Getting Up Close with Florida’s Famous Gators!

A perfect break from Disney and a great way to experience the real Florida. The airboat ride on Lake Tohopekaliga was thrilling, and seeing alligators in their natural habitat was an unforgettable highlight. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the wildlife, making the whole experience feel authentic. Great value for money and highly recommended for families.

You get us and we appreciate you.

Worth the trip!

You may not see a lot of alligators but will see birds and flowers and lily pads and the beautiful scenery. The boat ride itself was wonderful. Captain Connor was funny and answered all questions and was funny.

Rebecca, may your head always rest on the cool side of the pillow.

The ride was beautiful and the park had many things to do while waiting for the boat ride. The only downfall was there is so much flora and fauna unique to this area but perhaps due to the volume of the boat, none of the information was conveyed. During pauses, an explanation on why the water bulges or how the boat skids across the shallow water because of the airboats or even the history of the lake would truly personalize the experience.

Operator response

Love how you roll Patricia. Come back soon.

Gator search

The airboat and venue were very good. Due to the time of day and year. X we did not see a lot of alligator activity. How the Marshland and natural wildlife were great. Also the home base had enough activity to keep us occupied while we waited for our turn to go out.

Operator response

Steve you are the best. Come back soon.
