I was so grateful for the transport to get to and from the swamp boat ride. I enjoyed the boat ride and the driver who told us all about the area and the wildlife. He stopped and let us see the alligators and other wildlife and explained their habitat well. It was a very relaxing ride and it was nice to have the cover over the boat to keep it cooler.

Took the small airboat tour. It was hot and sunny but so much fun! Our guide was knowledgeable and really good with the gators! You do get to hold a baby gator which is the highlight of the trip. Had a wonderful time.

It was just okay. The swamp itself was beautiful but I would’ve liked to learn more facts about the ecosystem as advertised. The narration was more like the jungle cruise at Disneyland (funny jokes). We did see some female alligators though.

I was not picked up at the agreed pick-up location and therefore could not participate in the already paid tour
