A Wild Ride with Captain Brent at Tom & Jerry’s Airboat Rides
Captain Brent was a hoot! If you’re looking for laughs, gators, and good old Florida swamp knowledge, he’s your guy. One recent guest raved about their adventure, calling it an unforgettable blend of education, exploration, and entertainment.
Gator Spotting with a Side of Humor
The tour kicked off with high-speed excitement across the waters of Lake Panasoffkee, where Captain Brent guided the airboat through winding channels and cypress groves—all while cracking jokes and keeping everyone engaged. The mission? Find as many alligators as possible—and they did just that.
Nature Lessons You Didn’t Know You Needed
Beyond the thrills, Captain Brent sprinkled in fascinating bits of local history and wildlife education. Did you know Native Americans used certain cypress trees to mark pathways to other bodies of water? Neither did we—until Brent brought it to life like a swamp scholar on wheels.
Meet the Birds: Snake Birds & Cow Birds
It wasn’t just about the gators. Guests learned how to identify snake birds, also known as anhingas, for their eerie, snakelike necks peeking out of the water. And yes—cow birds made an appearance too, rounding out a wildlife checklist that could impress any nature lover.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
When someone says, “I’d recommend this place!” with that much excitement, you know it’s the real deal. Whether it’s your first airboat ride or your tenth, the combo of wildlife, scenery, and Captain Brent’s one-of-a-kind charm makes Tom & Jerry’s a must-do Florida experience.
