“Do it, you won't be disappointed!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2012

There were nine of us in all, 3 Californians, 1 Nebraskan and 5 Australians in our party travelling together. We booked on this tour and drove from Orlando, and it was well worth the trip. We saw lots of wildlife, and quite a few gators, and the airboat ride was a fantastic experience. Captain Ron was very knowledgeable and friendly,... More

“Gators Galore!”

We have been on airboats tours before and loved the experience.. We decided to try a different airboat tour company highly recommended to us. We arrived 10 minutes late,to find Captain Ron patiently waiting for us to arrive with 6 more people. Our entertaining Captain, kept us all interested and fascinated with tales of gators past and present. We saw... More

Thanks for the review and making the drive as we are out away from the crowds in the Orlando and Kissimmee area. Glad u got to see some of our special sites like the springs where fish feed like crazy. We have a house in Kissimmee and if we take the Florida Turnpike to exit 296 and come that way... More

WHOW, I like that as kids rule on vacations. Disney's a great place but some like the real deal and we strive to be very kid friendly. They really like feeding the fish and see Murphy the dragon. Thanks for your reply Captain Jerry More

“What A Find !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2012

It's funny how things work out sometimes. There we were sitting by the pool at our villa wondering which air boat ride to book from the seemingly endless number available in the booklets. From our base in Kissimmee we were spoilt for choice and soon decided to book with an operator some 10 mins drive away. In the confusion of... More

Thanks for your input, we hope everyone makes the same great find as we are off the beaten path. We know it took a little more effort to get to us, but it sounds like it was worth it to see the real swamps and springs that are not in the the normal tourist down town areas. Great to hear... More

At first glance, Tom n Jerry's was hard to find in the back of an RV park and could have used another sign to guide us there so I was a bit skeptical. They were operating out of a shed on a river. Still, we were excited to try an airboat ride - my 70 year old mother and I.... More

We do our tours on the Withalacoohee River that flows all the way from central florida to the west coast. We operate with the camp ground, fishing tours, nature trail, and lots of near... More

Gators! We were able to see american alligators and other fish and bird species native to Florida up close in their natural habitat. It was amazing. The captain and deckhand were very accommodating, offering great insight into the nature surrounding us and were very kid friendly. I recommend arriving early to fish and enjoy the scenery. There is also a... More

Thanks for the comment, i will show RD as he will want a raise. I asked him how he was doing Thanksgiving and his reply was "Living the dream" all we have to do is stay busy. We are a little off the beaten path so it takes awhile for people to find our new location. More
