It was terrible. I would not recommend this tour. I was not impressed with the captain of the boat. I did not like his attitude.

Captain Sam did a great job creating a fun and educational experience for my friends and me. We danced and enjoyed some music, and we learned a lot about the ecology of the Central Florida landscape and its history. I highly recommend this super fun and friendly tour! Thank you Captain Sam!!

This experience did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to secure a booking at 10am on Monday 3/6 and ended up being the only passengers aboard. We chose the perfect day to get out on the chain of lakes. Captain Dave was the best guide. Very talented and knowledgeable individual. He has a keen eye for camouflaged birds and low lying alligators. He allowed us to listen to our own music and even put us on to some new tunes that matched our interests. We had an opportunity to eat with him and his girlfriend at Twisted Prop Bar and Grille. His recommendation for The Philly Cheesesteak was the right move. We ended up back at the departure sight at 2PM on the dot. His time management and passion for customer service is top tier. We will definitely be back with a group in the near future.

A fun experience!! Me and my family saw many birds, beautiful trees and even an otter! It was an amazing experience that shows the natural beauty of Florida. It was pretty hot, but it was a good thing we had a shade on the boat. We also stopped for lunch at The Twisted Prop and tried gator bites. Thank you Captain Dave for this boat ride 🤗🤗!!
