Awesome to see an alligator in the wild. Enjoyed learning about them also. I recommend this experience to anyone.

Check in Staff was very courteous and the loading and unloading of the airboats were very efficient. With all the airboats running, all the wildlife was spooked. It was a fun ride and the we couldn't ask for a more perfect day. The kids liked the Wildlife encounter where they got a chance to pet a gator. Would do the tour again, perhaps the nighttime tour.
