Reviews of Gulf Coast Gator Ranch & Tours (Travel Agency)

Nex amous

Absolutely must visit! Great people, experience, and animals!

Chris Watson

Never seen but 1 gator when we went out on the airboat.

Derek Hanson

Took our family to Gator Ranch and the people are super friendly and knowledgeable. We took an airboat Ride with our family of 5 and I can tell you the ride is exhilarating, fun, and safe. The pilot/captain can needle that airboat like thread through those backyard stream. Very fun and educational.

Patty Miles

Had a great airboat ride our captain showed us fun and taught us a few things

mike Tumm

Captain sam gave a great ride and is very knowable great experience!

Jill Casey

We had a great time! Boat ride was super fun, the kids loved feeding the alligators, and the staff was very friendly.

Aaron James

Airboat ride was awesome. Alligators were plentiful.

Bryan Jones

Loved this experience, our guide was awesome, and knew how to make the experience fun. We left wanting more, and will most likely be back.

Reba Moon

Second time going and I still loved it just as much as the first time. Very awesome experience.

joshua walton

Airboat tour was excellent and to hear the stories about each alligator that we seen was awesome.

Tim Hardage

Lots to gators to see and pet. Capt Frog, our guide, was friendly and knowlegable.

Rick Acree

Very small and short tour for the money. The kids did like it but it was much better when the gator boys were there

E. B.

Good value for my money. We only did the "walking tour". The walking tour is merely a boardwalk through part of the swamp. You will see plenty of gators, big and small. The staff are very friendly and have plenty of information if you ask. Informative plaques about gators would be nice along the boardwalk, but I imagine the boat tour did that. Don't miss it if you're in the area. Holding the baby gator was really neat.

Jennifer Schelly

Very roadside zoo feel, but friendly staff and so cool to see the Gators up close in a safe environment. Swamp boat tours were interesting and we only had to wait 30 minutes for one on a random Friday. You can tell the staff really cares for the animals and their welfare. Generally the staff will take a baby gator out for you to pet. There is also the upsell of the gator food. Restrooms are all plywood, but clean.

montana aikman

Very good and fun on the airboat tour

matt brazzel

Frog is the coolest. Will recommend to anyone to go take an air boat ride.

Google User

Love it Clean Nice and Very Very Friendly..Boat ride is a little steep but other than that I love this place..

Nessa Love

Ashton was such a helpful knowledgeable young man. Eva was simply amazing to my family and I and Sam was super awesome Captain better ride than a roller coaster!!!! We will be back yall rock

Christy Case

Last minute we decided to stop and check out the Gator Farm. Sure glad we did! The staff is so friendly, I applaud their efforts on conservation and the air boat was a blast. We had Captain Frog he was a blast, even stopped and took pictures of my husband and I. If your by here go and have fun.

Patricia Jack

Great place to take the kids!

Alvin Osthoff

Very fun loved the place

Margaret Holland

We had a really great time on the airboat tour! The Gator Ranch is really not worth stopping for, but the airboats are AWESOME!! And, you get to walk through ranch if you do a boat tour. It’s $30 plus tax plus a 3.5% credit card fee (dumb!) if you don’t pay in cash per person.

Jared Woodard

Really fun great people would love to go again

Jan Hollingsworth

Great exciting tour. Loved holding the baby alligator.

Marti Thornton

The air boat ride is where the fun is at. So much to learn, see, feel and experience. You will certainly not forget it. Each person on staff is there to help make your experience truly memorable.

Jamie Tew

Great people!!! Very knowledgeable...

hailey Robinson

Our guide was great, very interactive. Overall awesome experience!

Todd Slater

Lots of Gators. Babies are adorable. Wish there was more boardwalk

Hans I

Fantastic experience and a great way to get a sense of respect for the American Alligator. Absolutely stunning creatures and a uniquely close experience with them.

TheMysteryMen72

This place is amazing and the staff is exceptional! Will definitely go back!

Doug W

Don't let the outside appearance fool you. It may look kinda run down, but the experience is AWESOME. The shear number of gators, and some of their sizes, is amazing. For the low price of $1, you can get a cup of marshmallows and feed the gators...and boy, do they react! HIGHLY recommend the airboat ride. It costs $30/person and includes the walking tour, as well as about a 20 min ride in the surrounding swamp. The guide we had made it fun as well as informative The people who run this are friendly and very knowledgeable. Definitely a must see if you're on the MS gulf coast!

