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 with swamp things - Our tour guide made the experience truly fun and memorable. He provided loads of interesting tidbits about gators and the other wildlife in the area. He was loads of fun and the people were a hoot. I really recommend the boat cruise

Best Family Friendly Tour! - Capt. Darrin was our guide. He was so knowledgeable and funny. He would let the boat get really close for pictures. He also kept a well stocked cooler and snacks. I would totally book another visit. We even got to see Bert the biggest alligator! Definitely an unforgettable experience!
