We had the best time at Wild Florida (2 adults/3 kids aged 12/9/6). The airboat was incredible, a real bucket list experience. We did the 1/2 hour tour, if we ever came back I'd probably push the boat out (excuse the pun) and do a private airboat as that looked a lot of fun too. The Gator Park has lots of animals to see as well as crocs and gators and kept us amused with various shows and a chance to hold an alligator too. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed this immensely and it was great to leave Florida having seen a more authentic side, not just the inside of the theme parks.

Capitan Mark was fun and knowledgeable. My family ranged from 56 to 18, and all had a wonderful time on the tour. We enjoyed the Crusher show and the Exotic Animal show. Everyone at Wild Florida is knowledgeable, friendly , and ever visit 5 stars. Dress in layers because the open water riding is windy and can be chilly, but it is nice and warm when walking around or not at full speed on tue boat. You will see Gators on every Airboat ride, and it is awe inspiring every time.

Wild Florida was such an unforgettable experience! The Safari Drive-Thru was amazing, with animals like zebras and camels coming so close to the car. Feeding the giraffes and the baby alligators was so much fun, and both of my teens loved interacting with the animals. The gator park is much more than a gator park with so many animals! But by far, the most fantastic experience, and one I would highly recommend, was the Capybara experience! The capybaras were so sweet, and petting them was my daughter's dream come true. I know this is one of those moments we will never forget. The airboat ride was also thrilling, with great views of alligators and wading birds as well as some swap cows, which was an unexpected but fun part of the airboat ride.
The staff was amazing! I visited with my son and my daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, and the staff was very attentive and accommodating.
Just keep in mind that the Safari Drive-Thru can take over an hour, so plan your day accordingly. I would recommend you plan to spend most of your day here as there are so many things to do! The park can get hot, so bring water and wear comfortable shoes. It’s worth every minute—we’ll definitely return!

The tour was amazing. We have done other airboat tours in Orlando area before and this is by far the best. We were able to see gators and many wild birds on the tour. The ticket also includes the zoo like area. The food at the park restaurant is also very good. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first airboat ride. Todd was our tour guide & was very pleasant & informative. So glad we decided to go with the one hour tour, instead of the half hour. We had lunch on site, which was very good. We toured the gator park & viewed lots of different animals & lots of alligators. All the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend!

This is our second time doing a 1 hour airboat tour and we would do it again! Free admission to the small zoo on site with your air boat pass and a few shows to watch that are timed well with the air boat times. Definitely recommend to call ahead and reserve a time if you’re air boating or you’ll probably be out of luck if you just show up.

We visited Gator Park on Dec 23rd. We were a party of ten. Since there were many people waiting for the boat ride, we were offered the animal encounter show while we waited for the airboat and we were sold tickets that supposedly included the encounter and airboat. We participated in the animal encounter and when we asked for the wristband to get on the boat we were told we had to pay for it. We claimed Josue had told us we had all included in what we had paíd for. We talked to him and he denied all of it. We talked to the manager and she mocked us offering just a $4 discount… needless to say we left the premises not having done the boat ride, feeling utterly disappointed, uncared for and even laughed at by the manager and assistants. We were scammed and chances are anyone will if they happen to go.

Overpriced!! The airboat tour wasn’t a full hour like we paid for and it was boring, we only saw one alligator and it was mostly birds and ducks and we wanted to see alligators on the tour. The park itself was was small and the petting zoo was mainly goats. During the exotic animal show they said we could take a picture with fluffy the gator and they said it would be free and when we went to take the picture they told us it wasn’t free. $17 for a keychain with a tiny picture is very overpriced especially when they said it was free. The food at the grill was good however, they served plenty of fries and the onion rings also came well served. Overall I don’t recommend if your going with a big family if your doing an airboat tour. We spend over $250 for a family of 5 and it wasn’t worth it.
I did seek for a more affordable option for the picture with fluffy but i was told that was the cheapest option.

This is my family's third visit. We always find ourselves wanting to come back. Great value for what you get, access to the small zoo which has just enough animals to keep you engaged. The center gator pond is full of 10ft plus alligators. 30min air boat tour is fun. All in all best bang for buck in Orlando area

If I go through the drive thru Safari before my airboat ride how long should I allow to get from one to the other?

We're staying at Disney, how can we get there, is there a bus route? Cabs with wheelchair access are very expensive, no Uber or Lyft can accommodate us!

My family drove ourselves, but I found an old blog from 2013 about transportation. Not sure if the information is still available.
"If you're in need of a lift to our place, we're pleased to let you know that we have partnered with Gray Line of Orlando and Florida Dolphin Tours. Both of these transportation companies offer daily shuttle transportation services to and from our Everglades airboat tours, making Wild Florida one of the few airboat tour companies in Central Florida to offer daily scheduled transportation services."

Would insect repellent be a recommendation for the airboat tours?
Written September 12, 2019
If you already have some, I guess it wouldn't hurt. I did not do the airboat tour, just the wildlife park, which is amazing. The only issues with bugs were Love Bugs, and insect repellant wouldn't deter them. HAVE FUN!

For those who’ve taken the airboat rides, 1/2 hour or hour long - which did you prefer? Pros/cons of each?
Written September 25, 2018
I took the one-hour version, which meant going completely around the lake. To me, anything shorter would not have been enough.

If I want to book a sloth encounter, can I do it last minute? I don’t know what day I’ll be going yet so wondered if I could do it on the day or does your ticket need printing?
Written September 16, 2018
When we went we did three different activities p, including the sloth experience, between us all and we booked and paid for them when we paid to get it. We didn't book anything in advance so you should be ok. The only thing you need to book in advance really is the boat tour due to spaces.

What specifically is the difference between the 1/2 day Adventure Package, and the 1-hour Airboat tour? From what I see, both include the 1 hour boat tour, zoo admission, and gator demo. The only difference I'm seeing on the website is that the package includes lunch, and a photo with a gator. Are there any more differences? Thanks.

Whether an hour or half day, you will have a great time! We did the hour long and it was a great value for what we received!
