We did see an alligator, but the views and the history shared by Captain Cook were worth the tour even if we didn't see any wildlife. My husband and I recommend the airboat tour and plan to make it an annual tradition. Captain Cook makes the tour fun but the swamp views are worth the trip even if the alligators are hiding. Tip: if you are in the front row on the airboat I would recommend not wearing lipgloss....everything sticks!

Our excursion was for 1 hour and we only saw 1 little gator but it was informative & entertaining nonetheless.

It was a great time and we'd go back and do it again. 4 Hours may seem like a long time, but it flew by like an hour-there was so much to see and information to process. Good price, good man, good boat. This is a "Don't Miss" when you're in or nearby Apalach.

Three friends and I took a trip with Captain Larry. It was an hour trip through the swamplands of…read moreApalachicola and well worth the money. Word of caution, the embarking location is different from the 479 Market St address. We made the mistake of going to that address to meet Captain Larry. The actual meeting place was really under the bridge off of Water St. (Just be sure to confirm meeting location when you make your reservation.) The trip was quite interesting, as Captain Larry speeds through the swamp land. You truly get to experience and see nature, untouched by man. It's quite the estuary. Captain Larry even stopped along the way for us to just sit and observe the surroundings and share fun facts. We got to see an eagle, an alligator and other birds during the trip. For my first airboat ride, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would I recommend? Yes.

Our family of 6 enjoyed our airboat ride on this 60 degree day. We loved the sights and the ride!read more
