    I didn't know there were two separate companies. I walked in the wrong building to check in. They have a shaded area with games to sit while you wait. The tour was amazing. Fresh air that I didn't know I needed. We came across alligators in the water. Mommy's protecting their eggs. The view was beautiful. 10/10 would highly recommend. Make sure to bring sunglasses and something to drink.

    So glad we decided to do this tour! We are in town from CA and really wanted to see some of the local flora and fauna. The boat was so fun just skating right on top of everything! Captain Austin was funny and informative and we saw a few different gators! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Such an awesome experience! Reservations and check in were easy and smooth; the captain and airboat ride were fun, exciting and educational; saw lots of wildlife including alligators, bald eagles, birds and fish in their natural habitat; and got to hold and take pictures with one of the resident alligators at the end of the tour. Mahalo Wild Willy's for a WILD time!

    Excellent trip on the lake. Experienced captain Brandon was good at finding gators and showing us quieter parts of the lake. Comfortable seats and ear protection added to the trips quality. Boats are easily accessible and not as bumpy as expected. Highly recommended. Would definitely do again! After our ride, Brandon pulled out a small sized gator go us to gold for photos. Great day with my family (grandparents, wife, 2 sons - 16 & 11) all enjoyed it.

    I totally forgot to post this review. We actually went last year May. Booked online, and had a blast! We loved the tour, saw some gators. Not as much as I wanted, but was still super fun. Everyone working there were so nice. My husband was shocked I even held a baby gator. Something I would never do in the past. Well I'm getting older, and life is short, so why not. They have a small gift shop if you want to bring home souvenirs. Make sure you tip your tour guide. All in all it was a relaxing time spending with my honey.

    Our guide was great, saw 2 baby gators. Fun time - guide did recommend going later in the day. July/August to see momma gators and November/December to see big male gators.

    Masterful navigation in the airboat and an eagle eye in search of alligators and other wildlife made this the perfect end to our trip. Choose a warm day if possible since there isn't much by way of protection from the weather as the boat cruises across the lily pads at impressive speeds. They also let us hold a little alligator at the end, which may have been the highlight. All in all a good choice if you want an Everglades experience.

    Boat ride was amazing went on a Saturday morning. Tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Made it a quality tour.

    Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide around the lake, got us a few 'gator sightings. To me the fun was in the ride, all the birds, Lilly pad flowers, and dragon flies were a bonus.

    Those more intimate boats sound good...we're coming in January. Question: We will have 6 adults and one 5-yr-old child...could we all fit on one boat?

    Yes!

    Can a 2.5y/o and 4 y/o do the boat ride? How many people max per boat?

    My 3 year old enjoyed the ride!

    I can honestly say that visiting this place and riding an airboat were among the most enjoyable…read morethings I have done in many years. Wow! My family, friends, and I had such a great time and wish that we could have remained on the airboat much longer. This place is located at the end of a very long road. The drive to the property is very quiet and relaxing. The property itself was well-maintained, everything was clearly marked, and the venue itself was fun. There is a gift shop, a snack shop, a food trailer offering hot food, a beverage hit, clean bathrooms, gold mining, and so much more. The employees went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The real reason why you would visit this place is the airboats. Each guest boards the large boats, which can seat 12-15 people at a time. To the rear of the boat sits this huge fan, which controls the boat. Each guest is required to grab a headset or ear protection, as the boats are noisy and loud, and I mean LOUD once they get going. The purpose of the boats is to have fun, of course, but the objective is to look for alligators as you speed through the swamps. During our visit, we spotted nine alligators, and the boat operator stopped so guests could see and experience them up close. The alligators are never disturbed, and they do not seem to mind being watched. Back to the airboats, these things are FAST! The boat operator will have you going so fast on the water, then pull into a complete 360-degree turn when you least expect it. The first time the boat operator sped away from the dock at the start of the tour, you were a tad nervous, similar to riding a roller coaster. After this initial nervousness, you could not get enough of this airboat and only wanted to go fast on the water. I might add that there was a group seated in front of us with a boy between 8 and 10 years old and a young tween girl, and they appeared to enjoy the airboat ride just as much as we adults. This is definitely a fun place for all ages

However, this ended up being amazing for our whole family. We booked online, and upon arrival we were welcomed into the office to complete waivers and check in. They handed us colored wristbands and had us wait out on the deck. While waiting, we were greeted by another kind couple selling homemade lemonade and treats. The conversation was so welcoming and friendly. We then met our captain/owner, who was so much fun. One of our daughters was nervous and one was excited. He hyped up the excited one while also easing the fears of the nervous one, which meant so much to us as parents. Once we boarded the boat, he went out of his way to make everyone comfortable and explained everything thoroughly. The tour itself was incredible. He went above and beyond showing us not only the lake, but all of God's beautiful creation around it. Beyond the gators, we saw bald eagles and their nests, egrets, so many birds, fish, snails, cows, goats, and so much wildlife. We will 100% be back. Such an amazing experience and so much fun for the entire family. Highly recommend!

    What a wonderful tour!…read more The Orlando Lake Tour offers a relaxing 75-minute journey through the stunning Butler Chain of Lakes. You will cruise past beautiful scenery and impressive multi-million-dollar homes aboard a comfortable pontoon boat with sunshades. Captain Steve is both punctual and friendly. He has a lot of knowledge on the local wildlife, flora, and notable past and present residents of the area. All seats require advance booking by phone, and at just $25 per person - it's incredibly reasonable for everything you will see and learn. Be sure to take pictures! The lakefront homes are gorgeous. I really appreciated that the group size was small as it creates a more intimate setting and makes it easier to engage with Captain Steve and ask questions throughout the tour. 5 stars.
