The best swamp tour around - Captain Dewey, was the best! He took us to all the spots where we might spot gators, and sure enough we got to see at least one. Keep up with the puns and dad jokes!

Great tour with a great guide - The tour was wonderful. Captain Earnie was wonderful in telling us about the bayou and the wildlife and people from there. He was very knowledgeable and appreciative of the wildlife which was very nice to see. We saw some alligators which was a nice treat as it’s getting cold and we didn’t have any expectations. Captain Earnie was able to tell us about their dens, their growth, and how they survive the winter. He also made sure to maneuver the boat so that everyone had a chance to see. Wonderful tour!

Would recommend - Had a great time solo!! Picked up by Barbara who was kind and funny. The swamp tour captain Ernie was extremely funny and quite knowledgeable about the ecosystem. Would highly recommend. It’s not swamp in the traditional sense (at least in my mind) but still memorable.