Trista Kipp

Great crew! Very interactive!

Stefanie ?

Jason was the best! He is very knowledgeable and makes learning fun. We all had a blast! We will definitely be back

Regina McCawley

Great place! Perfect for the whole family. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Got to hold and pet a baby Gator!!!

James Costello

It was worth it to pay to see the gators, if you haven't seen them up close. They had alligators of many different ages and it was fun to watch them feeding them. Not so much for the boat ride, since there wasn't much area to see and we only saw one gator.

Don OBrien

You get the chance to hold a alligator. The airboat ride is a must.

val naylor

Great boat ride and lots of gators

Dennis LeRoy

Fun ride in a powerful air boat. Plan to get wet. Not many gators to see outside the compound. Nice variety of gators from tiny to huge are on display. Does not compare to Gatorland in Orlando.

Slippy squad

Fantastic place to stop and see some nature. The gators were amazing and the staff was very friendly. Our group of 10 loved the airboat ride. They let the kids hold a baby alligator, super fun.

Tim Ives

Found this place through Harvest Hosts, what a fun stop. We opted for the walking tour. Bobby was a hoot. Made the experience fun overall. Reasonable prices all around.

River Bilbrey

The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my time there!

Patricia Warren

This place is great alligators and an airboat ride reasonably price and a fun experience. I recommend Going if you get the chance.

Tom Swift

If you want to see gators, they got plenty! Air boat rides too.

Shannon Shorey

A great time once again!! Our tour guide was Anthony and he did a great job!!! Worth checking out. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of big gators! Airboat ride is lots of fun!!!

Cindy Wraight

So much fun. Airboat ridrs very well priced. Pleasant people. Grand daughter loved it!

Amanda Allen

My boyfriend lives in Arkansas so I thought this would be a fun trip and I'm glad we came! He was impressed with how large some of the gators are and we both got to hold a baby! The people are very nice and even a little interactive with the feeding time.

James Michael Stewart

Awesome stop on your way through Mississippi! Be sure to take the air boat ride.

Jo Dill

The place is awesome. You get right up to the fence, face to face with some of the largest alligators alive. You can also see and feed newborns and hold one if you would like. Take a ride on the airboat with a friendly guide to see some gators in thier natual habitat.

Sean Butler

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and lots of alligators. Easy to find too!

Dank Diddy

Tim was an excellent Airboat captain and guide. Such a fun, friendly place.

Alana Wooley

We had such a great time here. The people that run the place are super sweet and nice. They have gators of all sizes and you can buy cups of food so you can feed the gators. If you do the air boat tour you won't be disappointed but don't sit in the front if you don't want to get wet.

Jeff Hoot

This place was a great stop on the way to Florida!

Matt Feldbruegge

Excellent experience. I would highly recommend this gator experience. You are able to feed the alligators, hold baby alligators, see them walk in by a blind alligator and attempt to feed it a couple feet away. The airboat was also alot of fun. We were able to see them feed the alligators marshmallows, see an alligator den and learn about the animals. This would be complete with some fast turn around the swamp.

Susan Martin

Very friendly. Very attentive. Made sure we had a great time and saw the wildlife. First rate service.

Nick Kepers

This place was amazing. For $30 you get a fantastic tour of the swamp, our tour guide Jason was very professional and humorous and made the tour worth the 5 star rating. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for a great time!

Alisha Robinson

We spoke with Ashton and Sam the most and they were very informative and in love with their jobs! It was great to see! The walk was a little short but still awesome with many things to see. Ashton was very helpful and informative about the alligators during the walk and was a pleasant young man to talk to. Captain Sam handled our airboat very well and was very knowledgeable about our surroundings. Will be back if we are ever in the area again!

Toni Summers

Great experience. Prices are reasonable. The airboat ride is definitely a must. My boys loved the captain doing donuts in the water. Nice breeze so you're not too terribly hot. They have tons of big gators in the fenced in area. They will even open their mouths as you walk by. My boys thought that was really cool. We definitely will be visiting again.

Jake Priest

Went here as an adventure stop on our honeymoon! Great memories made!! Our tour guide (outlaw) Tim was fantastic and very passionate about his work! Definitely worth it!! Loved seeing tons of gators up close & even hold a baby one!

Danielle Peavy Peters

Sam was our tour guide and he was nothing short of amazing!! He was very entertaining and informative. He answered all of my husbands million of questions

Rob Babcock

Its neat and the swamp tour was cool. But price is high for value. Worth a visit to kill time for sure.

