
This tour with Patrick was Amazing! We saw so many gators! I really loved how peaceful it was out on the lake when we stopped and got to see all of the cool birds! Then we stopped out in the middle and just enjoyed how quiet and beautiful it was before heading back. The best experience on our Florida trip!!! Recommending this to everyone!
We had a great time with Dave. We saw lots of wildlife and Dave was very informative. My husband and friends loved when he twirled the boat in circles.
I bought tickets online for the evening tour and they called me just an hour or two beforehand to let me know that I can't do the tour because nobody else bought tickets. They also required you to be an entire hour early for the tour. I highly recommend Gator Airboat Rides instead. The man who runs this business is down to earth, more casual, and let me take the tour with my boyfriend even though it was just us. He also lets you hold and take photos with his pet baby alligator. I highly suggest you spend your money there rather than at this place.
Captain Andrew is who we had and we could not have asked for anyone better! Very knowledgeable about his job and the environment! He answered all of our questions, was very polite, and got us right next to the gators! I would definitely do it again today if we had the time on our vacation. The night tour adds a spooky element to the gator tour. We all would rate it a 10/10! So much fun! Captain Andrew made the trip for these North Dakota folks. Thanks again.
Andy was phenomenal! He was polite, soft spoken and very knowledgeable with our random questions. Would highly recommend a night tour!
Fantastic experience with Justin - a fantastic captain and made the whole ride enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone looking for an air boat ride.
Justin was JUST INcredible! great experience wont forget for a long time definitely recommend. saw loads of gators and even an eagle
This was AMAZING! We went out with Captain Brandon who was great fun and extremely knowledgeable. Being out in the dark looking for alligators in their natural environment was a wonderful experience and i would highly recommend this boat ride. Don't hesitate-just do it! All of the staff are welcoming and friendly and we were privileged to witness the release of the native butterflies into the recently opened butterfly house. We have fantastic memories and will definitely book again on our return to Florida.
The weather wasn't cooperating and we thought we might have to cancel/reschedule but last minute the storm cleared out and we are so glad it did. Our Captain Brandon, did a fantastic job find us several gators to see, one even attacked the side of the boat. We all enjoyed the ride and would absolutely recommend this to anyone considering do it.
This was such a great experience and lovely to see Florida outside of visiting theme parks and shopping malls. John our guide was really knowledgeable and we saw lots of wildlife including a few alligators. Like other reviews would strongly recommend a 1 hour tour as you get to see so much. Great online booking experience, clear directions and friendly service. Would highly recommend.
Captain Andy was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about alligators, where they were found, nesting, incubation periods, their habits and more! I bought this as a birthday gift for my Husband and he loved it!!
had to wait for the weather warning to clear, but andy kept us well informed. fantastic ride, seen plenty of gaters & andy was very nolagable about the gaters, would highly recommend
