She made the ride (and traffic) seem quick and easy. Captain Ernie made the whole trip absolutely amazing! Hilarious and very informative, and although it was cold he was able to spot some alligators and got us up close. Absolutely recommend! Bring cash for tips

Best Experience - Ernie was amazing!!! It was so cool hearing all about the bayou, gators and his own personal experiences. Plus, with his awesome sense of humor…..he kept me laughing. To our surprise when he brought out a baby alligator and lets us all hold it…that was an opportunity I did not expect!! Thank you so much Ernie and God Bless!
