I was amazed by the overall experience especially the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. We arrived an hour earlier and asked if we could get on the next airboat and he did it without hesitation. Then we had Captain Adam as our guide and he was knowledgeable and great at pointing out not just gators but the different birds we saw. It was a great experience and the price was very reasonable. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for starting our vacation out perfectly.

The boat ride was nice but there was no wildlife no birds and no alligators. We saw the head of one alligator for one second and the guide said you can't see them now but only at night. A shame that I didn't know that before I booked! Very disappointing!!!!
