Used my Groupon for an airboat ride last Sunday. It was a perfect, sunny Florida day. Saw gators, manatee, juvenile eagles, purple gallinules, and many other birds. Cows feeding along the shore. Capt Josh was awesome. Highly recommend. More

Thank you, Josh, for the perfect day on the St. Johns. It was great seeing the REAL Florida with baby gators, eagles, blue herons and fifty other kind of birds. And we took your advice and went to Hollenbach's for lunch. Great day!! We'll recommend you to everyone we know. Sure beats the theme parks! More

Got to see a nest of tiny gators and dozens of large gators swimming within feet of our airboat. Also spotted a manatee with its calf and a deer with a tiny doe. Add eagles and numerous water birds made for a great tour by a friendly and knowledgable tour guide, Captain Josh Rich More

I found this tour searching online for something a little out of the ordinary. Had a great tour cruising around the marsh and lake on an airboat, seeing fish, tons of birds, plenty of gators and even a few manatees. Who wants to some gator farm where you can throw them bits of meat when you can see them in... More

Josh is so convivial and knowledgeable, identifying all the birds, seeking out the manatees, pointing out the huge snoozing gators and veering over to the "gator nurseries" where a multitude of teeny gators are hunkered down. The topography is simply beautiful. So... More
