Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Extremely fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. We saw a lot of gators, pigs, turtles, and raccoons! The only downside is I wish they had a section while booking to say how the hotel pickup is EXTREMELY recommended. We just saw optional and thought it would be fine. Even the front desk workers said we are going to be there all day since Ubers rarely come out there. It did take a long time to get one home. It should be advertised more that transportation doesn’t come out that way.
fun and educational. great opportunity to see gators and other wildlife. bus driver and Captain provided good information and history.
