Awesome Swamp Boat Tour - Captain Matt was awesome. Funny knowledgable and in total control of the boat and tour. We drove ourselves out to the location, and everything ran on time. Our entire 4 person family loved it.

Excellent way to see alligators and other wildlife! - Thus tour was recommended and did not disappoint! Our party of eight was picked up right on time in front of our hotel by Amir; he was helpful and friendly. Our guide Captain Morgan was great, knowledgeable and had a fun sense of humor. We were on the smaller airboat which was perfect for our group. We saw several gators (one very up close). Amir was ready to drive us back after the tour ended. 100% would recommend.

A Must do! - Great trip! Well worth the money! My family took the small airboat tour and have a great day. They tell you up front, this is not an alligator tour…but our guide, Matt, did everything he could to show us the alligators while taking us on almost a 2 hour tour around the property. My kids were thrilled as were me and my wife. I would recommend this to everyone!!

Highly recommend - Kelly was our guide, and we took the small boat. We learned a lot from Kelly about alligators, as well as the trees and plants in the area. Kelly knew where to find the alligators and we took many photos. We had an excellent time. I would highly recommend this tour.

If you’re looking for an airboat tour in New Orleans, look no further! - My husband and I had a great time on the airboat tour. We learnt heaps about alligators, the land and other wildlife. Our guide (we think his name was Captain Max or Matt) was great. He answered all questions our tour had and was super friendly and had a great sense of humour. He would stop at lots of alligators. We even got to see a baby alligator which surprisingly had 8 fingers on one hand and 5 on the other. It was pretty funny when it was pointed out by another member of our tour group. We also taught our captain a new word.. “mozzies” which are slang for mosquitos in Australia! He liked that one! We were also grateful that the older gentlemen when we were checking in told my husband to borrow one of their jackets as he would get cold. He was right and the jacket came in handy! This is how you know it’s a family run business who actually care about their customers. Overall we would highly recommend this tour and we loved the small group feel that it had.

Chubbs Peterson Would Have Lost Another Hand! - Our tour at 10 am on 3/13/2024 was great, certainly one of the highlights of the trip! The weather was good, the boats swift, and the alligators out enough for us to satisfy us tourists. The Captain was entertaining and serious as needed, and gave us lots of information along the way. I recommend this tour company and would take people back there if we visit again.

Highlight of our trip to NOLA - This tour is a must! Cameron, our guide, made it so fun to learn a lot about the marsh lands. Alligators used to freak me out but after this experience I learned to appreciate them and their beautiful habitat! We saw many alligators (all sizes) and wildlife as we sped on the water and we had lots of laughs. Definitely worth every penny!
