Camp Holly Airboat Rides

What a great time.. 45 minute ride in the Florida Everglades. A lot of wild life. Tour guide was very informative as he grew up in the area.. well worth the 30 dollars. Kids are cheaper.

This airboat ride was so fun! Before our tour, we were able to check out the gift shop and have drinks at an outdoor bar (they are working on their restaurant as well). You are allowed to bring your drinks on the airboat, so that was nice. We saw a ton of gators (even baby ones!) and all kinds of birds. Captain Earl was great with a good sense of humor and stopped or slowed the boat so we could get pictures. We would definitely go here again.

My sister and I went and had a blast! We did have a bit of a wait because it’s first come, first served but we sat at their picnic table area, ate lunch and visited. They had a bar and restaurant on the grounds. Our airboat ride was so informative and we drove through beautiful scenery on the lake and river. We spotted three gators and a gator nest. Our captain, Tony, made the ride so enjoyable! I would do it again tomorrow!

We thought this attraction was overpriced and underwhelming. Except for the Captain showing us he could do some doughnuts in the river, we saw very little wildlife on our tour. We have been on other rides in Florida and all were much better than this one. Tim

We waited about an hour for the captain. He never told us his name nor did we learn much about the environment. He was able to round up a few gators that were cooling off down deep. He made it clear that he didn’t want to go out on the boat with only 4 people. The bar and bartender were nice and it looked like people were enjoying their food from the grill.

I had visitors in from out if town and they wanted to take a "fan boat" ride, as they called it. We went to Camp Holly because it was close to Melbourne. The place was beautiful and spotless. The buildings and grounds were perfect. We took a short airboat ride, maybe 30- 40 minutes. The guide was polite and knowledgeable, taking us to two nests where mama gators guarded their nests. The eggs had hatched at the second one so mama gator was a little more aggressive. It was a nice day, but hot so we didn't see any other wildlife aside from an occasional bird. Still a nice experience.

I loved Captain Curt and his enthusiasm. He was so lively and showed me and my family a wonderful time. The Air boat ride was amazing,we saw so many alligators . They we so beautiful. Lastly the food was amazing. The inside of the restaurant and so cool . I've never so the bread of the Grilled cheese so big and and Gator bites so phenomenal. The air boat was a boat load of fun.

I always wanted to go on an airboat from the time I was a kid. I'm from New Hampshire and we do not have air boats in this part of the country, nor do we have gators. It was educational to see gators in their natural habitat, plus, the boat ride was quite a thrill. I would recommend an airboat ride to anyone who's visiting the area. A big thank you to Captain Curt for an awesome experience.

We had an awesome time on the Airboat ride. Captain David was very informative and stopped several times to point out landmarks, gators, birds etc. Camp Holly itself has been renovated and looked brand new. It was clean with a great atmosphere. Clean restaurant, restrooms, bar area and outside area with cornhole and other photo ops to keep you entertained if you have to wait for the next ride.

Waited nearly 3 hours for our ride. I have no idea why they don’t have a reservation system! Our captain (who never even bothered to tell us his name), barely said 2 words to us the entire time, so unlike other airboat rides we learned nothing about the area or the wildlife. We saw about 4 gators, but overall I would not recommend this place at all. It was a very disappointing experience after such a long wait. Last year we rode with Airboat Rides Melbourne and it was a million times better - reservation system so there was no wait and our guide taught us so much about gators and the area. Don’t waste your money here.
