Extremely good tour! The guides are very knowledgeable and nice. Touring groups are small enough and boats are safe. Not to mention the views and animals - goes without saying! Amazing trip and amazing memories 🤣

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.

We had such an amazing time with Mark! He’s very knowledgeable about the beautiful mangrove trees, history, and tight turns. The two-way headsets kept things fun and easy to communicate. And we got to see some beautiful wildlife. We will definitely come back with more friends and family!! Thanks again for the fun ride Mark!

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!
