  Drove from Clermont and was well worth the trip. No one I our family had been on a air boat before so besides seeing gators in the wild, we were all excited about going and riding the boat. The swamp tour didn't disappoint. All occupants sit well above the water level on 2 different levels so it was easy to spot the gators. The captain was very knowledgable and answered all of our questions no matter how weird they were. Saw many gators and captain "opened it up" for us for a short time.Side notes: Had to use a sunpass only exit without a pass. If you have time to eat in St. Cloud, I recommend Marco Polo Pizza.

  Our group, which included adults and children from ages 5 to 8, went on the one hour tour. The weather, unfortunately, was cool and cloudy but in spite of that, Mark was able to spot alligators from a distance that I couldn't see until we were very close. We saw so many unusual birds and an amazing number alligators of various sizes, from about a foot long to about 11 feet long. It almost felt as if we were in the middle of our own wildlife documentary. We were all thrilled about having a chance to see the real side of Florida. The kids were laughing when we also went by a cow that was grazing in the swamp. It was a long drive, but it was really worth it. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to see the local wildlife and learn about this interesting wetland.

  My girlfriend and I made a last minute reservation for the 90 minute air boat tour and I am very glad we did. First of all, Kathy was pleasant and fun to talk to on the phone and provided excellent service. She called and made sure we were not getting lost (place is in the middle of nowhere), called to reschedule because the weather was poor, and was very friendly when we arrived. The actual boat ride was excellent as well. The captain has been on the water for many years and was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. We saw snakes, alligators, turtles, and birds beyond counting, including a nesting pair of bald eagles. Even though we signed up for a 90 minute tour, we were actually on the water for nearly 2 hours. That certainly made it seem like an even better value. Also worth mentioning: the company provides very nice headsets and walkie-talkie so the noise of the boat is minimized and the captain can easily communicate with folks. We will definitely do this trip again sometime in the future. I highly recommend this company.

  Our family chose this instead of another Orlando attraction and are so glad we did.The drive to location may seem long, be sure to have transponder for tole road. The knowledge of the guide was great, leaves you with so many memories and things to think about. Collecting apple snails was also fun at the end. Good and safe. Going early may mean seeing fewer snakes but lots to see and not crowded. We were sorry when trip ended.

  I was recently in Florida on a family trip and decided to take a detour and hop on an Air Boat. It was a great experience! My girlfriend, her mother and I took a 60 min trip with Captain. Taylor. He was extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife and was able to point out a number of alligators and nests. It was a little cold when we went out but Captain Taylor provided us with a blanket to keep us warm. We saw a number of alligator nests, two moderately sized alligators (8-11 ft) about 12 babies, a large eagle, a number of other birds, and Cows and horses, grazing in the water near Gators!! When we return we will definitely bring the rest of the family!

  My husband and I drove out to the Kissimmee Swamp Tours as a break from Disneyworld. Let me say that this made the entire vacation worth it. Better than any other 'attraction' in the Orlando Area. Beautiful, exciting, and a wonderful experience. Our Captain (LW) has lived on/near Lake Kissimmee for 50+ years and he new so much about the flora, fauna, history, etc. I really made it worthwhile. I will do it again next time I'm in Florida. I highly recommend it!

  This is a great trip and well worth the drive. The air boats were great and the skipper was very knowledgeable. If you can just do this once, this is the trip to take. Saw lots of gatorz.

  We phoned to book on our last free day in Kissimmee, unfortunately they were fully booked. 10 minutes later Cathy whom I had spoken to called back and said she had managed to move people around and could squeeze us in at 12.30 Yippee! Thanks Cathy. We set off on the drive using the directions Cathy gave us. It was a beautiful drive through St. Cloud but the traffic was horrendous so we called to say we didn't think we would make it for 12.30 and were considering turning back. Bless her, Cathy came through again and told us to keep on coming - she would sort things out! We arrived just after 1.10pm and were almost immediately taken to our boat. The hour long ride was amazing and our 'captain' was so good at pointing everything out and explaining things. We saw lots of gators in their natural habitat, a couple of really big ones too. Lots of frogs, turtles and too many different birds to mention. No seat belts on this ride - our only qualm - but to be honest they weren't needed. My 11 year old son said it was better than the parks!Absolutely a must do activity and thanks to the excellent service provided by Cathy and her team we wouldn't suggest using any other company!

  Did the one hour tour last week with my family. Captain L.W. was awesome, very informative and answered all our questions. We saw quite a few gators as well as other wildlife. The staff were very friendly, the tour was great, well worth the time and effort to get there!
