Great scenery. Knowledgeable guide. Didn’t see many alligators but there are no guarantees in the wild. Overall a safe and fun experience.
This was so much fun! Our family loved it! Our guide was very informative and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
It's not guaranteed that you will see alligators while on the boat, but, they do have an animal exhibit that you can visit that has more than just alligators. We had to wait a couple hours to go due to the storm, safety first, but it was well worth the wait! We did see a few gators in their natural habitat, which was amazing. Definitely memories my kids will have for life!
We had a great time and saw several alligators while out on the boat. Our initial day for the tour got delayed because of lightening strikes in the area, the team were really great in rebooking for a couple days later. The sanctuary and info sessions were good as well, the food and gift shop were reasonably priced. Highly recommend this for all ages.
We had an amazing tour! HIGHLY recommend! We were there and got the second boat out at 9:30am and it was perfect: saw alligators and birds and learned so much, our guide was fantastic!
So much fun and informative - my 16;18 and 21 year old grandkids enjoyed this- we would love to drive ha!
We went with the Big Bus just because it was convenient with the transportation. If you're close by, do support them directly! Kevin Justin and Shane and the baby croc holder (sorry, didn't catch his name) were all extremely professional and informed. Highly recommend visiting!
It was well organized, fun and inexpensive.
DJ Disco was extremely patient in finding us gators, but also very knowledgeable. He made it more than just a ride in an airboat. We'd been on a tour with a previous company and saw zero gators. This tour, he found us several and the first one in our 1st 5 mins! Easy to book on the site and the price is better than you'll find anywhere else even the discount sites. Bonus was the exhibit that was included in the price. We even got to pet a baby gator. If you're near Ft. Lauderdale, this is the place to go. We did this after landing on our flight in that airport and was an easy drive to Miami afterwards. Food truck had tasty options including gator bites. Would highly recommend.
Great place. Small zoo/interactive animal exhibit and preservation society attached. Great AirBoat ride with very knowledgeable captains. Know where to go and decisions all the wildlife found in the glades. Wet season/summer is the worst time to see gators. So early morning or late evening yours are your best options of you need to see a gator! Well worth a visit
Morning is certianly the best time to visit in the Summer! Thanks for your review!
