Wow, What a great tour. We picked Kissimmee because of the Google reviews and they were right. Monica was very helpful on the phone. Advising us the best time to book a tour to see the most wildlife and to miss the rain. The spot is beautiful, a little out of the way but not far. We enjoyed seeing a bit of Florida on the drive. The tour was fantastic. Captain LW knows his stuff and is a true local" with local knowledge and love for the wildlife. We saw loads of gators" and herons and plants. With an interesting commentary from Captain LW. We had to come in early because of lighting but we were asked if we wanted to wait it out. We did and got another ride and probably got longer than our hour in total. All in all if you want unspoilt Florida and good old fashioned service I recommend you book here. Its well worth it.

Our family had a fantastic time on our 1.5 hour airboat ride. With the smaller boat we were able to get into lots of tight locations and get closer to animals than we could with a larger boat. Our captain asked what we wanted to see and he went out of his way to find it for us. The 2-way radio headsets were great. Our captain was able to give us lots of great information about the nature all around us while allowing us to ask lots of questions. A very entertaining and educational experience for our kids and us adults.

Wonderful experience, Wonderful ride!! Pauline called us on our way to the boat to make sure we didnt get lost. She was in the road waiting to greet us. Captain Mike was as 8engaging as he was knowledgable. He gave us a memory making ride. Then there was Jessie. A teacher when she isnt a co-pilot and biology instructor on the boat. I believe there were only two kinds of people on the dock when we returned. Those who went on the ride and those who wish they had!! Thank You for the memories B Aaseby. Olympia, WA

Wife and I went here on out 1st trip to Florida around April. Got to say we loved it.. the staff Were very friendly, they even gave us a call back to make sure we didnt get lost which we did by the way. And the caption was very nice funny and know a lot of hes swamp. We love the fact that he took hes time to show us the whole land, not no 20 min ride and get off my boat type. We will Definitely be back next time we are in the Florida. Thanks guys greeting from N.Y.

We had such an enjoyable ride with captain John. From the first phone call Kathie cared about us, calling us for giving directions and so forth. The ride was 90 minutes, the boat was in perfect shape and we got numerous point outs to plants and animals that we probably hadnt spotted ourselves. An amazing experience that we definitely will not forget. It is very well worthwhile the 1 hour drive from Lake Buena Vista. Take the non-toll-road route its a scenic route.

I have not taken the air boat tour, but I have gone camping there. I love it, the staff is just wonderful, the area is beautiful, the facility well kept. What I love the most is seeing the eagles land right there at the pier. I have also seen Sandhill Cranes, Northern Crested Caracara, and Kestral, to name a few. Great place!

The customer service at this place is amazing. Pauline was so nice, greeted us as we arrived and took the time to show my little area, the dock, the boat and birds. She was so friendly and answered all his questions. Captain Mike was great too and gave a fantastic tour. Id highly recommend.

My wife and I enjoyed this tremendously! Our guide was knew her stuff. She was able to get us up close to a lot of alligators and other local wildlife. She explained for us many aspects of the local swamp ecosystem. It was quite an education (and the airboat was a blast too)!

I really enjoyed the trip. Kissimemme is a about 1 hour away from orlando, but easy to find. It was a small boat and we got to see lots of wild life, aligators in all sizes and all types of birds. The staff was really friendly and helpful with directions.

This place was very far and off the beaten path but totally worth it! It rained the whole time during our tour but Captain Brooke did everything she could to make sure we saw alligators and other animals! We will definitely be visiting here again!

We had a great time today! Best airboat experience so far. The captain was very funny and interesting, and we got out of there with so many interesting pieces of information. We strongly suggest Kissimmee swamp tours and will definately be back!

Dont give five stars normally, but this tour was great. Well worth the drive south for it. The airboat captain knew his stuff, and was a blast to be onboard with. Airboats are clean and smaller, unlike the huge ones you see closer to orlando.

We had an excellent airboat tour! I recommend to people of all ages. We took the 90 minute tour and Loved every one of those minutes. Every one at Kissimmee Swamp Tours was so nice and interested in making the ride great for us.

Very fun and educational. It was definitely worth the 45 minute beautiful journey from Kissimmee. Bob was our guide. He is very knowledgeable of the land and wildlife. We had an 11,9 and 7 year old and they loved it!

Went on a swamp tour with Captain Bud. We saw at least a dozen gators and countless birds and other wildlife. Captain Bud did a great job of getting us close and answering our questions. Highly recommend the trip.

This is the real deal! There are very few places in Florida that is frozen back in time. This is a throw back of what Florida was 50 years ago. Take a day off your Disney vacation, this is better than any ride.
