Very Enjoyable! - I was so grateful for the transport to get to and from the swamp boat ride. I enjoyed the boat ride and the driver who told us all about the area and the wildlife. He stopped and let us see the alligators and other wildlife and explained their habitat well. It was a very relaxing ride and it was nice to have the cover over the boat to keep it cooler.

Small boat well worth the extra! - Took the small airboat tour. It was hot and sunny but so much fun! Our guide was knowledgeable and really good with the gators! You do get to hold a baby gator which is the highlight of the trip. Had a wonderful time.

Great wildlife and nature tour in the swamp and bayou near New Orleans - Great 10am tour with Captain Brent. We saw all sorts of wildlife: alligators, several species of egrets, bald eagles. Captain Brent was very knowledgeable and showed great pride and respect for the Louisiana environment. We had a great check in with Jackie. She was genuinely welcoming and friendly. A good selection of gifts and souvenirs in the gift shop. Sodas, water and snacks available for purchase during the 90 minute tour

Beautiful bayou - Although it says swamp tour we did not go into a traditional swamp as you’d see on tv. The bayou is lovely and I can see why they love it here. Alligators galore and our guide Jason knew where to find them. Loved the owls too. They had bathroom facilities and you can purchase drinks and snacks in shop or in boat. Recommend this tour.

Fun tour with Captain Jamie - A few hiccups with the transfers, no information was provided and I struggled to get hold of anyone. (note - pickup is AT LEAST 1hr 15min before the tour - try get hold of someone to confirm). However, once I got there, the tour itself was fabulous - Captain Jamie was super knowledgeable, funny and answered all my questions. We saw gators, herons, turtles and a bald eagle nest.

Just okay - It was just okay. The swamp itself was beautiful but I would’ve liked to learn more facts about the ecosystem as advertised. The narration was more like the jungle cruise at Disneyland (funny jokes). We did see some female alligators though.

At the agreed pick-up... - I was not picked up at the agreed pick-up location and therefore could not participate in the already paid tour

Transportation nightmare - The tour was fine. The transportation was a nightmare. We waited for an hour to then find out the car was never coming. We rescheduled our entire day to rebook for the next tour. The driver that showed up was unprofessional. On the way there and back he was watching soccer on an iPad with AirPods in. He ran red lights and was going 80mph in a 55. I asked for a refund on transport and was told no.
