Try to find a tour with the national park service. While this was an airboat ride and we did see a couple of alligators, I’m thinking the tour with the National Park Service would be more Informative
Semi satisfied

Tour boat captain Kyle was amazing and educated about the environment of the tour. It's VERY touristy with large groups of children and we were hoping for a more laid back, interactive experience. The gator show at the end was very fast and needed misters, however, the host was also very knowledgable. He could probably skip the insults about the other guy holding the gator. A few jokes are ok, but they became pretty personal and no one was laughing.
Not worth it!

The bus driver was not friendly. The AC didn’t work well so the drive there and back was warm. The AC unit was dripping on passengers. The microphone didn’t work so the driver couldn’t give the tour. The driver only gave instructions in English so my husband had to translate for the Spanish speakers. We only saw the head of one gator. The show was very short. The whole day was longer than planned and we got home at 3. Definitely not worth the $230! Would have rather enjoyed another day at the beach!
Amazing! Saw some many alligators with Captain chaos! And those boats go so fast!
