    Everglades.
    Crystal H.

    Captain Randy was an amazing tour guide. We had a great time exploring the area and seeing local wildlife. Not only was the tour amazing but Randy is personable, kind, funny and very knowledgeable. We will definitely take another tour in the future!

    Fun times!!

    We had the best day with Randy. Don't waste your time with the rest. RANDY is the Best!!! This was our 3rd outing with Ride the Wind... can't wait for the next time!!

    Simply Beautiful!

    Wow!!! What a wonderful way to start the day! You are simply enveloped in the beauty of the Everglades!! I highly recommend Ride The Wind and Captain Randy. He is very responsive and provided detailed directions regarding where to meet him. Captain Randy is an excellent tour guide, regaling you with information about the Everglades and the indigenous flora and fauna, while weaving in local folklore. You feel as though you are in the company of a friend imparting their love for the area and the people who live there. We saw birds, turtles and of course alligators. In addition, really enjoyed being able to drive the airboat ourselves! We not only had a great time in this trip, we can't wait to do it again!! Thank you Ride the Wind and Captain Randy for a great time!!!

    His shady response (the name calling and attempts to scare me away from visiting S FL again) reflects upon his shady business practices.

    Awful Customer Service!!! Our one hour private airboat tour was canceled the night before due to weather (cancelled on 5/20/2018). Captain Randy told us that we would be refunded 100% within 24 hours (as is stated in their policy on their website). I waited 7 business days to see if a refund would show up on my credit card statement. No refund. I call him to ask if the refund process had even been started. He informed me that he had a death in the family and would get to it the next day. I waited another 7 business days. No refund to my account. I call him once again (this was yesterday) and he states that he's sorry and that "his problems should not be my problems" and that he would refund the money that evening and I would get a confirmation email showing the refund to my account. Well, what do you know....no confirmation email. I text him today, email the company and call him. Nothing in return. I've been more than patient with him regarding this whole ordeal (it has been 18 days since he first said I would be refunded) and now he's being shady and not contacting me at all. I wish I could be able to comment on his airboat tours and not his customer service, but the way he deals with his customers is not okay (especially when he owes them $312.70).read less

    Captain Randy was great - very informative and the breadth of his knowledge regarding the Everglades is massive.

    Did this with a group from my husband's work they set everything up. Left towards the evening so…read morewe were able to catch the sunset which was stunning. A two story boat the cruses to the Jungle island. Drinks on the boat while you can sit or walk around while enjoying the scenery. Beautiful waterfront homes and yachts big ones little one. While your cruising other people wave to you they have a little bit of music playing. I enjoyed standing in the front it was very enjoyable and just loved the sunset Florida has some of the most beautiful sunsets incredible. We arrived at the island and greeted with friendly people where all the entertainment began. We sat down and ate they brought the food bbq to the table brought is drinks during the dinner they had live music that followed outside fire dancers and hula dancing. Then you were able to walk around the island birds a few animals jungle vibe. Than back on the boat for a ride back. Food was chicken which was tender and tasty. Ribs that feel off the bone with extra bbq sauce. Corn bread coleslaw.

    Great way to spend 90 minutes. Cost was reasonable. Boat left exactly at departure time…read more Sights were interesting although most of the trip was taken up with view of famous people's homes. This was expected though since most of these types of boat rides are similar in that respect. One interesting highlight was the trip into Port Canaveral to see some of the cruise ships in port. The tour guide/docent named Mason kept us engaged throughout the trip with his knowledge and an occasional one-liner. All in all a very pleasant afternoon. Highly recommended
