What a great day! The air boat tour was so much fun and the driver was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. You definitely need to do the swamp buggy/air boat combo. The tour guide for the swamp buggy made the day! He was knowledgeable and hilarious. We have been back in Canada for a week now and we are still laughing. Worth every penny. We want to go back just to take the tour with him again.

Our experience at Captain Jacks was amazing. Our airboat driver Captain Ivan on boat #11 was awesome and made it such a cool experience. He helped us find gators and it was such a smooth and fun ride through the Everglades. For a young guy he sure knows how to navigate and make it a fun time.

This experience was, hands down, one of the best things my fianceè and I have done together! We got the total package and everything went very smoothly! SO worth it! The airboat tours were vastly different in a good way and the swamp buggy was definitely a novelty adventure. Lots of opportunity for water and bathroom breaks and it was just overall a great day!

This place is awesome! Our tour guide was funny, friendly, and very knowledgeable. We had some great up-close views of some alligators. This was well worth our time and money. We would recommend this place to anyone. If you go early in the morning they’re a little shop is not open so make sure that you bring your own bug repellent!!

Grateful for our mangrove airboat tour at Captain Jacks. Our tour guide, Jesse, was great. The folks who work there are kind and accommodating. Saw three gators! So fun to go fast. Great way to see such an important natural resource. Our captain was very responsible and knowledgeable.
