Geoff was top notch. Knowledgable, friendly, helpful patient and fun! Highly recommend you bring your family! We did the morning 1hour fun and educational tour. Cooler and the alligators are more active Geoff said. We will go again when back in the area for sure.
We had a great experience with Geoff yesterday. We lost count of the number of alligators we saw, including some teeny tiny ones. Geoff was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we enjoyed the thrills our first trip on an air boat. Very fast and smooth! Geoff also pointed us in the direction of a great spot for lunch afterwards. Thanks for some good memories:)
Great experience! It was simple to call and set up a time that worked for our group of 6. It was just us in the airboat and we saw tons of smaller alligators and a couple larger ones, which tend to get more scared and dive in the water. We were also able to pick up some speed, cruise through the water, and drift through several ally ways of water. Much recommended and Britney and Jeff were lovely owners
Airboat Express is an incredible family run business ! They were responsive and have great customer service . They were able to accommodate our family same day within an hour and half of us calling . Captain Geoff was extremely knowledgeable and just such a kind person! We truly enjoyed our fun run tour so much ! I highly recommend this tour with kids . It was the perfect amount of time for our three year old and you go fast! They are experienced , and we felt extremely safe and comfortable the entire ride . We saw four gators and two together which is uncommon .The scenery was beautiful . Tons of wildlife . We made the right decision with this company and had the best time ! We cannot wait to do this again! Thank you so much for making this a memorable experience!
We loved our tour with Geoff!! We did the 7am ride and it was great!! I've been on multiple airboat rides and this was my favorite!! Saw lots of gators & had some fun!! Highly recommend!! It's worth waking up early!!!
Great tour with Captain Geoff. Showed us plenty of gators (even babies!) and was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the area. Our GPS took us in circles so we were late but Geoff and Brittany accommodated us so we still made our tour. Excellent communication and a breeze from start to finish! Next to the Oyster House, great spot for an after ride beer!
First class experience!! Geoff gave my family a ride they will remember forever! Geoff bailed out a father who made a mistake and accidentally booked the airboat ride on the day after we left Mobile Luckily we showed up super early and Geoff was kind enough to save the day with a 5 minute go fast ride that my family loved and will remember forever. I can't thank you enough from the bottom of my heart!
Geoff and Brittany are a great team and it's obvious they are living their dream. We had a great time. Saw gators, birds, ducks, flowers, beautiful scenery. Not sure how you can leave without becoming a fan of the delta. It is relaxing, and exciting at the same time. Geoff is a great informative, knowledgable guide. He can drive the boat as if he is strumming a guitar. Highly recommend.

We took the grandchildren on a 1.5 hour Delta cruise and absolutely loved it. The tour guide and the deck hand know their history! The scenery was gorgeous and the weather cooperated well if a little warm. We're ready to book a few more cruises with them when the weather cools off a little more. Great job, guys!
This is a very nice park. It is free and has ample parking. There are nice walking trails along waterways, in woods and wetlands. Their gift shop is closed but all park trails are available. You can canoe or kayak here also, I saw some people do that. The welcome center is nice and they have maps of their trails. I saw birds, butterflies and flowers. It is such a nice free nature park.
My kids (8 & 10) and I spent a few hours here. The buildings had various native animals - both live and taxidermied - to look at. You can take a stroll down to the water behind one of the buildings. There are multiple walking paths available, as well. Be sure to use bug spray beforehand, and the mosquitoes are bountiful and hungry. The gift shop was not open when we visited (April 2025).
Very well maintained park. Lots of walking trails and the culture center has many cool animals and story boards.
It's hard to do a review of this place... The buildings... The infrastructure.. the gift shop are all great.. Top rate... BUT and it's a big but is that the interpretive exhibits we're very weak... Way there is just was your appetite for sooooo much more but it's just not there. Do however take time to go to the theatre and watch the video... It's absolutely great.
Great experience, we went on the 90 min cruise going through the delta around midday. Not alot of wildlife out at that time due to the heat, the captain suggested doing a morning or evening one for wildlife. The seats on the boat were wood and your back just rested against the railing or if you had a center seat you had no back rest. A bit overpriced for what it was and the seating become very uncomfortable after the first 1/2 hour so be sure to bring a cushion! The Delta center though was wonderful, lots of educational info about the area with live and taxidermy animals plus the delta center was free!
Arrived on a Saturday afternoon, found the visitor centre closed. Drove round the road, the place was deserted. Found a few buildings and were just about to leave when we saw a couple coming out of one so we tentatively went to investigate. Found some good taxidermy displays and information on snakes, some alive some not! The place has great potential but we were uncomfortable being alone in such a large and deserted place.
Been here for the Expo several years in a row and it's a fantastic experience for all ages. The nature exhibits inside are beautiful and informative as well.

It's such a lovely state park with so much history! It is very well maintained and I can't wait to camp here! The walking trails are very nicely marked to let you know if they are hiker/bike/horse safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful and also provided us with a map. I have more trips planned and can't wait to come back!
