[amaroo]

Looking for Airboat Tour company recommendations...

Leaning towards booking with this company Best and Luxury Airboat Tour/Rides in Everglades,Florida - airboatineverglades.com Anyone had experience with this company or any other offering the same thing?

Anyone done this type of tour out of MIA......any good?

Seems such experience may be limited on AFF; maybe try FT?

Quite. Have gone ahead and booked the 2hr tour......have always liked the look of those crazy, noisy contraptions. First time in MIA - really looking forward to thawing out after Quebec!

Maybe my forthcoming TR will create a surge in bookings Looking forward to our ride in early Jan 14.

I think basically they are all the same.
A couple of habituated alligators to charge the boat and be fed.
Still worth while doing once as it is different.
We did ours driving Alligartor Alley on our way to Marco Island-very good Hilton there and swimming of their beach found myself swimming with dolphins and later a manatee which were much better experiences and free!

Can't remember the name of the one we did but it was a lot of fun, our guide was missing most of one hand! - the thing I liked the most is that it's full of Australian native trees! Go us!

We did the Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Ride out of Kissammee area today. 90 minute tour, saw three huge gators and lots of other wildlife. Very informative guide/driver, Captain Blake. Well worth it if you are in the Disney area and need a break for a day. About a 30 to 40 minute drive from Disney world area (downtown disney)
