Airboat Rides at MIDWAY delivers consistently excellent wildlife experiences with captains who know how to entertain and educate. Guests regularly spot alligators (often 20+ per trip), bald eagles, snakes, and various birds while learning about the river ecosystem and local history. The captains get plenty of shout-outs by name—Ken, Alex, Sammy, Sam, and Tony all receive praise for being knowledgeable, funny, and making guests feel safe throughout the rides. What stands out is how many visitors return trip after trip, even making it a tradition whenever they have out-of-town guests. The tours offer good value with one-hour options that pack in plenty of wildlife viewing, and many guests mention getting to hold a baby gator as part of the experience. The operation runs on time and creates memorable adventures for both first-timers and seasoned airboat riders. It's the kind of authentic Florida activity that lives up to expectations and keeps people coming back.
Our family of four had so much fun on this tour of the St. John’s River and wetlands! The landscape was so beautiful and we enjoyed getting to see all the wildlife and learn more about this area. Our tour guide, Anne was amazing and so much fun! Our kids loved holding the alligator at the end as well. If you’re thinking about taking this tour, definitely add it to your itinerary! We’d definitely go again! Thank you Midway!
