We got on the boat right away! The tour was very informative & a lot of fun! At the specific location we met at, there was a gift shop and a bar to grab a bite to eat when we got off the airboat. We really enjoyed the wildlife show following the airboat ride as well. Would definitely go again!!

Safe, Fantastic and great value for money. Guides were knowledgeable and super friendly. An hour was just enough to see the alligators, turtles and birds in their natural habitat.

We got to see several alligators, crocodile, and birds. It was a quality experience and fun for the value

Our guide was fun, funny and knowledgeable. We had a great time.

Nice zoo, over a wide area, which equal a lots of waking.
