Great time. Don't skip the animal encounter in the back. The guy who assists there has tons of knowledge and is great with kids.

We had an amazing time! It was a surprisingly smooth and tranquil ride, even with the roar of the motor behind us (They gave us ear plugs). It was beautiful and serene out floating over and through the grassy "river". Captain Jack took good care of us and gave us a great lesson the grasslands ecosystem. Fun and informative, he made sure we had a great time time. We did finally find a gator and follow him around for a minute, but even if we had gotten skunked, it would have been a fun time.
My only "complaint" would be that we had such a good time, we left without visiting their animal exhibits (The staff should make a bigger deal about telling people so they don't miss it, it's really great to see) . My girls were originally most excited to see and hold the "baby alligators". Luckily we remembered a few miles down the highway and then turned around and went back. So glad we did! Nick spent tons of time with us and taught us so much about alligators and crocodiles that we never knew. We saw more gators and snakes and lizards and we all got to hold Pickles the alligator. It was a highlight to the highlight of our day.
Thanks Jack, Nick, and Sawgrass!

We really enjoyed the tour and learner a lot about alligators. The animal sanctuary was really cool and you can tell staff are knowledgeable and really care about the animals Watch out for the birds and the concession trailer. One took a quesadilla right out of my sister’s hand.
