Lots of alligators - Our guide was Ernie. We couldnt have asked for a more knowledgeable guide. you could see his passion for the area and waterways. He obviously knew where the alligators "hang out" because we saw many! Our son on the trip is a biology major and wants to work in the Marine field. Being able to listen to someone like Ernie was invaluable! Highly recommend the tour and ask for Ernie as your guide!!

Fantastic Swamp Boat Tour Highly Recommend - Booked a small boat swamp tour for myself, my mum and my step dad. Great tour, our guide Ian was fantastic 👍 been on a tour before over at the Everglades and this was much better. Some tours are just finding a gator and that’s it, this was so much more 🐊 highly recommend. Easy to find and perfect amount of time out on the boat. You won’t be disappointed 👍

Great swamp adventure! - We really enjoyed our swamp tour headed my Captain Ernie. He made sure we saw lots of gators to my son's delight. The airboat ride was fun and exhilarating. I also enjoyed the education provided by Captain Ernie; he has a great sense of humor. When you book request Captain Ernie and don't be like me and forget cash for a tip. The only thing that would have made it better is if my son could have held a baby gator. We will definitely be back in the spring! The swamp was beautiful and my fav part was riding under the trees with the moss!

Amazing! Do not miss! - We had an amazing experience touring the bayous and swamp, with a local Cajun/ Creole guide who taught us a lot during the 90 minute ride. He called over the alligators which he gave snacks to !