Patricia Sturges

Our boat captain Jason was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. We will definitely be bringing all of our out of town guests for a ride.

JESSENIA ECHEVARRIA

Great time with the kids.. was great

Eric little

Pulling into this business I was a little apprehensive but they are in the process of painting their building and making it look better from the road. So, that being said do not let it's outward appearance sway you! This was a very fun experience on the airboat and seeing some Gators a lot closer than we can in Missouri. The staff was very friendly and a lot of fun to talk to, and I will recommend this to anyone in the area looking for something to do in the area.

Lonnie Segura

Fun to visit lots of info. On gators,and air boat ride was fun. Cost not too high.

Ivy Pendleton

It was awesome!!! Captain Tim was amazing and we would recommend it to anyone

BBOND

The boat tour is a must if you come here. Its was awesome getting to see the gators up close.

DARK CONFECTION1

Great tour!!! SAM was AWESOME. first time going will be back

Ann Vinson

Wonderful place. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend anyone to visit. The experience is great.

Steven Turner

Amazing experience. Our Captain, "Outlaw" did a great job. Our young boys enjoyed it, ages 4 and 5. Fan boat is worth the price. T-shirts and souvenirs are maybe a tad pricey, but we bought some anyways.

Mike Mcdowell

This is a definite must do if you are near it. Lots of big gators. Was awesome to feed them and hear them hissing.

LaDonna Stapleton

This place rocks! Friendly people who share great information about alligators and who keep a nice shop. The airboat ride was so much fun! But you'd better hold on when he tells you to, otherwise you might become part of the swamp! Have fun!

Mark Haskell

We pulled into the Gulf Coast Gator Ranch and inquired about an airboat tour. Captain Frog was just about ready to take another couple out and was happy to have two more aboard. After supplying us with ear protection we headed towards a bayou in search of alligators. It wasn't long at all before we sighted the first alligator. Or was it that he sighted us? Not sure that marshmallows are nutritious alligator food, but Captain Frog tossed one if the water and the gator didn't hesitate to gobble it down. We spun and zoomed all over this bayou as our Captain demonstrated how versatile an airboat is in this kind of an environment. He had a smile on his face as he showed off the capabilities of his craft. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the opportunity to see wild alligators up close. Back at the ranch we met lots more gators. This is where "nuisance" alligators end up when they are captured in southern neighborhoods. A chain link fence separated them from us and allowed for some close-up photography without concern for becoming an alligator snack. We were able to feel how smooth their skin is by holding a youngster. A rubber band temporarily secured its jaws. We stayed until feeding time. These animals that looked like they were asleep showed how quickly they could move when chicken appeared!

teresa hunt

I really enjoyed my visit here!! I recommend stopping by if you come to the coast!!

thorleif nilsen

Nice quiet place along the road. Little difficult to spot, but then again just make a U turn. You can get quite close to the gators there, and you can also hold a baby gator. The airboat tour could have been a little bit longer, and over a bigger distance. But all in all a nice experience.

tyler partin

My wife and I stayed over night in Biloxi and on our way to Florida saw an advertisement for this. We paid 22 dollars for the walking gator tour and a cup of gator chow. Needless to say this was well worth the money. Several gators that all have names and the young man there holding the baby alligators (sorry I forgot to catch your name.) was super knowledgeable on everything. My 10 month old daughter even got to pet an alligator! We had a great time it is a cool place and well worth the money. We did not do the airboat ride due to our baby not being old enough. An older group in front of us said it was worth it an alot of fun. I will definitely return if I am in the area. I have been to bigger gator parks but this was by far the coolest and most fun I have had at one! Well worth the stop!

eagles flywitheagles

Have been here twice! Each time, the experience is just as awesome. The weather was nice so the Gators were out and abundant. The swamp boat ride is 30 minutes and it's a whole lot of fun. You'll learn a lot also.

Megon Manuel

The "InTimigator' was an awesome guide... Absolutely loved every thing about the experience!

Kendra Voges

Did the airboat and feed alligators marshmallows.

Cool place to see gators and swamp boat rides

TIM Babbit

Nice quiet boat ride looking at gators. Friendly fun staff. Was a fun experience. Ty

Sheree Claudio

This place is fantastic! We had so much fun on the air boat tour. Captain Sam was an AMAZING guide. He not only made our tour memorable, but his knowledge on the American Alligator and down to earth personality was impeccable. Well worth the money spent! Our group ranged in age from 7-60, and everyone enjoyed it ❤️.