Great place to camp. We stayed in an RV site and it has full l hook ups. There are many trails, a few boardwalks and lots of history maintained here. We will be back when we can. I really recommend staying here.
Very peaceful, safe and quiet place to camp. Bath houses are brand new and very clean. Love riding the bicycles here, and there's so much to do in the surrounding areas. Gorgeous Mobile Bay is right in the background down by the Riverwalk. I could sit here all day.
This is one of my favorite places to camp. Been coming for 3 years and I still feel like I haven't explored everything. Great place if you love history. I always stay in the Harper loop, Delta is also nice if you want electricity, its just more in the open. I've also driven around the RV sites and they look great. Also have nice cabins. Bathrooms are alright, not the best not the worst, but generally clean. I few signs could use updating, however they've done a lot of improvements this past year. They always give my dog a treat at check in. Also yes this is nature. You will see animals. I've seen racoons, cats, many frogs, deer, and some really cool lizards. Love this place and will be back again and again!
Beautiful park with TONS of history. Trails throughout the park with lots of bike trails, horse trails and walking trails. The view of the sunset near the kayak launch is absolutely beautiful. Staff is also very friendly and campsites are well kept with clean bathrooms and showers on site. Well worth the visit!
The park is very big with lots of trails to explore. Beware of spiders they are the most prevalent thing you will see, sometimes blocking paths. But other than that it is perfect. We'll kept. Wide variety of wildlife and plants. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to be out in nature with plenty of shade and beautiful sights. Bathrooms and trash cans are plentiful. Also historical things to see. Have fun!!
We did the Delta Discovery Tour at midday. This tour is recommendable for keen bird enthusiasts not for visitors that like to see active wildlife. As the water is very shallow and brown there is not much to see. The crew gave a lot of information about history and bird life. Sometimes it was hard to understand their accent for us Europeans. We did other cruises in Florida and they were cheaper and much more to see.
Great place to visit with the family. Beautiful hiking and MTB trails. 4 stars because the map they hand out for the trails is not 100% accurate (use Strava or the trailforks app to navigate) and there were a few areas that still need repair. There was evidence of many repairs recently made, so I’m sure they are on schedule to be repaired soon. The RV sites are very nice. Ample parking and maneuvering space, relatively screened from adjacent sites. The park managers do a good job of spacing people out. :)

Slide 1 of 8
First time here. Meaher is a gorgeous state park. It's in close proximity to all kinds of things. Bathhouse/restrooms are clean and comfortable. Sites are spacious and spaced far enough apart. Beautiful views of the bay - at sunrise and sunset. Plenty of gators to be seen. Staff was super friendly. Went straight across the road, to the government building, and got my out of state fresh water fishing license. Full hook-ups uos were nice. The pedestal grill was OK- but the wind kinda makes it hard to grill on it. No fire pits at campsites but with the amount of pine needles carpeting the ground I understand why. No biggie. Be sure and sweep/blow needles off the tops of your slide outside before retracting tem in. Just a suggestion. Overall it is a lovely place and we will be back sometime.
A small but very beautiful park. The facilities (restrooms, showers, laundry) are well kept, the bathrooms being especially clean. They are currently adding new buildings and upgrading the park quite a bit. In addition to the well kept older wash buildings, there is a brand new wash house with each room having toilets, changing table, and shower. They have a brand new loop with paved, level sites; however, there is no shade in the new loop as all the trees were taken out to accommodate the new sites. Hopefully part of the long term plan is to put some trees in that area, as it can get extremely hot and the wind off the bay makes it hard to keep an awning or canopy in place. We struggled a little bit with the water pressure at our full hook-up RV site. The staff was so kind and accommodating, the boardwalk is perfect to catch a sunset. The boat launch is easily accessible to all sites. There is also a fishing pier, which we didn’t utilize but is also conveniently located within the park. The USS Alabama Memorial Park is a 10 minute drive from here, which was part of the reason we booked here to begin with. It’s also got groceries and restaurants nearby.
Came here for homecoming pictures. Absolutely gorgeous view and beautiful sunset. There were a few grasshoppers on the trail part. The park is well-maintained and has a grass pathway that leads to a pier overlooking the bay and causeway. It's really breathtaking.
For our girls trip, we found this park to tent camp while visiting the Mushroom Festival in Fairhope. We stayed at campsite 33, which is just steps from the water and has a little bench under a tree to sit on to enjoy the view of the Bay. There are water and electric at each site. The people here are so friendly and the facilities are clean. There is a coin laundry area, a kayak drop-in & rental, and a dock to walk out on to fish or just enjoy the view! Not every site has tree coverage so make sure if you want to have a couple of trees near you to just look up YouTube reviews that visit each site ... this is what helped me pick site 33 because I wanted to be near the water and have trees around us. We would definitely stay here again!!
