While Speedy Johnson's airboat tour went primarily through beautiful mangrove swamps, and grasslands to a lesser extent; and while the scenery and wildlife were great, I was dissappointed that our driver made it end before it should have. The trip was advertized to take an hour, but we zipped through it in 45 minutes, and his canned speeches at his designated stops were brief and and impersonel. Don't misunderstand me. I liked the speed when we were traveling. But when we stop to enjoy the solitude and beauty of the everglades, we should linger a little longer. I feel that we should have gotten a partial refund because we returned early. Make sure that your driver knows that you understand the trip will last an hour.
Pros: Good scenery and wildlife. Fun, fast ride
Cons: Some drivers may not be knowledgeable and they may not live up to the advertized tour length.
