Do it! You won't be disappointed! - The trip stayed promptly. Our Captain Dave was awesome, very knowledgeable, entertaining and well spoken. The tour was about 2 hours, riding through the waters around Honey Island. There were plenty of wildlife experiences including gators, raccoons, wild dogs, egrets and herons. The flora was unique and diverse and, again, Dave had plenty of knowledge about what we were seeing, and told stories about the Honey Island Swamp Monster as well (sadly, no sightings of him...) Definitely worth the price of admission!

Exciting and informative - The trip exceeded my expectations! I was initially worried about being in a boat with a lot of people, but everything was well organized and it never felt overcrowded. Our guide, Captain Jacob, made the trip. He had so much information about the ecosystem and local area. I learned a lot. Seeing the wildlife was amazing.
