Magnificent! They pick you up in downtown New Orleans, take you to the boat, guide you round to see the wildlife in beautiful surroundings, know where the aligators are, give a splendid commentary - just do it!

"Great experience, recommend the small boat!"

Reviewed March 16, 2020

We absolutely loved our experience! Ian was our guide and he was super informative, funny, and nice. There was a different tour guide who yelled the whole time and I’m so glad we didn’t get him. We saw dozens of alligators which was the highlight, but they aren’t around all year. I recommend bringing sunglasses, a hat that you can latch on your head, ear protection (for noise) if you want to bring your own {they provide some but they slide}, your camera, and of course sunscreen. The cons to this trip were that the older lady who checked us in was quite grumpy and rude, and we did not get to see the baby alligator that we saw other people playing with in photos. It was not available, not sure why. I was worried about seasickness but nobody got sick because the water was pretty calm. Also, you really don’t need a waterproof camera - we did not get wet. Most people were using their phones or regular cameras. There are no bathrooms or water on the boat so come ready! They do have merch, beer, water, and gifts at their store as well as a bathroom. Free and easy parking.

"A fun ride through the bayou"

Reviewed March 15, 2020

The airboat was a fun way to experience the bayou and to see some gators up close. The guide was fun but it is a little hard to hear everything that was said if you are sitting up front.

We did a tour with 11 of us and it was great even if it was cold. The Captain was born and raised in the area and had been on the boats doing tours his whole life starting with his Father and Grandfather. He now is doing them proud.

"A visit tp the NOLA swamps"

Reviewed February 13, 2020

There are many companies providing this service, and many brochures at the hotel. We coosed one by raffle and were not disappointed. Maybe all of them more expensive for what they do and show, but all were similar. They started on time and the boat was very comfortable. The tour guide or captain was 1005 local and knew where to go to see as many alligators as possible. It was winter, so not many birds.
