5.00This was a very nice outing. It’s a short and comfortable bus ride from Miami. It was very well organized and managed. It was exciting to see the alligators both tamed in a show and out in their natural habitat. The airboat ride was thrilling!
A good value for a first time trip but has room for improvement

4.00The airboat portion of the trip was good. The gator show was a little lame and not as good as it had been on my two previous visits. The bus was completely full and no information given by the driver ( no tour guide above) and the air conditioning was not able to keep the temperature comfortable.

5.00Just got back from an amazing adventure in the wetlands and wanted to give a shout-out to our guide, Rafael Acosta! He made the whole trip incredibly fun and informative. We saw so much wildlife and learned a ton about the ecosystem. Rafael's passion for the area was infectious, and he really made sure everyone had a fantastic experience. Highly recommend booking a trip with him if you're ever in the area!
