The 90-acre sanctuary cares for animals such as big cats, wolves, bears, primates and smaller cats. All the rescued animals live out the rest of their lives free from harm in large natural habitats, where the sanctuary’s highly trained staff ensures that their medical, nutritional, and emotional needs are well met.Guided educational tours must be reserved in advance and give visitors the unique opportunity to get as close as five feet from animals ranging from tigers and black leopards to bats and monkeys.

Nav-A-Gator Riverboat Tours
Tours depart daily from the docks of the Nav-A-Gator grill lasting approximately two hours. Traveling through the Florida wilderness, keep your eyes open for manatees, turtles, panthers, bobcats, eagles and ospreys as your guide explains the history of the early Pioneers and Indians. For those wanting something more personal why not rent a replica cargo canoe like the ones used to transport people and supplies in the 1800’s. Your experienced guide will explain the flora, fauna, history and wildlife as you paddle in this relaxing area of the Peace River.