Decided to stay one night while enroute to St. George Island. Park is very clean, sites are nice size, very level. We enjoyed a stroll on the boardwalk and saw an alligator eating its dinner. Showers/restrooms are clean. Each site has picnic table and grill, with full hook ups.
Great stop for a couple of hours - parked in a small shaded lot by the boardwalk. nice walk over the marsh - birds, turtles. saw lots of signs warning about gators but saw no gators. $3 per person for a day pass and they let us fill up our water tank at an open RV site. thank - you!!
Love it. Always nice people and clean/pretty park. Wish they had a second entrance lane for returning guest to enter without having to wait in line behind the cars checking in, but not a big deal. Also we typically just need to stay one night and they may require two nights during some times. Still 5 star place!
This state park is a great place for camping in a tent, or an RV. It offers excellent views of the water, and the majority of the lots have wide spacing between them. There are 2 bathhouses on site that are centrally located to the lots if needed. There is also a dock that is near the entrance offering an opportunity to fish and walk over the water. There is a boat slip that would be great for small boats and canoes and kayaks as well. I took one star away for this review due to a safety issue that seems like it could be very dangerous to those checking in after hours. There is an entrance gate to the park that is closed after hours at night. The issue with the gate is that it is located extremely close to the highway, so if it is closed and you are pulling up to the gate to enter in a passcode, your trailer will be sticking out into the highway while you wait for the gate to open. This is a huge concern of mine as it has the potential to cause a deadly accident at night for those checking in late. If the entrance gate were moved back allowing traffic to pull all the way into the entrance and not stick out into the highway it would be better and safer.

First time at this location, very nice, better than most. Good average all experience. Layout was easy to navigate, great service from the guys at the fishing reel desk were very helpful. One big difference at this location was the state sales tax, 11%, way more than my home state of FL. Overall nice store, great place.
First time in Bass Pro 😀 it's was definitely an interesting shopping experience. Lots of interesting things. You can walk on the pontoon boats and they have a .50 cent target shooting game. As well as a glass elevator. Awesome visit. Sales tactics are a little pushy as mentioned in other reviews, but all in all, it was an amazing experience. When you sign up and apply for a Bass Pro card, you get a free Hat and I noticed when you come to pay said card bill, you get a complimentary bottle of water with a Bass Pro label 😊
The air conditioner works too well!! I almost bought a hoodie just to stay warm in there! Haha. Great selection of clothing, exceptional the youth section. Seemed to be plenty for infants and that was all. Very clean and well kept!
Our first time visiting a Bass Pro Shops and it did not disappoint! We absolutely love this place!
Stopped into pick up a few fishing needs headed to the beach and very quite and slow tonight but the staff was still extremely nice and helpful plus found a boat i believe ill be back to buy tomorrow
The store was very clean and had a very good selection of outdoorsy products for everyone...
For years, I have loved Bass Pro Shop. Never had any issues, always had a good selection and solid items. Then I made a mistake that no one should ever fall victim to...do NOT EVER order online. We decided to go camping to surprise my 8 year old son. Since the trip was going to be the next day, we decided to do "store pickup" and grab some sleeping cots and supplies. Since I had to work, this would make it convenient for my wife to pop in and pick up the items. I made sure to select "In Stock" items only on the website and paid for my items. Later that morning she popped in and a few of the items were ready so she picked them up. They told her the rest of the items (except one) would be ready later that day (we were fine with the one item being later). So I dropped in after work to check on what was ready. Easy, right? WRONG. First off, they now told me most of the items were now shipping and wouldn't be in for weeks! Here's where it gets frustrating and why you should be wary...THE ITEMS ARE IN STOCK. And I was told I couldn't get them, they couldn't go pick them up and my only option was to PAY FOR THEM AGAIN and later get another refund! To give you an idea of how ridiculous this was...it was a $1300 order! So, I literally could've taken $1300 cash and walked in this morning and bought every item and been done in 30 mins, but me being "smart" decided to use their website and save some time. Yeah, right. I repeatedly told the store and their phone line that if ANYWHERE on the website had said "Items might be delayed" or "Low stock", I would've just gone to the store. Instead, I got a 2 hour lecture about how their retail stores, their website, and their shipping services all work apparently independently and don't have a clue what they're doing. I was told "we know it's a problem" so many times it was laughable and "we've been complaining about this for a long time." Well, never again. Whole order is cancelled (which of course, I have to wait for all the items to arrive at the store because they can't even cancel your order fast). I guess they figure there's plenty of people dropping $1300 on stuff to just wait for it to arrive a few weeks later that there's no reason to change. Sad, because before today, taking my kid to Bass Pro Shop to get some gear was a real treat. Way to go, corporate!
I love this store. I can easily find what I’m looking for, and their products are very reasonably priced. We have many avid outdoorsmen, hunters, fishermen, etc. in our family, and Bass Pro Shops is our go to place for all of our needs!!
