It was nice seeing gators out in the wild even though we only got to see 2. They had knowledgeable staff at their exhibits.

We saw two alligators on the airboat tour, but honestly, just the ride around the sawgrass and visiting the animal exhibit was worth the price of admission! Rick was our airboat captain and he made sure to answer all our questions and give us a great ride. Nick was at the alligator/croc exhibit and he was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk with. He brought out an alligator to pet which was a bonus. Great experience!!

Disappointing.
Did the trip off cruise ship and had been advised it was a 4.5 hour excursion- they used Floridatours. Com. It may be that the cruise ship’s description was the issue and if you go direct maybe it’s better.
We had 30 minutes at most on the water, I had expected rather more steady cruising for wildlife but after 2 different birds and 1 alligator the captains said we’d covered the wildlife and we were wizzed off for the fun speeding.
We then looked at a few animals in very small enclosures. I gather they rescue them but it was rather sad and inadequate looking.
The chap telling us about the alligators didn’t project his voice and kept talking away from us so we don’t hear much. He kept his hood up the whole time.
Coffee- tasty but painfully slow and we only had it because we had an hour hangings about before the coach left.
