The richness of nature! - What a great experience! Travelled from Orlando with Gray Line, with Mauricio our driver. Then picked up the 1 hour airboat ride with Captain Wayne. It was so much fun, and Captain Wayne was great at spotting alligators and a huge variety of birds (the Florida snail kite was my favourite!) and positioning the airboat so photos could be taken. Ear defenders were provided, which was great, especially if we were heading across Boggy Creek at speed! That's a lot of fun. Mauricio was nice and chilled, not rushing us away too fast at the end of the ride, so there was time to look around the exhibits and gift shop. All in all, a great trip out and I'm glad I went for the 1 hour airboat option. One tip, dress warmly, it's chilly when the airboat is at full speed.

A great experience, don't miss it. - An interesting morning tour, wasn't sure what to expect . I loved that it didn't have all the pizazz of other attractions, it was relaxing, was even an interesting drive out from Disney resorts. Prompt pick up and friendly, informative tour guide . Comfortable small van . I had booked half hour but they asked if I wanted to do the hour, extra $20, glad I did as the time goes fast . The boat driver showed us lots, wasn't sure what to expect. good communication through email with Gray Line the day before.

Wild day out! - It was a great day out away from the crowds and theme parks of Orlando. Our driver and guide, Carmen, was fabulous providing us with local history, things to do and helping us plan our next few days. The airboat ride was a fantastic hour on the water and although many alligators were hiding, we spotted a couple and saw plenty of other wildlife. The Wild Florida park was a unique opportunity to see some exotic animals (well, exotic for us New Zealanders!). Feeding the gators was a great experience! Recommend if you have an interest in nature and the outdoors.

Great day trip. Highly recommend it to other families - We had the best time, driver was lovely and the guy who took out on the airboat was really nice and informative. It was great to be able to walk around and see the variety of different animals. Watch the alligators being fed and feeding them. The restaurant food was nice too.

Entertaining and interesting - Overall good, didn't see any alligators on the airboat however the gatorland was Fab, the crusher show and feeding show was really interesting and entertaining. Coach driver was really friendly and helpful, we missed our hour booked slot due to the driver waiting to pick up another family who didn't turn up so we ended up with half an hour, which was long enough and the company refunded us with no problems.

Great Airboat and nothing else - This was simply a Airboat tour and rest was a small exhibits of Gators and butterfly. We reached the ride area around 9 am and boat ride was planned at 10.50. There was hardly to see or do anything there so wasted lot of time. Air Boat ride was good.

Air boat with a few alligators - The driver of both the buss and the air boat did a great job. We waited for an hour and a half for our boat ride. Too long considering what was on display at the "dock".

Book with grayline - We missed the pick up as viator gave use an 8.30am pickup from our location lowes royal pacific which was wrong the pick up was at the lowes royal pacific ballroom at 7.30am. My advice is Book directly with grayline. Grayline gave a 25% refund as a good will viator nothing.

Book direct - cheaper and better planned - Booked for 08:30hrs, told roughly 4-5 hours which includes travel time (departure and return) and also, the 30 minutes boat activity. Arrived for 08:30hrs, the branch didnt open until 9:00hrs. The prices are almost 65% cheaper when booking directly - we arrived at a branch called Boggy Creek Adventure. The minibuses that take you, are with other inviduals who all have different allocated times for their boat ride. As a result, you have to spend a 2+ hours onsite with absolutely nothing to do waiting for other groups to finish so you can return home. This is not feasible for those with plans in the day. Ended up getting an Uber to return back to my hotel with my group of 6.
