Unusual Adventure - Our captain, Fernando, was knowledgeable and entertaining. The excursion was pleasant and informative. We saw seven alligators and many turtles. It was well worth doing, and I would go again.

Great Family Experience - This was an excellent activity for my entire family! Beautiful landscape, animals natural to the habitat, butterflies, wildflowers, tons of wildlife! Our tour guide was entertaining, and it was a nice mixture of riding in the boat while also floating and admiring nature while learning about alligators! Tour guide was actually funny! I read a ton of reviews before purchasing tickets as it was an investment for our family of eight. However, it was worth it. The negative comments now seem absurd to me as the experience was just what I was hoping it would be! The map let us straight to the location, the speed of the boat provided lots of fresh air! Thanks for a lovely activity!

Great way to see Florida's Nature - First of all Captain Justin was a great guide and told us about the history as well as pointing out the various animals that we saw. It was a real treat to see a bald eagle in flight.

Family fun! - Great family fun! We traveled out on the river and a creek. We spotted a small alligator. We went a little fast a few times. I would definitely like to see more wildlife but it was still fun.

Make sure you book with the male skipper ... - We was hot, tired and traveled far to get there. I observed the female skipped seemed put out by the job when arriving, a bit later she was exstreamly rude in front of other guest to me. Only in respect for my wife and prepayment I remained intact. Hope she gets treatment...

Horrible - Absolutely horrible, miserable experience. The tour operators couldn't have cared less that a torrential downpour completely soaked us ruining my wallet, my shoes and all of our clothes were thoroughly soaked. My grandkids were crying and miserable. They didn't cancel or reschedule the event. You don't get refunds if you don't go regardless of thunder lightning or rain. They didn't offer any rain gear or any protection from the weather. I strongly do not recommend this tour. Besides being completely lame, this by far was the worst tour l've ever been on among dozens and dozens of tours.
