We had a lot of fun on the tour boat with captain Bobby. We had planned the air boat but our 6 year old wasn’t tall enough. 48 inches is the minimum. We saw plenty of gators and other wildlife.
Our swamp tour with Captain Barefoot Billy was a fun experience. If you’re looking for an adventure with plenty laughs this is it. Captain Barefoot Billy is knowledgeable, keeps the tour fun, and has a way with the gators that’s great to watch. He’s definitely a daredevil and a true gator whisperer! From learning about the wildlife to getting up close with a baby alligator, every minute was worth it. I highly recommend this tour if you’re in the area—you won’t be disappointed!
It was great awesome I recommend you have to do it
Captain Ernie was the best! Very friendly, very informative and funny as hell!!!
The SWAMP TOUR was amazing and educational. The swamp itself is truly a beautiful habitat. Our tour guide, the one that had the past alligator bite, was witty and knowledgeable about the alligators. His honest experiences with being a tour guide made the experience that more valuable. I had the SWAMP BOAT experience and the boat ride itself was very relaxing and well worth it. The whole experience was personal and worth it 20/10. Everything and everyone was truly perfect. Also.... the check in process was very easy and straight forward.
The tour guide Ernie was the best. Very informative and cool. We saw a lot of alligators and he gave us the history of the area.
Slow relaxed swamp tour. See and learn about gators and other swamp life from a local bayou captain-with a degree in biology.
Great tour! Many alligators and lots of good info from Bobby, our guide, about the animals, plants and people and history of the area.
It was a great experience. The boat was covered, we saw alligators, learned about the swamp and enjoyed being on the water. The whole family had a good time.
Our guild was Amazing! He was very informative and was able to point out plenty of wildlife and landmarks and the stories behind them.
