We enjoyed a comfortable, fun trip with a knowledge, personable guide. It was hot when we took our trip, and still saw a surprising amount of wildlife - fish, birds, butterflies, dragonflies, flowers, trees, turtles, and of course, alligators. Will be back on a cooler day!
We visited Tom & Jerry's over Labor Day weekend this year. It was a beautiful day. We learned that we were visiting during alligator season and that the alligators would be on high alert. We felt a little saddened thinking that was a nice way of telling us we wouldn't see any. Boy were we wrong. 1st thing we came upon a grouping of baby alligators and from there ended up seeing about 7 through the ride. We also were impressed that we were given our full time allotted for the ride even after we waited on other guest who called in saying they were on their way. Other places didn't ensure the same. We saw birds, turtles and learned a ton about the area. Captain Chad was an awesome guide with a great personality. We highly recommend taking a ride with them.
We had a wonderful time. It was a hot day but being out on the water was so refreshing. The wildlife is fabulous. This was my second trip. I highly recommend Tom and Jerrys.
Captain Chad was great!! He provided us with a great background of the area and explained to us the current conditions for the alligators. He knows the Lake really well and areas where the gators typically hangout. He explained much about the habitat. Chad pointed out birds, turtles, and plants that are special to the area. It was not only educational but fun. We saw baby and teenager gators. Office staff was also pleasant and helpful.
Capt Chad was the BEST! Had a blast and learned a lot, too. Baby gator sightings, adult gator sightings, turtles, and lots of beautiful birds. Even a snake in a tree just above our boat 😳 Gorgeous natural Florida on a bright sunny day
Wonderful staff who check you in and tell you where you need to go. They have games to play while waiting for our Captain. We had Captain Joe and he was so great. He told us stories and so kid friendly, he let my 7 and 2 year old sit in his seat. Super funny and personable. When we got back my daughter was able to hold the baby alligator, she was nervous at first but he worker was so kind and patient with her.
Capt Dexter was so much fun and knowledgeable! Talked about what animals we were seeing and where to look. My girls 8 and 10 loved the ride! Definitely a do again and highly recommend!
Fantastic adventure with Captain Kyle. I was shocked how many gators we saw. He knew all their hiding spots. He shared great scientific info along with funny stories. The property is well maintained. I never realized how beautiful the swamp is. I highly recommend visiting!
