Really good experience getting out on the water with our captain Brandon. The VIP 1 hour tour is a perfect way to chill out, we were nearly late but made it to the jetty at the alloted time, quick safety brief, ear defenders on and we're away.
Brandon took us out to see whatever wildlife we could find, we seen a load of birds, and a couple of alligators. One gator was chomping down a fish which is unusual during the day. Brandon stopped now and again to see if we were ok, point out bits and pieces and give some info on the creek. We covered basically the whole swamp.
If anyone is confused on the native park and boat ride, the whole thing is based in the same park, so the gem mining, cafe, archery etc all in the same place as you set off in the air boat from, you get a wristband pass on the way in and meet the airboat skipper on the jetty at your time, and have free reign of the park before and after. Everything was closed when we visited but to be honest it was tiny and you had to pay extra for everything, I think 10 arrows were like $6 for archery. Park isn't really worth visiting on its own. Didn't visit the cafe/restaurant to rate it.
Long story short, air boat is a must do for any holiday, park just a gimmick just have a walk round it after your airboat ride
