What a great experience! Travelled from Orlando with Gray Line, with Mauricio our driver. Then picked up the 1 hour airboat ride with Captain Wayne. It was so much fun, and Captain Wayne was great at spotting alligators and a huge variety of birds (the Florida snail kite was my favourite!) and positioning the airboat so photos could be taken. Ear defenders were provided, which was great, especially if we were heading across Boggy Creek at speed! That's a lot of fun.
Mauricio was nice and chilled, not rushing us away too fast at the end of the ride, so there was time to look around the exhibits and gift shop.
All in all, a great trip out and I'm glad I went for the 1 hour airboat option.
One tip, dress warmly, it's chilly when the airboat is at full speed.
