Worth Every Penny - My 10 and 4 year old grandsons loved the tour and asked if we could go again. I also thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide was very knowledgeable about local wildlife and told humorous stories to keep the tour fun. I ended up learning a lot which I really appreciated. The captain did a great job responding to the guide’s calls to stop the boat or go in a particular direction to enhance our view of birds and alligators. My 4 year managed to cut his hand on the blade of sawgrass that the guide passed around for us to see and I was relieved there was a well stocked first aid kit on board. A couple of bandaids and a dab of neosporin and it was all better. There was a lot of cool stuff in the little shop at the entrance to the dock - binoculars, honey, Carolina rice and a really chill Rottie named Bella that my 10 year old adored.

The captain and the host,... - The captain and the host, we're very informative and playful. I wish we could have seen more animals, but wild things will do what wild things, please.

Good family outdoors experience. - The guide, Agnes, was knowledgeable and family oriented. We were disappointed that only one alligator was spotted and only very briefly. There were fewer birds than expected. Boat driver was experienced.
