Lovely Ride - Captain Darrin was wonderful, his authentic cajun accent adds character to the ride. The ride was very calm and beautiful. We saw lots of wildlife and the tour was definitely our favorite part of our trip to New Orleans! We would definitely do again!

Very enjoyable! - Very relaxing, peaceful experience our guide was witty and made the experience fun and was very knowledgeable, I suggest this tour wasn't to long or to short and we got to see a few gators and it was raining out and having that boat with a roof on it made it perfect. Thank you

Bayou Beauty - Casual journey through the bayou and canals not too far from NOLA w/ kind folks and beautiful flora x fauna. Very knowledgeable captain and lots of gators made this one fun for all ages. Enjoyed birds, turtles, a snake and some jumping fish on a nice quiet day on the swamp before heading to the airport.

Great tour of the swamp... - Great tour of the swamp and bayou area. Was hoping for a bit more Jean LaFitte history but it was more of a nature tour (which is also great). Saw lots of gators and birds.

It said water pop snacks... - It said water pop snacks included when they are for sale. Very reasonable. Great driver, Jason, had seen a lot of wildlife. 7 or so alligators, egrets and terns and eagles nest.

VERY Unprofessional! - SCAMMERS!! BEWARE! We were scheduled for a tour at 4pm. On the instructions it says starts at 4pm with 10 min for admission and 1.5 hour for the tour. We arrived at 4:02pm. The office lady calls us exactly at 4pm to tell us the boat is leaving. We told her if they could just wait 2 minutes as we’re pulling into the driveway. They didn’t wait. We drove all the way from New Orleans but our uber driver had to stop for gas in between and that’s what made us late. They should have mentioned on the website to arrive at 3:50 with sharp departure at 4pm. They didn’t refund the money and said we have a credit for a year. We live out of state. Who is coming back just for a swamp tour. I think this is a money making scam. The fact that they couldn’t wait 2 minutes and it’s the last tour for the day. Very big let down. Ended up having an 80 dollar uber ride for no reason.