Karen Idso

Really cool place to see gators. You can feed them and also take a airboat tour. They have little gators you can hold. Great place to take the kids.

Apryl Hall

Had a blast taking the walking and airboat tours. This family owned business was hospitable and super friendly. They answered all of my questions and were very entertaining. I highly recommend this for families, dates, or anytime you want something out off the beaten path!

Marla Voss

What a fun experience! The airboat ride was great. My son especially enjoyed when the driver started hotdogging and doing the "Tokyo drift" moves. I even saw a tiny two-inch baby alligator climbing a fence post!

Beth Ann

Very interesting! Tours were informative and fun.

Bradley Courtney

Really cool folks...I learned alot

Robert Weidknecht

An amazing place with down home folks who really love what they do. Driver was a great guide and made sure everyone had a good time. Well worth every penny.

Misty Blair

We came in right after the last swamp tour left so we just did the gator walk... Our toddler enjoyed it as well as us being amazed at how BIG these Gators are in person... Since we were there so late we did get to talk to the staff... Learned quite a bit... loved the art on the fence ...

Barb Long

Captain Sam was great and the gators and boat trip amazing.

Joshua Mcintyre

Awesome place to take the kids and the air boat ride was really fun

Michael Manus

The Ranch is awesome! Not only was Sam's ride a great time, but the actual gators on the ranch were so cool to see! I recommend asking to feed them!

Miranda Mindham

Love love love! The entire experience was amazing! All the members of the crew were incredibly friendly, informative and open from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The tour was worth the price and I will definitely return in the future!

Elizabeth Newman

Excellent captain Sam! Had a great time

Desiree Spellings

Excellent time. You can feed the gators. Loved it.

Jennifer Goldblatt

So much fun. Got to see and feed lots of gators. Boat ride was awesome. Our guide, Jason, made it so much fun. We learned a lot of facts in a fun way. A must see adventure. We came all the way from Oregon to see it

Lisa Adkins

So much fun. The ride was smooth and educational. Also definitely pay the money to get the food, we got the best shots that way. Best part you really get to hold and pet a baby alligator!!!

Cara Arneecher

The staff are fantastic and super knowledgeable. We were the only ones there (bc of rain) and they treated us like royalty. LOVED IT. Definitely a must visit.

Christine Wright

Learned a lot and enjoyed the experience.

Linda Rael

We visited here on vacation and had so much fun! Our guide was awesome (I don't remember his name but he was fairly tall and skinny). Definitely go here if you are in the area. It won't disappoint!

Annette miliken

Nothing to it, the boat ride was nothing but wasted money and time

obi da great

Great place to visit. Alligators galore from small to large. Airboat ride was great!

leaann stockus

Great place wish the alligator farm was bigger. Swamp boat ride was a blast. But lack of alligator sightings during it was disappointing (only 4)

Stephanie Grissom

Awesome time Highlight of our trip!! Great staff and tour guide Jason was awesome!

Adam Bickley

The airboat ride was a blast! It was too cold to see many alligators while we were there, but they said there were many more during warmer months. Got to feed some pretty big alligators by the entrance as well as hold a baby. We had a great time!

Daisey Appleseed

This was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had! It was very educational and a lot of fun. The staff was amazing and it was just one heck of a good time!!

Krista Bosco

This place was well worth the money. Mr. Frog was an excellent air boat captain! Tons of gators, both at the farm and in the swamp.

Cheryl Jones

Had a wonderful time today at this place. Frog gave us an enjoyable and fun boat ride. Definitely recommend this place. Great start to our vacation.

Lindsay Hobbs

Gulf Coast Gator Ranch and Tours has some of the friendliest workers ever. That alone made the tour worth it! Jason the tour guide was super cool and went above and beyond to give us a good time.

Jennifer Berens

We were recommended by a friend to visit the Gulf Coast Gator Ranch while we were on our summer vacation last week. I highly recommend you visiting the Ranch and taking an Air Boat Tour through the swamps. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The staff and owners really takes great care of the gators and property. I high recommend you stopping at the Ranch if you are passing through Moss Point. Jennifer Berens - NJ

Ann Hunter

Bargain! Very fun and educational. The walking tour brings you up close and personal with the gators. We did not have time to do the air boat ride, but that gives us a reason to go back.

