Ozello Boats - Airboat Tours - Crystal River, Florida

Amazing experience, we will be back! Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. We saw dolphins feeding, playing in the wake of the boat, jumping waves, and interacting with us! The bird life was vast and beautiful. We saw sponges on the sea floor, fish, and gorgeous plant life. The canals of Ozello were so interesting and the people were kind. We loved every minute!

We had a great ride on the extended tour. It was cool and overcast, but we had a great time. We saw lots of birds, and enjoyed the dolphins. Our captain was knowledgeable, and stopped to allow us to get lots of pictures when we came upon wildlfe.

Wonderful crew; Captain Billy was super. The air boat was clean & most importantly, the ear “mufflers” were excellent. They also have a nice restroom in the store front. Directions to their place are clear. Had a great time and were lucky enough to see dolphins corralling mullets for dinner:)

We had 1 hr airboat tour with Captain Bill. It was my kid’s first airboat experience. We all enjoyed and loved the time from Crystal canal to open ocean area. The water is so clear. Highly recommended and we will come back:)

We had such a wonderful experience yesterday. Gary took great care of us and we even got lucky enough to have a private tour and see some dolphins! Definitely recommend this experience

Wonderful time in water this week. Our one hour adventure was filled with the history of and what creates the crystal clear water. We had a fantastic time watching dolphins surfing in our wake and leaned so much about the sea world around us.
Don't hesitate to book this company for an enchanting time.

We loved the air boat tour! Capt Billy was great, friendly, knowledgeable and just cool to hang out with. The boat is in great condition and it is just so much fun to fly through the mangroves. Billy would stop the boat for any wildlife and it was amazing going from the roaring 8 cylinders to complete silence in seconds. We would totally recommend Ozello Boats and the stick around the tight community of Ozello has some great restaurants and bars!

After researching several different Air Boat tour companies in northern Florida, we decided to book with Ozello Air Boat tours. We live in South Carolina and while the tours that take you to see alligators sound fun, we wanted something a little different since we see plenty of gators in SC. What seemed to set them apart was that their tours venture out into the Gulf of Mexico.

We did the hour and a half tour and it was a lot of fun. It started by idling through the canals for about five minutes, which gave us a chance to look at all the interesting houses along the canal.

As soon as we were clear of the canal, we took off and zig zagged through the maze of the wetlands. Along the way we spotted some dolphins, our tour guide slowed down and allowed us to get some good pictures and videos, then he went in circles as the dolphins had fun swimming in our wake.

A short while later we were in the Gulf, amazing how clear and shallow the water was. Our tour guide shut the engine off and let us drift with the current for about 15 minutes and allowed us to sit in the edge of the boat and stick our feet in the water.

On the way back in, I spotted three sharks, but wasn’t able to get any pictures of them, but was cool to see. Came across some more dolphins as spent another five minutes watching them.

Definitely would recommend Ozello Boats, especially if you want something a little different from the other Air Boat tours. Not sure what part I enjoyed more: zipping around at full speed on the air boat or drifting with the current with my feet in the water.
