Captain Dewey was Awesome! - It was awesome to zoom around the swamp and see its inhabitants. The ride was informative. Capt. Dewey was straight to the point, gave us our time to enjoy the ride, and was welcoming at the same time. Despite it being a cooler day we were able to see a few alligators. I would definitely do this again! Side note: it is a fun fast boat ride so it gets windy. It also gets loud, but they do provide headphones.

Fantastic swamp boat tour Louisiana - This is a must do if you’re in Louisiana. The boat operator was amazing and so knowledgeable. Fantastic adventure. The boat was amazing. We saw dozens of gators, they come so close to the boat! We saw a bald eagle nesting. The Spanish moss is stunning. Couldn’t recommend this company and tour strongly enough!!

Well worth it - Excellent experience with a very knowledgeable guide. Cold as it was during a cold snap, but still saw an alligator, bald eagle and owl. Worth every penny.

Roaring good time! - This might top everything else you do on your family vacation. It's certainly memorable. The water, a fast boat, cool winds, and light spray is exciting for everyone. The alligators are so close! But our guide, Trey, pointed out, these gators are used to the boats and really tolerate our presence well. Trey is very knowledgeable about the area having grown up in the bayou. We will book this tour again.

Excellent tour - Our family loved this tour. We enjoyed the ride in the air boat and we were lucky to see a number of wild life including alligators. Our tour guide Dewey was really knowledgeable about the swamp , the animals and habitat. We recommend this tour company to anyone interested in going on a swamp tour.
