Even without spotting an alligator the tour was nice. The guide explained a lot of interesting stuff.

We greatly enjoyed our airboat ride with Captain Jim. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about wildlife in the area. He has a great eye and spotted the only alligator we saw on our tour. Unfortunately, due to the heat and excess water after the hurricane, we were told that the alligators have been under the water more than usual. Even so, the ride itself and the scenery were great and made the trip worth it. They also had a few exhibits that were fun to see. The man that did the gator show was very knowledgeable as well, and let us take plenty of pictures. The experience was pleasant. It would have been nice to have more signs for direction upon arrival, but we were able to ask around and find our way. Also, their food truck closed early (4:30pm roughly), which we weren’t aware of, so we were unable to get food there. We would definitely recommend this outing.

We took our family and it was a lot of fun! Our children liked the boat ride and it was just the right amount of time where they didn’t get bored. We also enjoyed seeing the reptile exhibit
