Our team had the opportunity to take an office field trip with Tom & Jerry's Airboat Ride, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience! Despite the hot day, the beautiful scenery and refreshing breeze on the water made it enjoyable from start to finish. The captain was not only extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystem but also friendly and engaging throughout the ride. He made sure everyone felt safe, informed, and entertained. It was a great way to step away from the office, relax, and experience Florida’s natural beauty. Highly recommended for team outings, visitors, or anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure!
Captain Chad was great!! He provided us with a great background of the area and explained to us the current conditions for the alligators. He knows the Lake really well and areas where the gators typically hangout. He explained much about the habitat. Chad pointed out birds, turtles, and plants that are special to the area. It was not only educational but fun. We saw baby and teenager gators. Office staff was also pleasant and helpful.
Fantastic experience! Our first airboat ride ever and not the last! Did it August 11,2025. We had Captain Chad, great guy. Learned a lot on the tour, saw some gators, birds, turtles, a snake, etc. Cool ride through the jungle like back channels of the lake, gives an authentic feel to a jungle adventure. Then we blasted off for a bit out onto the lake itself. Apparently this lake is only 4 feet at its deepest, most of what we saw was shallow, with big birds standing in the waters. Yes the airboat is loud, but they give you ear protection to use. I would say yes, wear them. Our middle child’s hat flew off during one of the fast parts, and Chad quickly turned around so we could retrieve it from the water, no gators nearby lol! After the boat ride, we got to hold a gator for free and take pics, something an “unnamed mini golf place” in Kissimmee charges you outrageous fees to do. They have a few gators to look at up close in their pen too. And gator jerky! This place was about an hour from our stay in Davenport and it was a great scenic ride along county roads too. We booked a 3 pm ride, but made good time driving there and showed up at 2:10pm they said since nobody booked the 2pm ride, you’re going early and staying longer! So we will definitely be back some day!
What a fantastic experience! The captain of the boat was very knowledgeable and fun ! We got to see gators, turtles, snakes and birds. We showed up extremely early and they fit us in on an earlier boat!that was awesome 🤩 everyone in the welcome center was lovely! Do go for gator afterwards it really made the experience extra special! Your captain knows exactly where to go for that and he had lots of suggestions for things to do in the area .
We had Captain Dexter and he was wonderful. He gave us a ride on the air boat I will never forget. We were the fastest thing on the water. He stopped and pointed out birds and gators . Explained to us about the Cyprus trees and that the ...
We were looking for a fun activity to do while my parents were down visiting from PA, and Tom and Jerry’s didn’t disappoint. Captain Dexter was extremely knowledgeable about the lake and all its inhabitants, had a great sense of humor, and gave my 8 year old son a special gift on our way out. The staff were all super friendly and helpful as well. We’ll recommend Tom and Jerry’s and specifically Captain Dexter to anyone…it was a wonderful experience.
First time on an air boat and Chad did not disappoint. Saw so many birds, turtles, and three large gators. Our captain Chad was so knowledgeable of the wildlife and an expert with the boat, which made the experience even better.
Our tour was great! We went around 10 am and saw various wildlife including, 3 baby alligators, 2 good sized ones, 2 turtles, 1 water moccasin, and many types of birds. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. My kids especially enjoyed holding a baby alligator in the office following our tour!
