They give you a time slot to arrive, then there was an hour wait for our assigned boat. While we were waiting we went to the exhibits and our encounter with the baby alligator was fun. Then we decided to order some food and the wait was longer than they told us, but everything is made fresh to order. I tried the gator bites, which was good, but you don’t get a lot for $11. The Sweet Tooth Cafe was closed. They give you earplugs because the airboat is loud. Make sure you put them in as best as you can. I saw so many under the floor boards. The boat ride was enjoyable and we did see an alligator.

Even though we had technical difficulties on our adventure, this trip did not disappoint. We safely made it back to the dock to start our 40min trip all over again. We saw various wildlife: alligators, ducks, herons, Seahawks. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We had the best day!

Captain Jack was awesome, he explained that we may not see any alligators and he was able to guide us to see 3-4 alligators. The airboat is really loud so be ready and bring extra ear protection for young kids.

We had a great time visiting the reptile exhibits and then we went on the airboat ride. We saw 3 alligators and several species of birds. Captain Johnathan was very informative. Make sure to plan for the 2 hour duration.

Captain Jack was amazing! We went with our 2 kids and our teenager enjoyed the ride. We were glad to be able to see 3 gators. The animals exhibit was also a good plus while we waited for our boat ride. Glad that we were able to do this, but for sure this air boat is really loud so bring better ear plugs especially for younger kids.

The airboat ride was great. Fast enough to keep your interest but perfectly safe. The boat captain (sorry, can’t remember his name) was great. He was informative, friendly and very capable. Overall, great experience!!

Good air boat ride, captain was very informative and saw some alligators, one in particular that stayed around the boat for minutes. The wildlife area was very interesting.

Experience was excellent. Arrived and very quickly picked up our wrist bands with our pre booked ticket in the gift shop and then waited about 15 minutes for our air boat. Ride lasted about 40 minutes and we saw three alligators as well as some lovely scenery. Afterwards, we spent about 45 minutes looking at the animal exhibits and everyone had a great time. Friendly staff available whenever needed to ask questions etc.
