What a blast! - Holding Fuffy and seeing Captain Bob on his belly, feeding the alligator. We enjoyed all the informative facts here shared as well.

Awesome experience - I’ve never set foot in the swamp before and this is the best way to start. Our Captain was knowledgeable and entertaining. He worked hard to make sure the entire tour group was able to see the alligators from each side of the boat. He had an awesome co-worker named “Fluffy” who was a great surprise. This tour is worth the time and money.

Fun In the Swamp - In a word:
Dewey!
He was fantastic!
He knows his stuff...and does a great job of imparting that information to us
Too often, your guides all over just follow a boring script and just walk through the motions. Not Dewey. Truly made us (the guests) feel welcome and important. Answered all questions to the best of his abilities...
I threatened to take off a star for his "Bayou-Self" joke, but I couldn't. He was just too nice, too good and very engaging
If you are in the NoLa Area, absolutely spend the time and money to take this swamp tour!!
We will come back!!
