We took our three teenage grandchildren on the airboat tour and we all had a wonderful time. The scenery was beautiful and as we slowly navigated down two creeks we saw turtles sunning themselves and alligators basking in the sun. Our captain, Justin, took the time to slow the boat and go close to shore so we could see the wildlife. The ride was smooth and the headphones gave a fun narration of the area as well as blocking the noise ot the boat. Our day was sunny and warm but I think any weather would bring our the wildlife and still be enjoyable.

Tylers last tour with Sea Serpent Tours before he takes a new job in Key West was excellent. Tyler was full of useful information, and showed us the many forms of wildlife in the Six Mile estuary. We saw many alligators, turtles, herons, and two osprey mating. Overall a very enjoyable tour.
