We did the 1/2 day adventure with lunch and so glad we did. Arrived a full 1 1/2 hours early are we were offered an eariler boat. This was an amazing day from jet boat ride to animals shows and more. So happy we did this tour as an escape from Disney. Lunch was good too.

Itinerary
Step away from the hustle and bustle of the city to visit, Kenansville, an hour drive outside Orlando, where you can enjoy Florida’s natural beauty. Your day begins with a 30-minute or 1-hour or airboat tour deep into the 4,200 acres (1,699 hectares) of protected swamps, marshes and rivers that make up the Central Florida Everglades. Your US Coast Guard captain will give you an in-depth look at the gators, birds, eagles, trees and plants that make up these beautiful wetlands. Experience an untouched part of Florida and soak in the quiet, picturesque atmosphere, where you won’t see any city development or homes.

You cannot visit Florida without doing an airboat tour 🔥
Well worth the money The park had lots of animals. You could go to some shows Everything had signs with info about the animals.
We had amazing time and would 100% come back thank you too you all doe a fab day
We had fun our tour guide was so accommodating
This was such a lovely adventure! Our guide, Jeff, was very knowledgeable, engaging, and had a great sense of humor. We chose the one-hour tour and saw an impressive variety of animals — even a cow! We had a wonderful time and would absolutely do it again.
Great tour guide Jeff he was fun and we really learned a lot about the lake and wildlife.
Great airboat tour of the Everglades which granted us free admin into the Gator Park. Very knowledgeable driver Captain Curtis who answered everybody’s questions and pointed out the American Bald Eagle we saw flying above us along with all the Alligators we saw. It was well worth the hour trip which flew by.
This was a fun experience as our captain was very knowledgeable and took us to an area in the lake with multiple baby alligators and we saw a large male that was over 12 feet long. Then we were able to watch a bird get a fish, watch it fly, and then swing the boat around to watch it eat the fish. Also, the exotic animal show was terrific and we enjoyed getting to hold the alligator. We saw animals we'd never seen in person before. I do recommend getting your Uber set as it is secluded.
Alex was an amazing captain and knew where all the good spots were, despite alligators not being very active this time of year. We even got to see a nest of babies! The park was much bigger and better than we expected, the food was good, and we ended up spending the whole day out here. We held an alligator, fed baby and big alligators, got to see an alligator show, feed birds, and went to the exotic animal show. The only disappointment was the barnyard wasn’t open except for two windows, and we missed them due to other activities. Our three year old wanted to do that, but he was still happy with the birds. It was much better than our day at Animal Kingdom!
The park events were fun and interesting. The airboat ride was a fun experience as well. My daughter and I enjoyed it.
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Great ride, go for the hour! Saw lots of wildlife and the morning tour was very nice.
Alex our boat captain was wonderful. Answered all our questions, was personable and really worked to find some gators for us to see.
Everything was awesome. Can tell that the owners care about the animals and site. Everything was clean and well organized and not overly crowded. Great value for the price. We were able to see a mamma gator and her babies while on the boat. Great for families.
This was our second visit to wild Florida which says a lot in itself. It’s a fantastic day out for the family of all ages. We do the 1hr tour where you get to see the whole lake and the zoo is also amazing.
I wish I had booked a whole hour or the half day, only booked 30 min but loved it so much we wanted more… next time, because we would definitely do again!
Great experience enjoyed it so much value for money was exceptional
The 1-hour 9am airboat trip was great! Beautiful scenery, gator sightings, and many spectacular bird sightings. The animal safari was also fun and I enjoyed the gator demonstration and opportunity to get a selfie with one. All-in-all a great bang for the buck!
Had a great time! Took a tour with a very knowledgeable guide Piper. We fed lemurs, sloth, porcupine and capybara. She made our tour personal and worth the 2 hrs. Airboat was cool. Saw 2 alligator and a bald eagle. Finished off on the drive thru safari. Really cool adventures!! Well worth the price of a full day of admission price.
Do the 1 hour air boat tour, well worth it! Alex was informative and very knowledgeable of where to look for the gators and wildlife! Highly recommend him
Very good only seen 2 alligators but that was because of the time of day and the high temperatures. The airboat ride and the birds we saw were very enjoyable.Our captain Mike was very friendly and happy to answer any questions while also telling us about the area
Outstanding experience and super friendly staff worth it big time, just book and have a blast trust us
Brilliant airboat ride with a fantastic guide. Would highly recommend.
Unfortunately, our stay was not what we expected. The property was not properly maintained, and several amenities were either unavailable or not working as described. The cleanliness could also have been much better, which made the stay uncomfortable. Communication with the owner was slow, and it took too long to get responses to our concerns. Overall, the property did not provide good value for the price we paid. We expected a more comfortable and well-managed vacation experience, but we left disappointed. Hopefully, the owner will address these issues and improve the property and guest service for future visitors.
Beautiful day and expert Captain Alex knew just where to take us. Even though the heat of the summer so no Alligators promised-saw 4 up close and many babies. Also enjoyed the Alligator feeding after the boat ride.
