We heard this was a fun place for an airboat ride so we took my parents for upcoming Mothers Day and Fathers Day since we will be heading up north for the summer. The four of us had a great time, although no one but my husband would hold the little gators! Our guide was fantastic and knew the answer... More

We went out on a tour with Capt. Wayne and had a good time. He was very informative and had agreat sense of humor. We really enjoyed ourselves. There were 6 of us-grandparents, parents and grandchildren. Thanks to Bonnie we all got to hold Trixie. Quite an experience!! We would definitely recommend this company to everyone!!!!!! More

Tour date: April 15, 2012. My husband and I went on the tour and left the kids home. I can't say enough about how friendly both Captain Wayne and Bonnie were. We took the 11am tour. It was wonderful from beginning to end. While waiting for others to arrive, Bonnie answered many questions that we had. She was very sweet... More

Great laid back experience. It was a little too much information to hold the attention of my 3-year old throughout the trip, but she still says she loved it! Lot's of information and some real down to earth people to guide you through the 2-hour experience. It was a nice escape from the madness of the parks and is a... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our airboat tour. It was extremely interesting, informative. We saw alligators, and a bald eagle among other animals. This was my first time on an airboat-and I loved the ride. I was so impressed at the skill of our Captain and how respectful he was of the lake, the animals and the neighbors on the lake. More

Captain Fred's was awesome. Our daughters were able to hold baby alligators. Before our tour we were educated about the alligator. The airboat tour was great. The captain knew where all gators and birds were. He pointed out the bald eagle nest and an immature eagle, numerous spots where alligator hide. I highly recommend their tour to anyone traveling in... More

I visited Captain Freds with my mother, my 12 year old son, and two nephews 12 and 8 years old. We all had a great time. Our airboat captain was Wayne and he was such a nice guy with a great personality. Captain Wayne seemed knowledgable about practically everything on Lake Hamilton. He showed us snakes, turtles, birds, gators, plants... More
