A fun and interesting ride - I will give a 5/5 because our guide was very informative and tried really hard to locate gators…..he only succeeded in finding one..l.certainly not his fault

Nice experience 🐢🦎 - We enjoyed our tour very much, and captain disco was awesome.
We were lucky to see a few alligators.
It’s not very expensive tour for 40 minutes.

Worth it and don't forget the show - Very nice airboat tour. Don't forget the show afterwards, it's free and very nicely done.
We were stuck with the boat for a while while there was an alligator in the background.

Well worth the money! - This was well worth the money. We were in a boat of 21 and Jimmy our guide was very helpful. He made it clear that we may not see the alligators as they would potentially be in the mud under water but we saw a total of 4, even staying out on the water past our allotted time so we could see the final one. Being on the boat was good fun. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was due to poor management of the queue. They wanted to stop us before getting on the boat to take a picture but allowed four people to jump the line and get the front seat.

Good stop - Good quick stop. Airboat ride lasted about 40 minutes which is just about right with small kids. Got to see a few alligators. Not sure I’d want to hang around for the two hour ride though.
The quick exhibits out back were cool too.

Getting to know the Alligators - Very good experience, we were unaware that the private tour option existed, on a next occasion we would prefer that.
It is a simple activity, not as much of an adventure as we imagined.
