Amazing wildlife. Something for all age groups - We did the 1 hour boat trip and ultimate package for 9 people (4 children aged 12-17). The captain was great - knowledgeable and funny. The wildlife was incredible - beautiful water lilies, amazing birds (3 bald eagles) and of course the alligators. Fast boat ride appealed to the teenage boys. Pulled pork burger for lunch was great and gem stone mining appealed to the 12 year olds. All in all a great experience.

Mother Nature - Airboat was fun and cooler. They stop to view the alligators and it gets real quiet. Beautiful birds and butterflies!

Great experience - We took this trip yesterday morning to have something to do while waiting for our room to be ready to checkin. What a fun experience this was. We got here and it only took 30 minutes to get on the ride. We seen baby gators, a small gator and one that was over 10 feet. This was a great experience and we can now say we have been on a airboat. The lunch which was included in our package was delicious with a lot of choices. The gem mining was also fun and we found some pretty rocks to take home. We are going to put them in a jar and label them as our vacation rocks. Funny thing is we always try to find a rock on vacation for a remembrance of our trip.

Fun experience - We look the 30 min airboat ride which was great. We saw a lot of gators with some only a few feet from us. The engine on the boat broke down and the guide called for help for us to be picked up in a different boat in 10 min or so. It was actually a lot of fun. The included meal was a choice of a sandwich and ours was piled high with BBQ. The sides were also excellent. Gem panning was included where you keep the rough gems and was also fun. Highly recommend for everyone with kids also having a great time.

Didn't meet my expectations - The restaurant is closed due to a fire about one week ago. No repairs thus far. The fire included the gift shop. When I got there one of the staff made a racial slur loudly within earshot of me.
