FAQs
How far in advance should we make our reservations? It is never too soon to make a reservation. For February-April, and July we recommend two weeks at least. During our slower months (August-January) and you are party of 3 or less it is also important to book in advance so that we may meet our minimum passengers to run the tour and match you up with other parties. By all means, feel free to wait until the last minute to book, but please don’t be too disappointed if we are unable to accommodate you.
Can we just drive ourselves, or we don’t want to go on your tour we just want an airboat ride, etc.? These type of questions imply that we are not the tour you are looking for. We suggest you contact the Everglades Chamber of Commerce at 239-695-3941 for area information.
When is a tour canceled? We will cancel a tour if it looks like it will rain heavily all day, thunderstorm, or some other unsafe condition. We are prone to short isolated showers in the summer and often can work around them and accomplish a really fun tour. We may also cancel, although we try not to at all costs , if we don’t have our minimum paying passengers (4 adults for the full day Adventure Tour, 6 adults for the Express Tour) to go (unless you pay for the minimum number to go). This is why it is important if you are a single or couple to book early and provide us with your availability so that we may match you up with other groups. If we cancel a tour for any reason, you will not be charged.
What should we wear and bring? Dress comfortably with comfortable shoes. If it is during our cooler months or you get chilled easy, bring a layer for the airboat ride. Bring bottled water, snacks, sunscreen, and a camera. We supply bug repellent and ear protection.
