Good tour with Tyler. Informative. For the price, I would advise that you pay close attention to the time of year and outside temperatures. Gators and other wildlife are more readily seen in warmer temps. read more

Amazing tour. They work hard so that you enjoy the tour. Saw snakes, alligators, birds and lots of turtles. The boat ride was smooth and fun. Thanks for the great time/ read more

We had an amazing time on the airboat tour. Becca was our captain and she was very knowledgeable and had a great eye for spotting snakes, turtles, and juvenile alligators. Becca told some jokes and all around had a wonderful personality!!! I recommend this tour. read more

Great way to spend some time on the water and seeing some beautiful waterways! The narration on headset was great and the tour guide was awesome! read more

We had a day in Jacksonville and wanted to do something we don't get to do in land locked Colorado. An air boat tour sounded fun....and it was! Our captain was very knowledgable. We saw dolphins in the bay, went past the naval base, did donuts in front of a passing naval carrier then went through the everglades. Saw herons and egrets which were really cool. No gators as it was a little cold for them today, but we had so much fun. Totally worth the $50 per person. Captain gave us a brief history of the area and pointed out relevant things like where the coastguard is, what they do, shrimp trawlers, great restaurants, ferry information etc. Loved our 90 minute ride. read more

We took the airboat ride on Sunday 5/28 and what a fun experience. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about the areas we were going through. It was a perfect morning...so if you are in the area make sure you book your tour ahead of time. All the guides are good ...but you can ask for ours ...Captain Fernando. He was awesome! read more

This is a well organized, entertaining and educational tour. I agree with the other reviewers that Mike is a great guide. The perfect blend of funny and smart. We went on a freezing cold rain drenched day and while it was fun it certainly was miserable. It would be helpful if they had tarps or additional rain gear for their guests. We had rain coats which proved useless. I would recommend this tour but on a dry day! read more

Great tour! Fun, scenic, informative. Sea Serpent was a very professional operator. Our captain, Fernando, really made this tour fantastic through his skills and knowledge. Highly recommend this trip and company. read more

Had a great time and really enjoyed Rebecca telling us about the history of the area and educating us on gators and manatees. Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

So much more than we expected ! Captain Mike is the best guide we've ever had on ANY tour ! He makes the entire 1.5hrs enjoyable, exciting, and so fun ! It was a great combination of high speed riding on the big (St. John)River , slowing down some to spot wildlife and listening to GREAT music intermittently in our headphones which was PERFECTLY chosen to go with whatever we were experiencing at the time! From rock to country, it was perfectly choreographed with the tour! Mike knows so much about the area and once we went off to the smaller creeks and such for the slow part, he gave us SO much great information about the area, it's history, the animals and the fauna ! Who knew white cypress trees were so valuable ?! Not us ! It's always great when someone can be informative and FUNNY at the same time and Captain Mike is the best at it ! Did you know gator's genders aren't determined until after the eggs incubate ? Fascinating stuff :) We only had one short day in St. Augustine and we are SUPER happy we chose to spend part of it with Mike on the river! DO IT ! You will love it too !! (if we ever make it back to the area from California, we would do it again for sure !!!!) read more

We loved Capt Fernando. He was clear in his narration and very friendly. Happy to take pictures and comical.

This tour was so much fun. When I first saw that it was a headphone guided tour, I was not excited but I think that was one of my favorite parts. You didn't need to strain to hear the tour guide, and our guide was very entertaining and willing to stop to go in closer to look at the alligator we saw. Very nice customer service, and the boat seats were very comfortable. read more

What an awesome tour. Saint Augustine never ceases to amaze me. There are so many sites to see and this to do and the people who live here truely love it. Captain Mike and his family were incredibly nice. Mike has great knowledge of the area and really loves what he's doing. He brought us right up close to the areas we wanted to see plus the ride was super fun. We caught the sunset on our 4:15 tour and he waited for all of us to get our pictures and just breathe it in. This is definitely a tour I'd take again and again! read more

This tour was outstanding. We had great weather in February, so that didn't hurt either. Captain Justin was great. The music was a perfect addition along with the "tales". Saw lots of wildlife and had fun zipping around the river. Would definitely take this tour again. Highly recommend. read more

Loved Captain Mike's jokes and knowledge of the river. It was such a hot day but being on an air boat not you wouldn't even have noticed, free air conditioning! Ask for the grey gator version. read more

The airboat tour was amazing, but Mike made the experience awesome! The combination of high speed, high power airboating with the amazing back Creek nature guide was phenomenal. I can't recommend this any more highly. My 10 yo nephew couldn't stop grinning. Mike is one of the nicest, most knowledgeable tour guides I have ever had the opportunity to meet. read more

We had a great time today with Captain Rebecca and first mate Fernando. We have never done an air boat ride before and we are so glad we did. Crazy Fish thank you. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to do an air boat ride in Jacksonville. read more

Took my grandkids on the airboat tour and we had so much fun plus learned a little more history about the area we live in.

