With everything from wildlife preserves to farms and a zoo, there are lots of options for animal-related fun in the state. However, nothing quite compares to the airboat rides at Gulf Coast Gator Ranch. Taking passengers on a high-speed adventure straight into the heart of gator territory, it’s the ultimate Mississippi day trip.
There’s no better place to take a walk – or ride – on the wild side than Gulf Coast Gator Ranch in Moss Point!

The wildlife sightings on airboat rides aren’t limited to alligators, though. Birds and other marine life are also often spotted on the tours.

Fun for all ages, the airboat swamp tours are pretty popular. Fortunately, the tours depart every half hour, so there’s never a long wait.

Though not as fast-paced as the airboat rides, the walking tours consist of beautiful walkways and up-close gator views. You can even handle and feed them!
