If you are running Late, please call us as soon as you can so we can work with you to make your day enjoyable – we want you to be happy and have a fun day at Lox Tours. Customers who do not show up for their tour time and do not call us by 48 hours before their tour are not eligible for a Refund.

This policy is to ensure all our customers are boarded safely and on-time to maximize their enjoyment of their tour.

Q: How can I check on the weather conditions the day of my tour?
A: You may check our website weather, or call us directly at 561-901-0661 to get current weather and possible cancellation updates on the day of your tour.

Q. What time do the tours start?
A. We open at 9:30 am, first tour departs at 10:00 am, and the last boat departs by 2:30 pm. This information may change at any time without notice.

Q. How much do the tours cost?
The 50 minute tour is $80.00 for adults and $45.00 for children.
Prices can change, so please check our pricing schedule for updates.

Q. Do you have any discounts or Groupons?
A. By booking online you are receiving a 25% discount. Tour prices include tax.

Q. How many people on each boat?
A. The boats are various sizes and hold between 8 to 16 adults (if there are children, sometimes more people will fit on the boats).

Q. Do you have an alligator show or animals to hold?
A. We are an eco-tourism business, and therefore we do not cage, pen, or feed any wildlife, which often leads to cruel conditions for the animals, or in the case of feeding, very dangerous conditions for visitors (which is why feeding wildlife like alligators is illegal, Statute 372.667). We respect the environment and the creatures that live here, and you can SAFELY enjoy them in their natural habitat!

Q. What happens if the weather is bad?
A. If for any reason we are unable to conduct our tours, we will contact you by using the booking contact information you’ve provided. We will either reschedule you or give a full refund if you are unable to come back.

Q. What do you see out there?
A. You may see American alligators, various birds, turtles, native and exotic plant species, fish and sometimes frogs and snakes. We view animals in THEIR environment and according to their schedules. Weather, such as temperature, plays a big factor in wildlife viewing opportunities.

Q. Why do we need to be here 30 minutes before our tour?
A. Sometimes it may take longer to get to us than you think. There are things like traffic delays, construction, and even just the time of year that can slow traffic down. We need to stay running on our tour schedule; if one person is late, it can make every tour late for the rest of the day. We want happy tour customers, so please be sure to give yourself and your family or friends coming with you extra time to reach us, check-in, and get on the boat!

Q. What if I don’t have a printer available for my receipt?
A. You can pull it up for us on your smart device or, if you tell us your last name, we can look you up that way.

Q. What if we need to cancel or one person can’t make the tour?
A. Please call us at 561-901-0661 and we will do our best to reschedule you or Refund you.