LaSarah Ricketts-Deshauteurs

Smaller walking tour than expected. 'Sanctuary' is a bit far-reaching. Gators are basically living on top of one another and their babies are stolen and put in an incubator as soon as the eggs pop out. I'm not a fan of that. Too much like slavery for my taste. 4 stars because you will get the experience you're looking for here. Cajun lingo and all.

Nicholas Taylor

Had an absolute blast on the airboat and the walking tour is awesome! Got to hold a baby gator and feed some adult ones!

Steve Mitchell

Great tour today on the swamp. Fantastic weather and what an experience. Very friendly people, with lots of gators to see. The air boat tour was the most fun with the drifting & spins that the guide did for us. Would highly recommend.

matthew arbor

Great people, awesome experience. Well worth the money. I went with 4 friends and there were 8 on the boat. Let me tell you these guys aren't out there to just show you some Gators, there out there to give you a wild ride. Bottom line. Do this, don't miss out. Best thing we've done in Mississippi so far!

Amy Rabideau

The folks at Gulf Coast dont disappoint! They are eager to share their knowledge and love of gators.The gators weren't moving much but that air boat sure was! Another awesome trip.

Shawn Fickies

Awesome place hope to visit again some day.

JoHanna Ellerbe

Amazing place. Jason was hilarious and was amazing with my children, especially since my 8 year old daughter cried on the airboat ride. Which was no fault if his, she just doesn't like to try new stuff but not the end she wanted to go again. They are also very knowledgeable about their gators.

Anthony Ghost

We had so much fun we did the air boat tour and walking tour the staff was phenomenal and we loved learning about the gators you can also buy gator food and feed them they have great souvenirs.. I highly recommend them if you are looking for something fun to do you will not be disappointed!!!

Christen B

Such a cool experience! Saw a few gators in the water on the boat tour and even more in the farm area. The boat tour lasted about 30 minutes and the farm area could last for as long as you want to stare at the HUGE gators. Seriously - they were enormous. Fun adventure for adults and children. Get ready for a ride if you've never been on an air boat.

Nancy Engelhardt

We had the best time ever! Saw some gators and the best tour guide ever! Had an education on the gators, so bring the family for some learning and some fun too. If your in the area take the time and enjoy the ride! Its worth it!!!

Ryan Reiff

This was a great place to stop. It was fun, lots of laughing with the family.

David Nagel-Nunez

This was an amazing experience! They have a little mini zoo where you can see the alligators up close before the tour. During the tour, we saw some alligators and went on a thrilling ride in the swamp in the airboat. Also, the tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. And at the end, they let me hold a baby alligator! I definitely recommend this place - Great value for the price!

Sarah Busam

100% recommend this place if you are in Mississippi. The boat tour was fun and the farm was amazing. I even got to hold a baby alligator. Staff was friendly.

Jeremy Wilson

Fantastic! Sam, our guide and captain was amazing. Super nice guy with lots of local knowledge and a great driver. We had a blast!

Tamyron Garlich

People there nice as can be, owner himself took us on a boat because place was busy & they were a little short-handed. Great customer service! LOTS of gators to be seen right up close - good tour!

Keith Rasmussen

Fun tour, farm side has a lot of gators, some raised, others captured and brought in because of injury or nuisance. Option swamp boat ride costs extra but worth it in my opinion, you get to see a few gators in the wild plus experience the swamp boat. Staff is friendly and we were lucky to see them feeding the gators.

Jeff Whitfield

Gators, Gators, Gators.... We had a great time here. Great place for kids and family's. The Airboat was fantastic. We got to see the gators out in the wild, some great photo opportunities, great experience, great everything. I will be going back.

David Buchanan

Really neat place to see and feed some alligators. We didn't take the airboat your due to our own time constraints. Staff was friendly. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Marcie Carter

Great place customer service excellent!

Joenica Weidknecht

Loved this tour! The boat driver was so much fun

Kellee Dixon

Had a wonderful time, learned a lot about the gators- especially enjoyed the airboat ride with Tim and Chad - particularly the “Hold-On” part!!! We’ll Be back!!!

Geffrey Caruso

Good fun and great guide. The kids really got a kick out of the airboat.

Dilia Lynch

Tim was a great tour guide! Tons of fun for the whole family.

James

See and feed wild and captive gators. The staff here are amazing and you can even hold a gator! The boat tours look awesome, but we have a baby so we couldn't do it. We will definitely be back here some time soon.

Garrett G

Soooooooo much fun!!!! Do this. Simply do this. The boat operator was knowledgeable and friendly. The gators are huge!! The airboats are awesome!
