Great experience - The guides were really knowledgeable. It was easy to buy tickets online, but there were also walk up tickets. We were able to see a heron and two gators.

Absolutely fantastic. What an experience! - Absolutely fantastic. Took my breath away. The guide was brilliant, insightful and funny. We were so happy to see 2 alligators, a heron and a few unusual birds. I would love to do this again one day. What an experience.

Great excursion! Not too long but definitely worth it :) - We had so much fun! Super informative and interesting to see all the wildlife. Petting the baby gator was a highlight. We booked the 4pm tour. We had an hour to explore the exhibits and got on the boat at 5pm. We were out there for about 40 minutes - we saw lots of wildlife. Super happy with our experience and would recommend :)

Great experience .. except for the transport - The air boat ride was really amazing, the driver was so professional. The rescue centre talk was also a good experience.
However, the bus company they use, Miamitours.com, are absolutely shocking; please see their Trip Advisor reviews and be forewarned. They should stop using this awful company.
