This was a great outfit and experience. The lady (Krista) who answered the phone and booked us was very flexible and accommodating to our request, who is also one of their boat captains. We had Captain John give us the tour and he was amazing. He gave a great tour and very knowledgeable on all of the wildlife and plantlife in the marsh so it was quite informative. The amount of other wildlife and vegetation other than gators was abundant so lots to see. We went on a chilly day and he still managed to find us several alligators. Also, the equipment was well maintained and I can tell they run a very safe operation and appreciated the COVID protocol they had in place. A top notch outfit, highly recommend!

Jay and I had a great time. Captain John and Krista were amazing. They had you laughing the whole time while also having so much amazing information of the wildlife. It was a raining cloudy day but they still found over 10 gaters for us. We got perfect close up pictures. Thank you John and Krista for a wonderful adventure!

John was absolutely amazing on our tour today. We spoke with so many different tour companies, and we are so glad we decided to go to marsh. He kept us all laughing and gave us so much knowledge on all the wildlife. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be coming back and referring all our friends/ family. Thank you John :)

Great job by the fantastic Capt. Krista and Crew (Capt. John)! They do a great job of covering vegetable and animal wildlife including reptilian and aviary. You will not regret getting up early. They also do a good job at bantering back and forth, to male the tour more fun.

This was our first Airboat tour and it was great. Our Captain, Krista was very knowledgeable about all the birds, land , and especially the gators. We saw a lot of everything and Captain Krista also added her own humor to the ride. This trip is great for old and young since the equipment appeared to very sea worthy and SAFE. Thanks again for the great time.Bring some water and sunscreen because you will be in the sun the entire trip. A hat and sunglasses and are also worth bringing.You can book and prepay online. Booking by phone was easy.

This Mainer on my first airboat ride. The Captain was quick to point out many of the native birds and alligators. He also talked about the history of the area. He didnt disappoint as he opened the throttle quite a bit and gave all his passengers a exhilarating ride. Definitely recommended!

Review №24

One of the best tours Ive ever been on. Kenny was our guide and his wife who I spoke to on the phone was so polite and helpful. Kenny was very personable and knowledgeable. He knew the wildlife and history of the area very well. If you visit this area and want to have a blast, book a tour with Marsh Beast Airboat Tours. You will not be disappointed!

Captain John and Christine were great, entertaining and knowledgeable hosts.The tour included just the right mix of wildlife information, historical facts and passenger participation.We saw so many gators, along with countless birds, turtles and other natural inhabitants.The boat was up to date, clean (we saw the captains sanitizing headsets between trips), well maintained and comfortable.Our four children, ranging in age from 10-15, all had a great experience!

Review №27

Outstanding Trip! Perfect balance between exhilaration and appreciation of the environment! This trip is a must. If you want to get up close and personal with Blue Herons, Anhingas, Ospreys, Turtles, and gators young and old, this trip is must! We slowly approached a nest of 5 raptors (Ospreys). We saw a female gator near her nest and the kids had a blast when Kenny opened the boat wide open. Your captain has 25 years + wildlife experience, a great knowledge of the habitat and well versed in the life cycle of the creatures you’ll see. His Southern Hospitality was icing on the cake for an excellent day on the water. If you are looking for the perfect air boat tour, look no further! Repeat trip in 2018 ... If you want to get up close and personal with Floridas back country, this trip is a must! Captain Kenny will give you detailed history on the biology and life cycle of these creatures. If you want to feel like you are in a National Geographic film for a moment, heres your chance!

EXCELLENT TOUR! The experience I had with Marsh Beast Airboat Tours was phenomenal! The boats are clean and very well taken care of. Captain Kenny goes out of his way to make sure that you get every opportunity to see the wildlife in its natural habitat. He even gives the kids an alligator tooth necklace at the end of the tour! I would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks for an amazing trip!

Just had an amazing day with friends and family on The Marsh Beast Airboat Tour !

Our first air boat ride. It was a truly memorable adventure. The guide was very knowledgeable and made a special effort to involve everyone in the trip. One of the best adventures Ive ever enjoyed in my life. Well worth the money. The area on the water was amazingly beautiful. We are going to do more of these trips whenever we visit other parts of Florida with Air Boat Tours. What a great time!

STOP! Look no further! My daughter and I had an AMAZING time with Captain Kenny this past week while visiting friends in Vero Beach. We chose Marsh Beast based on excellent reviews and boy oh boy were past customers right on the money. Captain Kenny was phenomenal! He has a great personality and was very engaging with us and the other passengers on our excursion. We saw, up close and personal, over 50 alligators including mothers to be guarding their nests. In addition to alligators, we enjoyed learning about other indigenous wildlife and flora.5 Stars X 20 = 100% SATISFACTION. It was an adventure worth every penny!

Review №53

Unbelievable experience! Captain Kenny was knowledgeable of all the animals and made the trip fun. I appreciated that he made sure everyone got a good look at the animals no matter which seat. We saw alligators ranging from the babies from the most recent hatch to big ones out in the sun. The other wildlife was cool to see too such as the Ospreys in their nests. There is no feeling like flying over fields of green marsh wondering how this even works. Would recommend to everyone, definitely worth every second.

Very enjoyable tour. We saw all sorts of wildlife from baby alligators to very large adult alligators, many osprey, and an abundance of waterfowl. We witnessed a falcon catch a duck in flight right in front of the boat. The airboat ride itself was worth the money. Very knowledgeable and professional staff. I would highly recommend this outfit to anyone looking for a top notch airboat tour.

This is the greatest experience, and Captain Kenny makes the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Marsh Beast Airboat Tours as a fun outdoor activity that all of your friends and family can enjoy! During this last tour Captain Kenny showed us an alligator nest, and we actually got to see a close up view of the mother alligator in her nest!

Excellent experience!! Captain Kenny gave a great tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the alligators and other wildlife. We saw over 30 alligators, turtles and many bird varieties, even feeding babies in their nests. Capt. Kenny used his alligator call to lure the gators closer to the boat.

Went in February and saw TONS of alligators. The guide was professional and extremely knowledgeable. Not one question went unanswered. The boat was very comfortable and the headsets were great to cancel the noise and allow you to talk to your group with the microphones on them.

Awesome tour & great experience. Well worth the money. My wife and I did the tour yesterday, and John was a fantastic captain. The airboat ride is totally safe. The history of this area is very rich.
