Great half-day out - Great day out, great tour and especially great driver (unfortunately I cannot remember his name). It's a fairly long trip to the park, and just as long return, so the commentary about the area we passed through was very enjoyable

Great tour - We had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Ismaiel, was wonderful. He was prompt and went above and beyond for us. The tour itself leaves more than enough time to explore Wild Florida without feeling rushed. It is also good value for money. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for an excursion to the Everglades from Orlando.

Highlight of our Florida trip - Fabulous tour! From pick up by Ismeil at grayline to the staff at Wild Florida, it was a brilliant day.
We picked the early tour with 30min airboat, but were lucky enough to be given an extra 30min! The airboat through the everglades was so beautiful & relaxing! Saw so many birds & a few gators! Very enjoyable.
There was also a little wildlife park there which was cute. They had a number of birds & animals i hadn’t see before! Watching the gator feeding was also pretty cool.
To top it off, i also got a delicious pulled pork burger with a gf bun for lunch!
Definitely a highlight of our trip to Florida & have already recommended to some other friends visiting in the coming week.

Wild Florida Airboat - We visited wild Florida for a one hour airboat tour. The trip also included plenty of time for seeing the numerous animals they care for on site and for lunch before we were dropped back off early in the afternoon.
Greg was a great laugh and entertained our small group throughout. He did magic tricks, told jokes and was incredibly informative, even demonstrating his knowledge of the animals and his ability to communicate with them!
A highly enjoyable day and the airboat ride provided stunning scenery and an incredible insight into a side of Florida we had never seen before. Highly recommend!!

Family fun for sure! - There were so many memorable events. The airboat ride was amazing. My 3 year old was captivated. Feeding the alligators and feeding the birds were highlights as well. Wild Florida has something for everyone. it’s definitely a must do!

Wild Florida - 5 stars, Grayline - 1 - My family and I hugely enjoyed Wild Florida. If you can, book through their website and drive there yourself. You will save money and stress by not going with Grayline. The day before our trip, they moved up the pickup time to 7:45 and reduced our airboat time to half an hour. You can skip the ride altogether - it was not as great as described. Not much to see.
Our driver Preston was pleasant but had no clue about the park or features of the package we had purchased, which was the most expensive one offered. The staff of the park are friendly and knowledgeable, the shows were wonderful and we enjoyed the wide variety of animals. Next time, we would go on our own to spend more time with the animals and not race to get back by a certain time. Wild Florida is a must-see on your next trip!
