    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.

    Capt Chad was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable, safe, and hospitable. We saw a variety of water fowl, turtles, and alligators of various sizes ranging from babies to 7 footers! Due to current hunting season pressure, we didn't see any dinosaur sized gators, but the 7 footers were plenty big enough for our visit. The staff in the office/gift store were also very friendly and knowledgeable, and we were even allowed to hold a baby gator. The grounds of Tom & Jerry's are well maintained and park-like with enclosures for tortoises and alligators for your viewing pleasure, as well as several areas for taking family photos and such. There is also an area that was being improved for sluicing pay dirt for buried treasures. The gift shop was well appointed with many affordable items on offer including locally sourced crafts, local honey, T-shirts/apparel,and of course items created from the alligators themselves. The items appeared well crafted and not just junk from China, so we all made several purchases. Capt. Chad and all of the Tom & Jerry's staff made us feel safe and welcome and I highly recommend this establishment for a FUN family outing!
