We did this activity as a work group function and it was a blast! Our group booked the 1 hour sunset tour and it was just the right amount of time. Captain Geoff was awesome and knew all the good spots to look for gators (we saw 2 and some babies!). And speeding over the water in the tall grass brought out the 10yr old in me! This was also very educational, as Geoff was very knowledgeable, even if he teased that was his first day :) Highly recommend if looking for something to do in the Fairhope area.

Airboat express is hands down the best fanboat tour in Mobile. Geoff is an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide, and booking with Brittany was a pleasure to arrange with. We went over the water, speeding by on the fanboat, finding gators and other wildlife. You will enjoy it and likely will learn something. Will absolutely be back.

We had the absolute BEST time with Captain Geoff!!! He was super knowledgeable and made the kids laugh! I wish we could've stayed on way longer than an hour! Can't wait to come back :)

Very fun ride. The captain was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. I just wish it had lasted a little longer.

Delta Explorer - On the boat

Delta Explorer

The tour was interesting and the guides were humorous and kind. The boat was a piece of crap. It is…read morea large pontoon with a plywood roof and rows of inward-facing hard bench seats. What is the point of a tour when the seats face inward? Why is there no padding? It would be more comfortable to drive a Mexican school bus along the causeway. Not great for 90 minutes and I can only imagine how trying it is for three hours. No way I could go back unless they change the seats. Absolutely must have some semblance of padding and backrests, and face forward or outward.

It's my anniversary weekend so I booked us a couple of spots on the Delta Explorer as a surprise…read moreadventure for my hubby. He's a huge history buff and they were doing the Civil War cruise today. We boarded the large pontoon at Blakeley State Park and set off down the Tensaw River, then doubled back down the Apalachee and Blakeley Rivers, for an hour and a half trip led by Captain Steve, and two very knowledgeable Blakeley Park Rangers, Mike and Brian. Along the way, we learned about the forts that were built to protect Mobile as we passed the sights of major battles of Fort Blakeley and saw where Forts Tracy and Huger once stood. We could see the remnants of the walls of Fort Huger, which was built on a mound in the marshes near where the Blakeley River flows into Mobile Bay. The sight of Spanish Fort was not preserved and now has a subdivision built where it once stood. On the two screens on the boat, they displayed a power point presentation featuring the Union Generals and their troops, the maps of the battles, and the underwater torpedos. We also learned about the extensive research on these lesser known, nonetheless, important battles of the Civil War, as they led to the fall of Mobile on April 12, 1865. While aboard, we watched and eagle chase an osprey, a flock of pelicans, and another lone pelican that decided to give us an up close and personal look at him, as if he were a plant by the Explorer crew to remind us that they also host a birding cruise. In addition to the Civil War cruise and birding cruise, they host a sunset cruise, port of Mobile cruise, an adventure cruise, a luncheon cruise, and a Bottle Creek Mound cruise. The pontoon is equipped with a restroom, more than enough life jackets for everyone on board, and the boat and Captain meet the Coast Guard requirements. We were in good hands. We only paid $27 per person and it was well worth it. The cruise was so fun and relaxing, we're already taking about taking the port cruise, sunset cruise and the Bottle Creek Mound cruise. The cruises are set up through Blakeley State Park, and they post information about them on their Facebook page and website if you're interested in going on a boating adventure.
