    This Airboat tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We saw alligators, wild pigs, eagles and so much more. Captain Mark was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. This tour was everything we hoped for and more. We also felt very safe. Highly recommend this company. So much fun!!

    What a fun morning this was! Would totally recommend. You get to fly over the water on a ride like no other, then get to learn a little about the ecosystem and along the way spot some gators. Beautiful and fun for the family!

    We had a really cool experience! Totally worth checking out if this is your speed. We saw serval gators, learned about other animals, and the water ways.

    I was super impressed with the airboat trip from Airboat Adventures. We were originally trying to book a night tour, however with COVID and tropical storms it was unavailable. Instead we were offered a private eco-tour. We saw several types of plants, birds, and several alligators too. I loved the narrative from our airboat captain and all the information he had to offer. What I found especially unique was their efforts to preserve and restore the delta, he shared with us how he collects and deposits cypress seeds to encourage continued growth and preservation of the habitat, very impressive. I highly recommend booking a tour with them!

    Having fun on our airboat ride!

    The owner was great working with us since we were on a day by day schedule due to our sons Navy schedule with my husband calling off and on to get availability. We wanted to go on the one hour tour in the afternoon but he was honest with us and recommended the 1/2 hour since the afternoons were starting to get hotter and less wildlife to see. We really appreciated this since he easily could not have mentioned it. However, we did see several ducks, birds and even a quick glance at some alligators before they dove into the water. My family of 5 really enjoyed it. His boat was nice, easy location to get to and the best part it was right next to the Bluegill restaurant where we ate a great lunch right afterwards. We would do this again!!

    Loved, Loved Airboat Adventures, Mark was super awesome. Fun and educational for our boys (age 4 up to 12) We called the other place several times and was told it was to windy to go out. Mark got us on the boat the next day. Highly recommended!

    The tour was interesting and the guides were humorous and kind. The boat was a piece of crap. It is…read morea large pontoon with a plywood roof and rows of inward-facing hard bench seats. What is the point of a tour when the seats face inward? Why is there no padding? It would be more comfortable to drive a Mexican school bus along the causeway. Not great for 90 minutes and I can only imagine how trying it is for three hours. No way I could go back unless they change the seats. Absolutely must have some semblance of padding and backrests, and face forward or outward.

    It's my anniversary weekend so I booked us a couple of spots on the Delta Explorer as a surprise…read moreadventure for my hubby. He's a huge history buff and they were doing the Civil War cruise today. We boarded the large pontoon at Blakeley State Park and set off down the Tensaw River, then doubled back down the Apalachee and Blakeley Rivers, for an hour and a half trip led by Captain Steve, and two very knowledgeable Blakeley Park Rangers, Mike and Brian. Along the way, we learned about the forts that were built to protect Mobile as we passed the sights of major battles of Fort Blakeley and saw where Forts Tracy and Huger once stood. We could see the remnants of the walls of Fort Huger, which was built on a mound in the marshes near where the Blakeley River flows into Mobile Bay. The sight of Spanish Fort was not preserved and now has a subdivision built where it once stood. On the two screens on the boat, they displayed a power point presentation featuring the Union Generals and their troops, the maps of the battles, and the underwater torpedos. We also learned about the extensive research on these lesser known, nonetheless, important battles of the Civil War, as they led to the fall of Mobile on April 12, 1865. While aboard, we watched and eagle chase an osprey, a flock of pelicans, and another lone pelican that decided to give us an up close and personal look at him, as if he were a plant by the Explorer crew to remind us that they also host a birding cruise. In addition to the Civil War cruise and birding cruise, they host a sunset cruise, port of Mobile cruise, an adventure cruise, a luncheon cruise, and a Bottle Creek Mound cruise. The pontoon is equipped with a restroom, more than enough life jackets for everyone on board, and the boat and Captain meet the Coast Guard requirements. We were in good hands. We only paid $27 per person and it was well worth it. The cruise was so fun and relaxing, we're already taking about taking the port cruise, sunset cruise and the Bottle Creek Mound cruise. The cruises are set up through Blakeley State Park, and they post information about them on their Facebook page and website if you're interested in going on a boating adventure.

    We have been on a variety of dolphin tours in various places along the Gulf of Mexico and the…read moreAtlantic Ocean, but NONE of them compares to this one!! We did the 1.5 to 2 hour Sunset Dolphin Cruise and had an absolute blast!! It was unbelievable how many dolphins we saw out in the bay! Five of them even swam with the boat when we were heading back!! We saw three jump out of the water and flip in the air! It was honestly like we were watching a movie instead of seeing it in real-life!! The sunset over the water was gorgeous as well!! I simply can't say enough about this cruise!! I very, very highly recommend!!! **Tips** ~ Reserve your spot online on their website to be sure the cruise/tour you are wanting to take doesn't fill up. ~ Bring some cash or your credit/debit card as there is an onboard snack bar. ~ There is a bathroom onboard, but it's similar to a porta-toilet, so you might want to make sure you use the restroom before boarding. ~ There is a Coast Guard-certified lady who shows everyone how to put on, fasten, tighten, and take off the life vests, as well as telling everyone where they are located onboard, if needed. Not every dolphin tour has life vests (we have taken a couple in the past that didn't), so this is important and just another positive about this company!

We went upstairs to have dinner at Shaggy's and that was even more disappointing. Skies cleared and it was obvious that the private boat was more important .
