The instructor was very knowledgeable the tour was interesting and great the alligators just swim right up to the boat definitely an experience
Many thanks to Cap Ernie for the lovely tour. Transfer arrived on time without any issues. We spend approximately two hours on the swamps. Captain Ernie explained without breaks, very interesting! In the end he gave us a small Alligator for pictures
10/10 experience. First time and I needed the transportation which worked perfectly as described. Tour itself was excellent and captured the intended goal of seeing the swamp and alligators up close.
Fun your, knowledgeable guide, comfortable covered boat. Efficient transportation to and from boat, but we didn't need as much time before the your. The shuttle could have left quite a bit later and still have plenty of time.
Hands down Captain Ernie is the best... I love how he explained the history of the bayou, his life, vegetation, wildlife, told jokes, and interacted with the crowd... And who would have known gators eat marshmallows.
Captain Bobby was great! He had so much interesting information about Louisiana and Alligators! And of course we got to see some alligators which was great! Would definitely go again!
Ernie was a really good guide he was very knowledgeable about the swamp we all learned a lot about the swamp he was amazing I would recommend anyone to give it a try seen lots of gators
Great experience. Captain Jason was knowledgeable and funny. The gators did their part and showed up.
We had so much fun, our captain was very knowledgeable, and he truly loves the swamp.
This was a great experience. We had a wonderful time. Captain Bobby was great. He showed us all kinds of wildlife. Who knew you could call alligators and raccoons. I would have never of believed he would kiss an alligator, but he did!! Wonderful tour. I would highly advise it.
