FAQs

Is there an age requirement?

No - this is a great experience for all ages. Children under 6 years old will be required to wear a life jacket. The boats do tend to be loud, especially for young children, so ear protection will be available as well.

Are life vests and hearing protection required?

All passengers are provided with hearing protection prior to riding on the tour. Children 6 and under are required to wear a life vest.

Is there a guarantee to see alligators?

It cannot be guaranteed to see alligators in the wild on the airboat tour. The captains have many years' experience and are usually very good at finding them, but since they are in the wild, each tour is unique and unpredictable.

You are, however, guaranteed to see gators if you explore the reptile exhibit at the park before or after your tour. You'll even get a chance to hold a baby alligator!

Hello, Joseph! Thank you for your wonderful review! It truly sounds like an amazing day with a very knowledge captain and crew. I will be sure to pass your kind words to the captain as I am sure he will be thrilled to hear about your experience. Nothing can compare to seeing gators and enjoying a tasty treat. Cheers to your new memories! Kind Regards, Brianna

We booked this trip and LOVED IT!!! The guide told us that there is a chance that they will not see any alligators, but we saw at least 6 that day! The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly! The boat was nice and not as loud as I expected. They do pass out ear plugs, but we did not need them. They take a picture of you and you can purchase it for about $10 at the end of the boat ride. I had so much fun and would absolutely do this again!!!!