We had a blast! It was well worth the price as an excellent nature and boating experience unlike any other. The Capitan is very knowledgeable and loves leading these tours and the music choices help make the experience. I would definitely recommend Sea Serpent Tours! read more

Captain Mike and his family truly are class act, what a great experience! Mike sure does know the area and provided MANY opportunities for everyone to capture the wildlife in their natural habitat. Head down and meet them onsite so they can hook you up with a great deal and you will be welcomed like you were long lost friends!! Highly recommended... read more

My family and I were planning to do an airboat ride but it had gone wrong the moment we booked with Crazy Fish. You'll only get crazy here! The google business listing that you call to get info from has the WRONG ADDRESS. When I called the owner from SAID GOOGLE BUSINESS LISTING he told me I was at the wrong address...with family in tow. With a pompous attitude he then proceeded to tell me no refunds available. HORRIBLE customer service with an attitude as if is happens all the time. Bait and switch: BUYER BEWARE!! read more

We rented double kayaks for an hour. Captain Mike gave us directions and advised us on what to look for. The weather and waters were perfect. We would definitely come back to kayak here since the waters were nice and calm in this area. Captain Mike even pulled out a treasure chest and the kids picked out pirate necklaces - that was a pleasant surprise read more

What a great tour with the Sea Serpents! My family really enjoyed the music played on the air boats and we saw a number of alligators...big and small. The swamp was unexpectedly pretty and we did not get eaten up with bugs.They also made a great recommendation on a place for dinner...great vacation tour for a family that included 10 & 12 year old girls! read more

Great tour. A lot of fun. Captain Tyler was great. One of the top things we did on our vacation.

I bought a gift certificate for an airboat ride for my girlfriend's birthday. I bought the gift certificate in March, but we have been busy, and we were finally able to do the tour at the end of July. What an amazing ride/informational/tour! Captain Mike is friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable when it comes to EVERYTHING in (and around) the waters he takes tours through. We were fortunate enough to have the whole boat to ourselves (since it was a week day), and we had a blast! From the knowledge of the aquatic life, to running the boat wide open.. he made it an amazing day and an awesome birthday present for my girl! Thank you Captain Mike! Wooooooo read more

SCAM!!! I would select zero stars if I could!! The address is not where the boat ride leaves from so we missed the boat and owner refused to provide a refund. He was very casual with his response telling us it happens all the time. What a loser!! Don't waste your money. SCAM!!! read more

Super fun and informative tour along the St. John's river and tributaries. Eagles, osprey, gator and turtles galore... just to name some of the wildlife we saw. Delightful!! Yay and thank you to Captain Mike and his crew! read more

Very disappointing. I paid nearly $300 for my family of 4. Their website and you tube video is very deceiving. It was so boring. They said we see dolphins... we finally saw the dolphins and they slowed down for 2 mins and then kept going. We saw no other wildlife. Didn't do any fun spins on the boat. They slowed down and jabbered on for like 15 mins looking at nothing. My kids and I were so bored. They also expected a 20% tip. Maybe had they not sped past the dolphins they would have gotten one. Don't waste your money!! read more

We rented two single kayaks and went out on Trout Creek. They got us set up and in the water quickly. Very fun and relaxing time. Highly recommend. read more

Our Google maps sent us to the wrong address and we missed our reservation. When I called to ask to change the reservation they straight up refused. They said we could do stand by in the next outing but no guarantee of going out. They were however happy to take our money and refuse to refund it. He was extremely rude. I would not recommend. BTW this is also known as Sea Serpent. They are a rip off!! read more

6/6/2018 Just took an airboat ride with my wife and her friend. WOW!! Great tour!!! Captain Mike does it all, from flying across the water at 100 mph to a nice slow ride into the backwaters to see the flora and fauna. The Captain is very knowledgeable about the wildlife encountered as well as the different plants and trees. On just this trip we saw osprey, cottonmouth, alligators and a manatee, along with dozens of different birds. Awesome trip and highly recommended! We will definitely be coming back for more! Thank you Sea Serpent Tours!!! A+ read more

Captain Rebecca is cool. The boat had an issue but she stayed upbeat and after a short wait we got off, to a great trip. The 11 year olds LOVED this boat ride. The music was a nice touch and we learned some new things. Worth it. read more

Very disappointed with management/ownership. Yes, their website states the "rules" are very stringent. However, if you're not familiar with the area, they don't care. We were on course to be early, only to find our GPS took us to a ferry. We weren't expecting that. We missed the ferry by one vehicle, not time. So, we had to high tail it the long way around. Now we wouldn't be the 1/2 hour early that they requested. When we get to the marina, we have 3 minutes until our scheduled tour. They don't have any signs. I called them using the hands free in my Jeep. They don't answer. So I continue driving around the marina lot. They text me to ask how they can help. I have to pull over & respond. They don't answer the text right away. I text again. Nothing. I call them again & again they don't answer. Finally, after we've missed our tour time, they text that the info is in the confirmation email. I didn't have access to this email as I was trying to find them, that's why I called them. When I was able to access that email, yes, all of the info was there. Park at the public boat ramp & enter the back of the marina. Again, there were no signs at the boat ramp or at the marina for this business. I bought their cancellation insurance, but that did me no good in this case. You have to send them an email notifying them of cancellation up to the time of your tour. That's hard to do when you're driving around trying to find them & they won't pick up the phone when you call. Yes, I was late, but wouldn't have been if they would answer their phone! This was all explained to them, but they've chosen to ignore it. So, I've basically paid them $190 for nothing. Typical of what's wrong with our country today. They got paid for doing absolutely nothing. I will never use this business again. If you do, be careful & don't expect any help from them. read more
