This basically delivers what it says it will. The bus ride is fine (if a bit cramped). This is technically an airboat, but really, more like an airbus - huge noisy boats - I'm surprised there are any animals in the area at all. You will be asked for a tip every time you turn around - the tour guide, the airboat driver, the alligator wrestler. We did see some alligators, and a few birds, and everybody was polite and helpful.
