My wife and I and four adults took a airboat tour from Randy and I think everybody was smiling for two days it was such a thrill. We got to learn about the Everglades some of the wildlife and had a very enjoyable airboat ride. Thanks 5 stars all the way
The ride was okay but it got me very wet I was soaked when I came off it I liked the ride I would go there again

Went this morning with Captain Randy – it was amazing. Had the best time and got to see the real Everglades – not just the 2 mile loop the place we went with last year did. Saw gators and all types of birds, and several camps set back in. Captain Randy is very knowledgeable about the area, and is a fantastic guide. Do yourself a favor and go with Ride the Wind – you won’t regret it!

Capt. Randy is by far the best in the business! I researched several companies before choosing to do business with randy. I took my 2 sons on vacation(ages 9&6) and took a 2 hour ride. If you’re considering booking an airboat adventure….. BOOK WITH CAPTAIN RANDY!
DO NOT…. waste your money or time with the other companies out there.
Captain randy is also the only “TRUE certified CAPTAIN” out there. Other companies advertise they are captains but are not!!

Our whole family had a beautiful day with Randy and all pets in the everglades. They were two beautiful hours we would like to repeat soon. Children 12, 10 and 7 passed so happy

Did a two hour tour with Captain Randy on a Sunday morning in July 2015. He called the day before to confirm and to give directions and I didn’t have any trouble finding the boat ramp. When I arrived, Randy was there and ready to go with his boat. He provides over-the-ear hearing protection, but if I had to do it again I think I would put foam ear plugs underneath (just because you can’t be too careful). It was a hot day and I was glad I wore a hat, sunglasses, and synthetic clothing. Randy had cold water on the boat, which was nice.
The tour itself was great. Just riding on the boat was really fun and I stopped counting how many alligators we saw when I reached 40. Randy has been operating in this area for decades and is very involved in the local community, so really has a depth of knowledge about the Everglades and their importance in the local economy and ecology. We saw fascinating over-water ‘camps’ and heard really interesting stories about the history of the area. It was a fantastic way to spend the morning. Very highly recommended.
