The atmosphere here was incredibly peaceful, and the slow pace made it the perfect way to start the morning. Along the walk, we spotted plenty of wildlife -- including birds, squirrels, lizards, bunnies, and even an otter playing near the water. The boardwalk trail isn't very long and has multiple benches along the way, making it a relaxing spot to take breaks and soak in the surroundings. There's also plenty of shade, which kept it comfortable despite the Florida humidity. We had brought along bug spray, expecting mosquitos, but it turned out to be unnecessary -- we didn't see any the entire time we were there. It was a calm, refreshing start to the day and a great spot for anyone who enjoys nature, wildlife, or just a peaceful walk.

A bottle of water would be a nice addition. This place has a trail that you are compelled to remain on throughout the excursion. It is a wooden trail with wooden guardrails to prevent you from straying. It was a pleasant hike, got my steps in , but I thought it would never end. I thought I was trapped in the movie set of "No Way Out" Finally ! At the end of the trail I managed to find the exit and my car. Adios ... don't think I'll be coming back . Ok ok , it wasn't that bad. I'm prone to exaggerate.

From there, we went to the airboat before we got to go on the airboat. Addison showed us some different snakes which we got to hold and taught us more about the animals in the area. We had Captain Fred take us out on the airboat. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the animals and fauna of the area. We did this during off-season so we had the boat to ourselves, which was really awesome. Highly suggest to anyone and everyone that they take this tour. The half-day was plenty to us. The full day would've been cool. Maybe that will happen next time. Make sure to ask for Addison and Fred.

I was amazed at all the different species of birds we saw on the way to the airboat as well as on the airboat itself. I was not really interested in birds until I took this tour, there were so many different kinds it was really very interesting. The airboat ride was awesome! I was not sure what to expect especially since it was cooler out and overcast for much of the morning and was even told early on that we may have difficulty seeing a lot of gators but was saw at least 5-6, young and old. Just being on the boat was a thrill. After the ride learned about and held a couple of different snakes and a baby alligator. Even those that were a bit afraid of holding the snakes were the first ones in line to hold the gator! This was a wonderful way to spend the morning.

Our knowledgeable guide Brad told us if you go in the late summer (wet season), 2' or so of water is flowing through it. So, what you see in the two seasons is different.

Our server was not very attentive, and we often saw him leaning against a wall scrolling on his phone. For such a nice restaurant with higher priced dishes, that was a bit disappointing. Overall, the views, food, and atmosphere were amazing and relaxing. We would definitely come back for another nice dinner.
