What people are saying about Orlando

Scott was so real, funny, and engaging! My son was the only kid in the group (12 yrs) and he made sure the tour was educational, but in a “fun” way. We saw several alligators, but the boat ride alone was worth the cost. One of our favorite Florida experiences!!!

Totally amazing trip! Astrid is very friendly, knowledgeable, so experience is definitely best. We saw manatees right near our kayak!!

Would highly recommend this excursion for the entire family. Fun, informative and the area is beautiful.

Siempre es una experiencia inolvidable visitar sea World, lo haría cuantas veces pudiera

Staff was so kind and friendly. It was amazing and will do again!
