Thrilling airboat ride My first airboat ride ever and thoroughly enjoyed Capt. Bob's sense of humor and knowledge of Florida's wildlife. We saw over 25+ alligators plus hundreds of birds. Capt. Bob kept us laughing and in awe of nature for at least an hour. It was a beautiful, sunny Florida day and we loved every minute of it. Thank you Capt. Bob!

Great guide and experience! Great experience and time with Captain John. Our family had a terrific time and learned a bunch-from our 6 year older to our 67 year older. In addition to be a great and entertaining guide he is a former University of Miami football player-can it get any better!

Epic airboat tour We had done this airboat ride a few years ago but as we were back in Vero Beach we decided to do it again, good choice the whole experience was excellent the review only allows five stars and this would have gat more if I could. We were given a safety brief and kit by Captain Bob and departed on the ride. All through we were shown wildlife and given information on this and the history of the area. It was a great trip and I would highly recommend it to you.
