Tanner was an awesome guide
WOW!!
My family had a great time on our tour. We saw ton of alligators and birds in their native habitat! The boat was thrillingly fast but smooth (no motion sickness, thankfully). Our tour guide was a hoot! He was super knowledgeable and funny, my boys LOVED him. We absolutely recommend this tour company. DO IT, you won’t be sorry.
