The drive to and from the hotel was the most memorable. The driver(Bruce) was great and very informative. The airboat ride was definitely less than expected and the operator was silly and over the top. Not to mention his flagrant begging for tips at the end, with his plastic baggie in hand. We didn't pay as much as we did to go out on the water to see plants and birds. The only alligators we saw were in an awful enclosure that was way too small for the number of animals trapped there.
Unfortunately, they also have other animals(raccoons, tortoises and a fox living in cramped, terrible conditions. This place is nothing more than a bad roadside zoo. If these animals truly cannot be released, then they should be sent to sanctuaries to live out their lives in adequate facilities, not doomed to live their too short lives in hell.
