The River tour was fantastic! It was exciting and peaceful at the same time. Jennifer was an excellent tour guide. She gave us information about the history of the river area and the plants and animals in it. We even had a photo op with an alligator!
Great tour with fun.

Curtis_M, Mar 2022
We had a private tour with Jennifer who was absolutely awesome!! She is super knowledgeable and fun to be around! She was kind enough to take pictures of all the close encounters we got to experience (Henry the alligator was literally an arms length away!) and we didn’t have to worry about accidentally dropping our phone in the river. Such a great experience for the kids and mom n dad a like. We would absolutely go again!
Great Adventure!!
