Visit Gator Park & airboat rides

Discover land that remains unaltered in the wilderness of the Central Florida Everglades! Looking for some serious gator action? Gator Park is the premier airboat tour in the Florida Everglades to spy on these fierce reptiles. Airboat rides depart every few minutes, so your Everglades experience begins the moment you arrive. From endangered birds you won’t find anywhere else to small creatures that live among these wild alligators, you’ll see Florida as few people do.

Safari Wilderness Ranch

Have you ever encountered a herd of Red Lechwe running through sparkling water in the sun? Have you ever felt how soft an Eland’s nose is? These are memories you get to experience that will last a lifetime. Safari Wilderness Ranch is a world away from the hustle and bustle of civilization, and it is not a zoo or theme park. There are no crowds and no lines. Their knowledgeable and experienced tour guides will take you through large herds of exotic game over 260 acres of pristine wilderness in customized safari vehicles, fitted with shade canopies and stadium seating. If you prefer a more adventurous mode of transport, you can view the wild game with a guide by camelback, ATV, or kayak. You can also indulge your senses in an exclusive encounter with ring-tailed lemurs; these natives of Madagascar are primates and like us have tactile pads and fingernails. Their gentle touch is similar to that of a human baby, a few lucky individuals per day accompany our professional animal caretakers in their daily feeding. This experience is unforgettable! 

Bok Towers Gardens
