Top gator experience - The airboat tour was the highlight of our time in Lousiana! Great young capitan - sadly we can’t remember the name. We saw gators, raccoons and koyotes! Really takes you into another world! Extremely cool! Would recommend!

Fascinating tour - Our transportation driver Gerald gave us history and landmarks of New Orleans including his personal story during Hurricane Katrina. It was a fascinating introduction to the area and culture in Louisiana. Captain Ernie was so knowledgeable. He studied Marine Biology so was able to explain so much about the gators, their breeding, feeding and survival. We drifted next to the gators and hot amazing photos and videos. Thanks for the tour.

Bucket list adventure - Amazing tour! The airboat ride was fun and we got to hold a baby alligator. We saw a few alligators and so many birds. It was such a smooth ride nothing like i expected it to be.

Great Tour Guide! - Our tour guide, Captain Ernie, was fun, informative and cares about the gators! From pick-up to drop off, the experience was about 4 hours, so come fed and bring water. Great experience!

Small group airboat tour is a win! - Bobby was a great guide, and showed us some beautiful scenery as well as some curious swamp critters. My teens loved the speeding parts of the trip as well as seeing all the gators. We happened to catch Fluffy peeing on my son on video, so also a hilarious memory. Thank you for a job well done!

fun, but didn’t get the full 2hrs - The only complaint is that it’s advertised and priced as a 2 hour tour. Ours ended up being about 1.5 hours. Otherwise, it was fun and we saw a lot of alligators and other animals.
