Captain Bill - Five Star Review

We are a family of four from the UK - we had an incredible Everglades airboat tour with Captain Bill! He is warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable—truly the highlight of our trip. Our teen boys thought he was fantastic, and we couldn’t speak more highly of him. When our tickets didn’t appear on the Tripadvisor app, he was incredibly responsive—literally within minutes he had messaged me on WhatsApp and sorted everything out. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care made the experience seamless and unforgettable. We would recommend Captain Bill without hesitation to anyone looking for an amazing Everglades adventure.

Best in the business!!!

Captain Bill is the absolute best there is! He went above and beyond to help make my family and my excursion memorable! My wife, 8yr old daughter, father-in-law and myself took the sunset tour. Saw many gators as well as many waterfowl. Also got a little sneak peek behind the curtains due to a storm that came in quick. Got to hang out at one of the many cabins out in the Everglades and wait out the storm while still learning and having a great time. I could tell our safety was top priority and really appreciated it! He is extremely well traveled and full of knowledge and just overall fun to be with/around. He also helped us choose a place for dinner that he takes his own family to, and it was great!.. shoutout Uncle Al’s!!! Staff and food are great there also! Take my advice and stay away from the tourist traps like Holiday Park! Captain Bill is the only one you need for a great time! My family and I will definitely be back to ride with him!

Must Do!

Amazing tour! Captain Bill was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He captures pictures and emails them to you, so if you missed it. He also gave us other recommendations of what we should do while in the area. His restaurant recommendation was amazing!

Best Adventure

Our experience was absolutely amazing! Captain Bill is a phenomenal tour guide from his knowledge to humor. Our 8 year old son had a blast and loved searching for alligators. We highly suggest taking an air boat ride with Captain Bill. It was a blast!

Beyond Excellent. Make priceless memories with Captain Bill

Exceptional in every way! Captain Bill is a phenomenal guide, teacher, story teller and a true American! Our whole family enjoyed the experience, because of the expertise and friendly banter captain Bill provided! The scenery was outstanding, the alligators were plentiful and the boat pristine. We would book this again!

Fun and Educational

The boat ride was very fun and informative. It was a great learning experience. It was amazing to see alligators up close. I would recommend a private tour to get the best experience. I would also recommend a minimum tour time of 2 hours.
