    Tom and Jerry's consistently delivers memorable airboat experiences thanks to their exceptional captain lineup. Guests rave about captains like Dexter, Monte, Chad, and Brent, who blend humor with genuine expertise about local wildlife, plants, and the ecosystem. You'll spot plenty of alligators (both babies and adults), turtles, and birds while learning fascinating facts that make the tour educational without feeling like a lecture. The captains clearly love what they do, and it shows in how they work to position the boat for perfect photo opportunities. Beyond the ride itself, the facility offers nice extras that families appreciate. While you wait, there are activities like cornhole and horseshoes, plus giant tortoises roaming around and opportunities to hold a baby gator in the shop. The staff both on and off the water get consistent praise for being friendly and patient, especially with kids. Recent visitors mention noticeable improvements to the facility, and several say this was a highlight of their entire trip. The tours strike a good balance between thrilling speed and approachable nature viewing that works for all ages.

    Loved Captain Dexter, saw a incredible amount of wildlife. He is very well knowledgeable about both entertainment and educational components of the lake, wildlife and history of the swamp area. Highly recommend, book as soon as you book your flights to Tampa for your family vacation.
