A must try - The views were great and EJ was fantastic. It was an informative, relaxing, engaging tour. This is my first time to the New Orleans area and I was becoming unimpressed, but this tour made up for it. I’d love to come back.

Alligators and more! - We saw so many alligators as well as some birds. The views were great and our tour guide gave us a lot of interesting facts about the animals and the area. He also made sure we could all get good pictures. I'm glad we were on more of a regular boat than the air boats - they seemed too noisy.

Great swamp tour! - The pontoon ride was excellent. Our captain took the time to cruise slowly through the swamp to give a close-up view of gators, birds and vegetation. He provided history and interesting facts about the area. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Not thrilled - Air boats should not take off at same time. Having them around makes it too difficult to hear guide. Didn't see much but the guide tried. Most was just open water or wide rivers.

Enjoying the Day with the Gators - The guide was very knowledgeable and got us great views of the Aligators and wildlife. Only downside was the shuttle driver drove very fast.

Nice boat ride, didn’t see much! - Subpar- saw just a couple alligators and a few birds. Driver/narrator was funny at times but also not very much energy. Everyone seemed pretty bored. Best part was the music. Next time we will do airboat. Looked more fun!
