Informative and fun! - It was so cold. When they offer to rent you a blanket take it! The area is beautiful. You could tell our guide was very passionate about what he was doing. All the information he gave was very interesting. We saw alligators, a huge eagles nests and several species of birds. A few times he drove the boat really fast and cut corners which my husband loved. I felt comfortable with his ability. Would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent !!! I highly recommend this experience to anyone. And I am a 60+ female!! - From the hotel pick up, to the stories from our driver Gerald en route to the Swamp was excellent. And then to experience the Airboat Ride with our very knowledgeable Captain, and Aligator Tour. How does one talk about this experience in words. There are none. Only EXCELLENT!!!

Fantastic swamp boat experience - This was a fabulous experience and would definitely recommend the small boat tour. Our guide was Bobby and he shared so much passion and knowledge of all things ‘alligator’ with us throughout the trip. The boat ride thrilling, but then you slowly meander through the stunning scenery of the Spanish Moss lined inlets where you’ll see a host of alligators up close. An unforgettable experience. The lady in the gift shop was so friendly and welcoming too, thanks everyone at Louisiana Swamp Boat Tours.
