Zip Through Everglades Mangrove Tunnels on an Airboat

We booked a private tour for our son’s 13th birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our guide was absolutely amazing and even shared that he was the newest Captain. Our teens had an incredible time and said it was the best trip to Florida they’ve ever had. We also had a blast at the animal exhibit, where we even got to hold a few alligators! A heartfelt thank you for making this celebration so special!

Captain Jack's Airboat Tours in Everglades City, Florida, is an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend! From start to finish, the tour was exciting, informative, and filled with breathtaking sights. Our guide, Al, was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of the Everglades, along with his friendly and entertaining personality, made the tour even more enjoyable. He shared fascinating facts about the ecosystem and wildlife while expertly navigating the winding waterways. The scenery was stunning—mangroves stretching in every direction, peaceful waters, and the chance to experience the untouched beauty of nature. One of the highlights was spotting alligators in their natural habitat. Seeing them up close was both thrilling and awe-inspiring. Al made sure we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and truly soak in the experience. The airboat ride itself was a blast. It lasted about an hour, which felt like the perfect amount of time to explore the Everglades without feeling rushed. The ride was smooth, with just the right mix of speed and relaxation. Whether you're a nature lover, adventure seeker, or just looking for a unique way to experience Florida, Captain Jack's Airboat Tours is a must-do. I would definitely go again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Friendly people and the experience was a lot of fun. Our pilot was good about trying to find wildlife and not just the boat ride. Very experienced pilot (would assume all the other guys are too) which made it fun. I would highly recommend booking online before hand, although not required.

The wife and i took both the Mangrove Tunnel and the Grassland airboats. We enjoyed them both, the Mangrove airboat was by far the best. The grasslands are on the open water, they no longer go through the grass itself. It's now more of a fast thrill ride.

We had a great time with Captain Jack’s! The airboats were both such a great time. Was fun going out on the buggy tour. The gator show and getting to hold a baby gator was such an incredible experience. Would highly recommend it.
