Wild florida - is it worth a day?

[abiknox]

Another fan here, we had a great airboat ride (first thing as we heard this was the most likely time to spot the big gators). We then spent a lovely few hours in the wildlife part of the park.

It's a beautiful spot and I know next time we go we will book onto a ranch buggy tour too. They looked great!

Just reread your original post. Day 27/28, WOW.

Have you got long left there? That's some holiday.

That's the worst part of a really long hol, even harder to come home. Hope you've something nice planned for last day.

The animal bit is very small and we struggled to spend an hour there.

We're thinking of going tomorrow, is it an easy drive? (We don't have a sat nav and will be going from I drive) hubby has seen a tour that leaves at at £69 each and returning at 2pm, do we drive ourselves or get driven!?

We found it an easy drive once out of Orlando and heading in the right direction as it's pretty much a straight road. Can you download a sat nav app to your phone? There are some you can use offline without data that are meant to be good. I don't know which ones, but see ones recommended on here regularly, so I'm sure you'd get suggestions if you ask.

Personally, I don't think it's worth £69pp for an afternoon out (what's included for that?), but others may disagree.

That's an hour airboat ride and a pick up there and back, airboat ride on the website is £51 each

[loves2plan]

Booking the airboat ride direct is $47.50 each. Looking at their online booking system they only have 2pm, 3.15pm and 4.30pm tours available, so not sure if the tour that you've found with transport has some precooked seats? You don't want to buy it and then discover you can't use it tomorrow.
