Big Toho Airboat Rides

Just finished our airboat!
Made an appointment with Tom and our captain Joe gave us a tour around tohopekia (something) lake. It was my BF and I first airboat ride and it was amazing!!!
We came from California so seeing things especially alligator not in a cage and in its natural habitat was AWeSOMe!!!
View: amazing natural beauty, only bad thing is you see some human trash here and there… :(wish people stop littering !!!
We saw alligators big one!!! Like 6 feet long ! Not in a cage… It was amazing and scary at the same time. The weather was perfect. We went at 11 am not too hot or cold. The breeze felt amazing /​)
Overall I really enjoy it. If this is your first time, I recommend this adventure, you won’t forget the memories from what you see.
Joe is nice and friendly, it’s hard to hear him though since the airboat is on and a lot of sound
I don’t recommend wearing hat… It might get blow away when on the ride because it goes pretty fast.
Make sure to tip your captain :)
You get to hold and take a picture with an alligator at the end

I’ve been on several airboat rides. This one was almost unbelievable! The website lead me to think this was a reputable business! Wrong! We took family from out of town who have never been on a airboat.
We started wondering when we had to meet the guide at a shell gas station… We then followed for a few miles to a field with old airplanes, going thru a locked gate to a airboat pulled up on the grass. We proceeded on the airboat and had to watch our guide start an argument with another airboat in his ‘territory’. Our guide sped up & stopped fast to not only rock their airboat, but other innocent fishermen. He continued to complain to us the entire ride about other business airboats in his area… This ride on a lake with a swamp in the middle. We seen only 3 alligators! We could not hear him talk when he was trying to tell us about an alligator sighting until he stopped. The other airboats had ear protection with microphones so they could hear and talk to their guide. Airboats are noisy. Our family did enjoy it but we did not. I would recommend you find a reputable company.

Wow… SO fun!!! No joke. We had such a great time… that hour (which I thought would be long) went SO fast.
We took the whole family (to include my wife’s 92 year old grandpa)…he had a blast! What a blessing.
Very nice and professional crew. Safety first… and every maneuver and location was perfectly picked and executed.
We could have been there all night… we got there just before sun down and it really was priceless.
