Enjoyed the scenery and the views but felt the driver was lacking personality and seemed bored at his job. I felt that we were just a number. Being a non US person, I hate the fact that we pay say $160 for the trip for my family which seemed high and then we are confronted with a sign on the... More

We went prior to noon --- before the sun got too hot. We were told that the later you go the more boats are out in the water and the more boats the less animals. However, as the water level is extremely low right now the animal sightings were low to begin with (we saw only two gaters) but did... More

What great fun this was. Could have stayed out on the river all day. Kids would really get a kick out of it. Good family fun. Worth the price to have fun.

This was a great fun experience for our first airboat ride near Inverness on the Withlacoochee River. The airboat had several rows of seats for approximately 20 people and was comfortable throughout.

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip."Duke" was a fun guide and the views are spectacular. Lots of wildlife and beautiful vegetation. We even saw gators! Just the boat ride was well worth it. It's a little loud due to the motor but they supplied us all with headphones if we wanted to wear them. We would stop from time to time to... More
