We loved our tour! Very informative and fun. Got to see alligators up close from the safety of the boat. Our tour guide, Luke, was entertaining and we enjoyed him! Highly recommend.

Enjoyable and educational excursion. We saw plenty of alligators! Captain Darrin was informative and shared plenty of his funny jokes and stories. The boat was comfortable enough (wooden benches) for the 1.5 hr trip.
