Family Seating Handled Very Poorly

Booked this airboat tour as a family experience during our Orlando holiday and unfortunately the organisation completely let it down. When boarding the boat, our family of four were told we had to split into 2 and 2 across different parts of the boat, despite there being seating arrangements that could easily have kept us together. No seating allocation or guidance was provided before boarding, so guests effectively claimed seats at random. What frustrated me most was the handling by the captain. Rather than acknowledging the poor organisation, we repeatedly received dismissive responses such as “we’re all going to the same place anyway” and vague references to “weight distribution” which did not appear to have been considered at all before boarding started. Had the seating been properly managed from the beginning, this situation could have been avoided entirely. The actual airboat ride itself was fine, but the experience started on the wrong foot due to poor customer handling and a lack of professionalism. When families book and pay for experiences together, being able to sit together should be treated as a priority wherever possible.

Good family fun

Great fun! Saw alligators and the boat ride alone is worth the rate. Captain Andy and his co captain were great.

Fab family time!

Wonderful people so friendly and knowledgeable. We missed our boat ride as went to wrong address and although we couldn’t do another one that day they were happy to do the morning. They let us into the park to have a look round as we had travelled.

Airboat ride was really fun and exciting!

Wow! We had the best time - an incredible way to see the beauty of the Everglades. The kids loved it. Staff was very friendly. 10/10 experience. We had so much fun the kids wanted to go back and do it again. We saw a couple gators and so many birds. My girls loved the butterfly exhibit
