    This was such a fun educational tour. Very hands on at your own comfort level! This is a rescue sanctuary, that houses abandon pets, rescued zoo animals. Giving them a longer happier life than being euthanized. A lot of the older gators and crocodiles had to be re located to this sanctuary due to humans feeding them out in the wild, teaching the gators that humans will feed them and causing the gators to come into close encounters with humans.

    Kiana was an amazing tour guide! Kiddos had a great time and their highlight was holding a small alligator and snake!

    Our guide Alexander taught us so much on this tour. We really enjoyed learning and seeing so many animals. He was very patient with answering all of the groups questions. Our kids had a blast

    This was by far one of the best, most informative wildlife experiences we have had as a family. DJ was an informative guide who had many "behind the scenes details." We learned so much about reptiles.

    Kianna was so awesome I had the best time ever! She answered all my question very knowledgeable. The money spent there goes to caring for these beautiful animals well worth every penny and it was very hands on!

    Highly recommend. My family and I had such a great experience at Croc Encounters, from ages 5 to 42, we all enjoyed ourselves. Our favorite moments were holding a ball python snake, feeding the tortoises and holding a baby alligator. Our guide Alexander was really knowledgeable and made sure we enjoyed our tour, really appreciate his efforts. We would definitely go back. If you have a chance to visit you should.

    Came with my family for a chance to see crocodiles and other reptiles. We were not disappointed! Kiara was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, very patient with the kids and gave good background on all of the reptiles! Would definitely recommend visiting.

    Alexander was a great tour guide! This experience was a cool way to see alligators and crocodiles, the tour had a good amount of both and we were given lots of information. It was a little bit pricey, being around $36 per person for a group of three, but it was worth it. I felt like the information online was a bit misleading regarding the tour grouping, but overall a very nice place to spend 2 hours seeing some cool reptiles, definitely recommend.

    The place is a little run down and definitely could use some help but the staff was extremely knowledgeable and nice and they have a ton of gators , I'd definitely recommend checking this place out , has a ton of potential

    Kiana was an amazing and very knowledgeable tour guide! She was super friendly and answered all of our questions. We would have never thought we could have Croc Encounter in Tampa super cool!! We would definitely go back!!

    Pearl the snake

    Such an awesome experience! Our Guide Luck was so friendly and informative. We started by holding pearl the snake and then went and saw crocs birds turtles gators snakes lizards. We fed big turtles and then fed a bunch of alligators. To top it off we got to hold smiley the smallest cutest gator ever. TIP: take bug spray Lots of mosquitoes

It highlights the growth, expansion, historical markers and people. Only about an hour and a half, the leisurely stroll past old cigar factories, gambling establishments and bar/restaurants is well worth it. The mafia had a hold on this little town for most of the 19th and 20th centuries. The tour included stops where many mobster "hits" occurred and houses where Ybor Mafiosi lived. Worth the time and money. Our 13-year experienced tour guide, Scott Deitche, related stories from mobster affiliates he actually had the opportunity to interview for his book, Cigar City Mafia.

    This excellent walking tour of Ybor City is an outstanding experience that locals, visitors,…read morenewcomers or anyone interested in the colorful, past of this multi-cultural community will enjoy. Manny Leto guided the group through decades of fascinating facts, very descriptive detail and really entertaining information while navigating through the busy streets to point out various landmarks and significant locations. The pace was easy and the total amount of walking was very manageable. Comfortable walking shoes and dressing for whatever weather awaits would be wise. To get the insights of author Scott Deitch presented in such a knowledgable and personable manner is really exceptional. The narrative never dragged and the information was provided in a very conversational manner. You won't feel like you are being lectured to or being read to from a script. This isn't strictly about Ybor's past but some of the shady characters and questionable activities (bootlegging and gambling, for instance) found throughout Tampa. Leto mentioned movies that have highlighted some of Ybor's history, prominent Tampa families who played a role in this community and blended in some basic history that helped to give everything, and everyone, context. Loved it, laughed at parts and learned lots.

It is $35 plus tax etc for all you can drink (alcohol/wine) boat ride for about an hr and a half. If you don't drink alcohol you can get all you can drink non alcoholic beverages as well. We arrived early and they started boarding on time. There were a few other ppl on our boat but it was not too crowded at all. I was afraid it was going to be a kiddie type with of event with the pirate theme but actually the kids were all on the lower deck being entertained by the workers. Most of the adults were on the top deck doing our own thing. The drinks were good! The bartender was friendly, as well as all of the other staff. Out of all the activities I did that weekend with my family this was by far my favorite. The ride was relaxing. The vibes were chill and they even had some music and had us join in the cha cha slide. We watched the sun go down and took pics. The weather was perfect that time of night and the views were phenomenal. I would definitely go on this exact boat ride again. I'm glad I chose this for my birthday. It is really a great value boat ride for the whole family to enjoy!
