Captain Joe was outstanding as he took us on the water for this airboat adventure. The diversity of creatures and plants we saw was astonishing. Obviously the alligators are the draw, and in one three minute stretch my wife counted 6 (2 of which we turned around to get a closer look as they were huge! We lost count of how many we saw. What I found amazing was the amount abs variety of birds we flushed throughout the journey, all of them taking wing as we approached. While the views were spectacular, I have to mention that Captain Joe made the trip. When not seamlessly navigating the boat (and at a good pace at that), he would occasionally stop and point something out, or give us some history and insight, or answer questions. Great guy and great at his job. Plus his younger brother joined us, which only added to the fun. I can not recommend this trip or this company enough.
