Wild Willys Airboat Ride

Booked this 4 or 5 months ago online. No money upfront, and asked for a tour with just me my wife and son. Was sent directions via e mail.

Did the trip this morning. Very very easy to find. Onto I4 from I Drive, then exit 77 onto Florida Turnpike South, exiting at 240 onto Kissimmee Park Road. Passed through 1 Sunpass Booth at 240. They send you alternative directions to avoid this Sunpass, but who cares about 4 or 5 dollars! It was a breeze getting here!

Was let on the boat 15 mins. early at 8.45 am by our friendly captain Eddie and we were straight into it. Eddie took us straight to an Alligators nest where we saw a female up close guarding the nest.

Straight onto another area where he showed us another female surrounded by about 12 baby Gators. Again, incredible views.

Next onto a Bald Eagle roosting in a tree and Eddie provided some binoculars for us to use. He then described the resident Fauna to us as well as showing us some of the Birdlife.

Lots of fast runs in the Airboat what made you really feel as if you were in the Everglades.

The pick up point has an area for toilets and refreshments and I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Wild Willys Airboats to anyone! We were out for about an hour.

Excellent review, thank you. We are looking for a "different" company as done the usual "Boggy Creek" one about three times now.

We paid $208 for a private tour for 3 of us. It's slightly cheaper if you don't do a private tour, there would be only 5 people in total on the boat.
