The Activity we Experienced
What we chose to do
A Special Encounter on our Gator Experience
How did you discover this activity?
We found this activity through a Google search.
When did you book your tour compared to the departure date?
We booked our tour one week ahead of going.
Why did you choose this activity?
Our children requested that we go!
How did you get to the activity location?
It was a quick car ride!
What was your experience with the activity’s staff?
Awesome! It was very educational.
Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?
Meeting Pearl the albino was such a special encounter. We learned so much about reptile pigmentations and yearling gator growth in their natural habitat.
Pearl is over 10 years old and special needs, which allowed us to understand more about reptile genetics and basic gator survival instincts of the mother during mating/gestation periods.
Adults enjoyed the tour guides’ charming, honest, and laid back personalities. There was no stress or anxiety!
Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?
Great for tweens who think they know everything. Our kids are precocious and slightly annoying when it comes to new experiences and (finally) they smiled and engaged in new learning experiences.
