gulf coast gator ranch & airboat swamp tours

Was not sure what to expect as we went in February, but we really enjoyed it. My first airboat ride and it was fun. If you're looking for something to do in the gulf coast you should drop in.

After driving 35 miles to ride in airboat, etc. was told the wait was 1 1/2 hour because the boat was broke down. The woman in the store seemed to be the only person there. Didn't see anyone working on a boat. Wasn't offered walking tour, show or anything. I guess when you live w gators you have a gator personality

We stopped in here since was daughter wanted to see some alligators. The air boat ride was about 25 minutes long, we didn't see a lot of gators on the ride but the ride was still fun. Got a little wet and muddy since we were sitting on the front row. Paid a little extra to feed the gators back at the ranch which was fun to watch them chase after the food. They bring out babies to hold and take a few pics. Overall it was a great visit.

Wonderful place to stop for about 2 hours and see gators of all sizes and take air boat ride. Very friendly staff. Would do this again.

There are a few sides to this business. There is an airboat ride, an alligator viewing swamp & pens and then the Alligator Boys (which I have never heard of before but I understand are on Animal Planet).This is not a swamp tour. It is a ride in an airboat with an un-mufflered 450 big block engine that rips around in circle in a big pond. You do not see alligators, why would you when you are ripping through their habitat. You also do not explore the natural flora and fauna of the swamp, but it is fun.The alligator viewing swamp is also fun and interesting. Feeding the alligators was fun but the big turd like food chunks really smell.The business seems to be run sort of haphazardly. We waited for a good hour before asking if we could go out to the airboats and wait. The woman at the desk ok'd that so we went out. The guy at the boat thought we were the only people waiting so he took us out for our airboat ride without taking all of the other people waiting in the lobby.....nice for us but not so much for the rest of the people.If you are short of time and can't find a better place to explore the swamp in an airboat, try this but given the chance to do it again I would find another place.

It was a great experience. Very laid back with plenty of time to look around. Staff was great with kids. They loved holding the baby gator. Awesome to see these huge gators right in our own back yard.

Air boat tour was the best Saw a 10 FT Gator that swam up to the boat! Feed the gators and held a small one. We went and saw the show. Worth the trip.

Alot to see airboat ride was great worth the time and price staff was great and very accommodating good family fun will go again

We saw and fed the gators while we waited for our airboat ride. It was interesting to see them up so close. We would of loved to see a show, but it didn't damper our visit. The airboat ride was so much fun. Our driver had a good sense of humor and made sure we enjoyed it. It's not expensive and worth the drive.

Doesn't cost much and it is fun to feed the gator chow to the gators. We didn't do an airboat ride...just walked around. Came too late to see a show likely would have been fun. My kids wanted to stop in because of the Gator Boys show connection. One thing I couldn't firgure out was the point of the ranch. Was it educational? Rescued gators? Gator farming? Of just a road side attraction to see gators up close?

The staff was unfriendly. No one ever came and offered to hold a baby gator like they said they would when we paid. Took a total of 20 minutes to look and we left. Waste of gas.. very disappointed.

This was a family vacation and we were wanting to take an airboat ride. We planned on doing one in NOLA but I saw the sign and decided to stop. I am glad I did. We had a blast riding the airboat around and we also saw Andy Riffle from gator boys. My sister loves the show so this was the highlight of her vacation.

I was vacationing in biloxi with my husband and my daughter and her family and took a spur of the moment trip to the ranch. It was easy to find and the prices were good, we all enjoyed the tour, especially my grand kids, we got to hold a baby gator and the staff was very informative, we did not take the airboat ride because the grandkids were scared but we got to see Andy wrestle a gator- we really enjoyed this trip and learned a lot about gators and were very entertained. I would reccomend that anyone Vacationing in the area take the time to drive out and see this, and dont expect anything fancy, the facility is very basic. On the drive from Biloxi there are several interesting things to see.

Worst most unorganized rip off. Rode around in a small 4 acre pond. Never saw a Gator. Save your money and go some where else.

My family and I visited the gator ranch and it was the best our airboat ride was beyond words our guide Kyle is the best ....we will be back
