“One of the Best Attractions in Florida!!!

We were in Florida for Winter Break. There were 6 of us, 2 seniors, 2 40 year olds and 2 teenagers. We had seen the Disney thing and loved it but we wanted to see Florida and its wildlife. We heard about taking airboat tours in the Everglades but we didn’t want to drive 4 hours there and back. So we looked into other airboat rides in Orlando and Kissimmee. They were very expensive and in order for us to afford it we need to go searching for coupons. I went to Trip Advisor and looked up the reviews for the airboat rides because maybe the inflated price was worth it. When I read through the reviews one company stood out. It was Spirit of the Swamp. I called the number and I spoke with Debi. She was great. Very friendly, helpful and informative. We loved the idea that the 6 of us could have a private boat ride and for 1 hour at a very low price of $40 each. The other boat companies wanted $85 for an hour boat ride and you where on the ride with a lot of other people.

We booked it and had truly the best time. All of us. The kids wanted to go back another day and so did I.

The Capt. was great very educational. He pointed out everything. He even would circle back to any spot so you could get a picture. The headphones you wore had microphones so you could speak to the Capt. or other people on the ride. You could ask questions and ask the Capt. to swing around to get a better look or a picture. We saw so many animals, alligators, bald eagles, water moccasins, hawks, armadillos, raccoons and many other birds. We loved this ride and the nature of Florida. Truly a great experience. Thanks to Capt. Harold and Debi for providing a great educational opportunity and not a tourist trap.  Highly Recommend!!!  Syracuse, NY
