Corey Billie’s Airboat Rides

My wife and I went on our first airboat and gator tour here, and it was fantastic! If you have never experienced anything like this I would highly recommend it. Yes we only happened to see 1 gator out and about at the time, but that’s nature. Honestly, I had a thrill just being on the boat skiddin’ around and having fun and thought that was worth the price of $ 40 per person. We did tip a few bucks at the end, because someone of the skill and knowledge that led us on the boat deserved it. In addition to the tour, there is a great photo opportunity to hold a gator at the end.

We had a blast here! The boat driver was very knowledgable and made the whole experience super fun. It was a great time getting to pet and hold the baby alligators too. We would recommend coming here for a true Florida experience.

Had a blast! We chose this tour over the one’s that our Hotel Concierge had suggested because of their online reviews and they did not disappoint. Everyone was friendly and patient, holding the baby gators was a definite plus for our kids. The airboat ride was great, saw a couple gators and Denis’s humor was a bonus.
Would highly recommend!

HAD SOOOOO MUCH FUN this morning on our airboat ride. Saw a lot of gators that swam right up to the boat. Our captain was fantastic and knowledgable. The boats go pretty fast and careen in and out of narrow passes in the everglades. Ear protection is provided. The only troubling thing was that our boat broke down and we had to wait about 30 minutes or more for another airboat to come get us. We still had a blast and we will be returning again for more fun!

My husband and I stopped by today between our Fedex loads. We loved the gator guy and the boat tour. We got some great pictures and memories.
The older lady in the gift shop isn’t the friendliest though.

Great experience. I loved the ride and the tour. Our driver and tour guide knew the alligators like the back of his hand, and he should, since he had them eating out of it. I’ve never had so much fun while also feeling so frightened. These boats are cruising very fast, careening on edge through mangroves with precise steering by our driver. Some of the alligators are enormous, like Jackson, who rammed out boat with his nose until fed. I would pay the entrance fee again to take this trip a second time.

Group of six guys down for a wedding, golf courses rained out, next best thing was Corey Billies. We had a great time, our captain/​guide was funny, entertaining and informative. Highly recommend.

So So so fun! Great guide and opportunity to check out the Everglades. We were a group of 7 with three kids and we’re all delighted. We Got a little education on the gators and the mangrove trees. But really, mostly, it was a super fun ride. Check out the little gators next to the shop afterwards so you can hold and pet them.

Woooo!!! A fun airboat ride. Some slipping and sliding around and some gator spottin’. And they know Chuck Fergus. Five stars.

An essential way to spend an hour with the family when visiting this part of the world. We saw a lot of wildlife with up close. Nice to be so close to alligators and whizzing through the Everglades was great fun. The guide was very nice and very good at explaining the wildlife.

Dennis is the best tour guide. Request him! We had an awesome time and saw a ton of gators! It’s not very far from Naples. Fun thing to do on a nice day.

Captain Denis rocked. Good guy. Saw tons of gators, fed them marshmellows… pretty sweet.

Well after looking at all reviews of the «other» airboat rides we chose these guys.
One main reason it’s on private land. Just two boats running today. Did not have «Disneyland» feel to it like the other reviewers said about the ones in Everglade city.
Our daughter was able to a baby alligator named JJ.
Do this this one.
No coupons unless ur military.

My kids loved it! Tour guide was excellent. Ride was not too short not too long, saw several gators and they came right up to the boat! The boat ride itself was fun too, great feeling floating along. Short drive from Naples or Bonita.

So much fun! This is a must! Our guide was informative & funny. It was a once in a lifetime experience. You get so close to the alligators & the boat ride itself is so much fun. In the end you get to hold a baby alligator. They are so smooth! Watch out for Rusty!

Wonderful experience. Our fan boat captain was Dan and he was informative, funny and a lot of fun. The mangrove swamp was a little low on water, but Dan skillfully maneuvered our boat around. Our kids age 7 to 15 all very much enjoyed the ride equally.
Bring cash to tip the captain. :-)

Had a fantastic time here with family and friends. Small operation and really focused on the customer. Old Florida — a must see while in town.

I have now been to two different airboat tours in Florida and this one by far was the best!
Our captain was Captain Liebo and he was awesome. Very knowledgeable and great sense of humor!
We saw a couple of alligators and I couldn’t believe how close we were.
We found out about this place because of all the ratings and great reviews. I couldn’t resist adding mine.
Highly recommended!

Best airboat ride/​tour in Florida! The whole tour was an adventure! Captain Dennis was witty and knowledgeable about the gators. We saw 4 gators on this tour whom came very close to the boat! So neat! If seeing wild gators and a fun ride through the mangroves weren’t enough, we got to hold a baby alligator!
I would highly recommend Corey Billies Airboat Tours!

First, I used Unilocal to select one of the 10+ airboat companies near Naples. I chose Corey Billie’s after comparing all the outfitters and it turned out to be just as the reviewers had graded. Our driver, Lee Bo was frienfly, funny and informative. Our ride through the Swamp was exciting, fast speed when appropriate, slow at times to see the wildlife and full stop to see a 10 foot alligator swim up beside our boat. We had time to take many photos.
The office staff who handled the ticket sales were friendly and helpful. Prior to our ride, we enjoyed the chance to hold a small alligator which was a big deal to the kids.
If you are driving from Naples, save yourself some time and stop at Corey Billie’s rather than drive all the way to Everglade City. Take time to use Unilocal to list all the airboat outfits and read the reviews. Corey Billie’s owns their Swampland and you will not have other airboat zooming around you as happens with other locations. Google «airboat rides» around Naples and see other sources of reviews beyond Unilocal.You will have a hard time finding anyone with better ratings than Corey Billie’s.
