Amazing fun! Such a fantastic experience going fast across the lake and then taking it easy around the canal. Take a change of clothes as you will get wet- especially if it’s windy! Captain Todd was awesome and made the trip even more fun

This was a lot of fun. You will get wet, so bring a change of clothes for when you’re done. They take you out in groups of 5 to 6 boats across the lake and also into Dora Canal. My favorite part was the canal. Wade was our guide and he was very informative.

Somewhere deep in the moss-draped backwaters of Florida, where the cypress knees stick up like crooked old fingers and the air smells faintly of mud and adventure, lives a man known only as Catboat Todd. If you see a little boat gliding through the swamp with a man in a cowboy hat, arms spread wide like swamp Tarzan, birds flying overhead and bubbles floating through the air… you’ve just encountered the legend. Todd guides you through winding channels of birds, turtles, and gators like a man who’s memorized every inch of the swamp. One minute he’s pointing out wildlife like a true man of nature, the next he’s blowing bubbles across the water, starting water-gun battles, and firing off the corniest dad jokes you’ve ever heard. At one point he pointed at a gator and said, “See that one over there? That’s Gary.” Everyone leaned in. “Gary owes me twenty bucks.” You never quite know what you’re going to get with Catboat Todd — wildlife, bubbles, dad jokes, or possibly help if you’re looking to get a swamp divorce. If you want a swamp tour that feels like part nature adventure, part comedy show, and completely unforgettable, take Catboat Todd’s tour. 🐊🚤 Todd for president!!!!