My husband and I took the airboat ride. We had a good time, even when the boat got stuck and we had to be rescued by another airboat. Captain Jeff was a wonderful guide and he didn’t panic, so we followed his lead. He supplied water and towels and tried to get the boat free from the sand. He called for help and other boat arrived soon after. When we arrived back at the boat house my husband gave Captain Jeff a tip but he didn’t want to take it because of what happened. We insisted and told him that the incident only made the trip more exciting! We not able to take advantage of the zoo because I got too much sun and wasn’t up to doing anything else. But we promised each other that we would do this again in the fall.
We lived out and definitely want to come back next vacation
We had a great airboat ride and walk around the animal park. I would definitely recommend this place
Awesome. Lots of gator sightings. Cool to ride on an airboat.
My wife and I LOVED it. We did the half day pass, we really enjoyed the shows. There were MANY more animals than we were expecting.
There are only 2 infant gators in the whole swamp, not even worth it, it should be free. We wasted 30 minutes on nothing. The best part of it all were the photos we took of oursrlves
Had an early morning airboat ride, great driver, found us lots of alligators, big and small and other bonus animals including 2 otters. Really enjoyed the experience and all the staff were great.
Great fun! Excellent price for a 30 minute airboat ride and access to an awesome animal park with a variety of animals. Recommend going for the one hour ride, we wish we had purchased more time on the water.
Amazing experience great staff great facilities very organized! I had a wonderful day out! I recommend!
We did the 1 hour airboat ride and could have left that out. Not much but a cruise around the lake. The safari drive thru was awesome. Feeding Walter the giraffe was awesome. Thanks Walter.
We booked on the Ultimate Experience and it did not disappoint. We was met by the amazing Piper, we had a private tour of the park and then one one one experiences with the Capybara, Lemurs, Porcupine, and Sloths. Fantastic experience. Piper was knowledgeable, approachable for questions, friendly and you could see her genuine love for the animals. 100% we'd go back again.
We did Airboat tour with gator park and safari. The whole experience was fantastic. We did early airboat tour as it was summertime saw lots of Gators way more than we expected, Mike our Captain was great and very knowledgeable. The gator park is great lots of variety of animals and 3 great shows with excellent keepers. Then we did the drive through safari it was great animal visibility is very good even when they are hiding in the shade. We also finished off with feeding Lero the Giraffe which all our family loved. Yes it’s a bit of a journey out from Disney/theme park area of central Florida but 100% worth the visit it was great day out. If you want to do the airboats book the 1hr slot it’s worth extra and if you go in summer months book the 9am slot or in the winter months book the 12pm slot
The price was reasonable and the experience was worth every cent. Had a wonderful time.
Captain Lauren was great! She is extremely experienced and attentive to the environment. She patiently answered all of the questions our group asked.
Highly recommend! The staff was incredibly accommodating and assisted my husband, who is disabled, in getting on and off the boat safely
What a fab experience. We are a family of 6 (4 teenagers) we are all animal lovers but the older teens are “kinda over zoos now mum” well Wild Florida proved them wrong. The Airboat tour was a great way to kick off the day. Captain Alex was great and we were lucky enough to see a mum Alligator and about 15 of her babies just hanging out around their nest. We saw turtles too and plenty of beautiful birds. The boat is loud and fast and brilliant because it has minimum impact on the wildlife but engaged the teens and they loved the up close nature of viewing the local wildlife. We were then planning on heading off back up to Orlando for an afternoon in the theme parks but were all soooo glad we didn’t rush off but went for a wander round the conservation park. What a great set up; this isn’t a zoo and isn’t all shiny and zoo like it’s rough and ready but with the animals at the heart of what the team are doing. Pete and his team were exceptional. The talks and engagement program was excellent. Informative, not too long but so interesting and you can see the affection the whole team has for the animals. Take your bug spray you are out in the Everglades but the lovely A/C’d gift shop has drinks and snacks to keep your own beasties and I know there’s a cafe on site too but we didn’t use it this time. We’ve done a week touring Florida, Miami the Keys and are now on our second week up in the theme parks but as our holiday ends all of us have said the Gators and Wild Florida was a holiday highlight!
Great. Amazing experience and great staff . 100% recommended ..................... . . . . . . . .. . . .
Fun , and great experience! Saw a few gators and just overall had a great time
wonderful experience; even got a “good job” from the wife, so that made it even better. steve was a great captain.
We thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride. The guide was so knowledgeable & kind. We had a great experience & learned about the wildlife & environment.
There is so much to do at Wild Florida and it is such a great value. I originally booked the airboat ride and the wild animals. Mark was our captain and he did a great job driving and showing us the wildlife. We ended up adding on the safari which was well worth while.
We order the 1 hour ride. Less then that won’t give you the sight that you want. The alligators are all around and they know where to find them but it takes time. The view was beautiful and the driver Jimmy was great. You can go to see the animals before & after the ride.
It was fun seeing alligators a few in the swamp and more in the zoo. I enjoyed the airboat ride and learning a lot from our guide/driver forgot his name. Definitely recommend.
We did the 10:15 a.m. 1-hour airboat ride. We were lucky enough to see a good number of gators, from babies to a 12ft adult. Following the ride, we went into the park to enjoy the shows and see the animals. We also did the bird, gator, and goat feeding add-ons, which were very low cost. The on-site eatery served good food at a very reasonable price. All in all, a great family day out.
I took my 7 year old nephew. he had a blast. It was so much fun. This is my 7 th. time doing this airboats tour.
