After a little bit of research, my husband and I decided to go with Jungle Erv's for our airboat ride in Everglades City. It was so much fun. We saw two alligators before leaving, at the dock outside of the building. Our captain, Mike, was fun and knowledgeable. He did some 360's and took us out into the mangroves. We... More

This airboat ride was a much better experience than the one I took last fall (with a different operation). Captain Bryan provided information on various plant life and the workings of the tides (just enough…not too much), caught a crab and some fish and took pictures of the group of air boaters with everyone’s camera. We did not see any... More

First, I think everyone has to be realistic when going on whatever air boat tour you go on. Sometimes you're going to see alligator and sometimes you won't. On our trip we were very lucky to see some gators, so I'm giving this a high review. In the end I think a lot of these tours are the same thing.... More

They show you absolutely NOTHING. You go in a circle of boring mangroves and never see one single animal. It's very expensive and totally boring. I wish I could turn back time and go somewhere else. They never take you to see open Vistas and there is never a good view. They also take you in circles and pretend its... More

We had fun, the guide showed us some alligators. We are from Florida so we've seen it all. The boat went fast, the captain did some circles...what more is there to say? I think it was more expensive than it was worth. I didn't like that they feed the alligators marshmallows. I was disappointed that the tour was all in... More

We went out with Captain Johnny yesterday with eight of us, and we all had a great time. The ride was lots of fun, and the captain showed amazing maneuvering skills. Johnny also knew lots about Gators which he shared with us on the two stops we made when we saw them.

Our Captain not only was entertaining but he was very sweet and sensitive to the needs of my stepfather who is not very healthy. He helped us get him on and off the boat and made the ride fun without scaring us too much. We had such a blast! The 11 foot gator we got close to was the biggest... More

This is my first time to FL. The weather for December has been perfect by my Utah standards - pleasantly cool with a touch of humidity. My adult son and I are visiting my parents who moved here recently. The drive from Ft. Myers on I-75 to Everglades City was great; not too much traffic on a Saturday and I... More

Jungle Erv's Airboat Tours was great. We were very impressed with how authentic the tour was. The driver even stopped to feed a few wild alligators along the way. They came right up to the boat. We were glad we didn't stop at all the tourist traps along the way. Well worth the drive out to Everglades City,FL
