5 + Stars. Book it now. Everyone working there is welcoming and accommodating. Though our guide BeBop stole the show. He invited us into his world, told unforgettable stories, we saw an alligator, very knowledgeable, debunked popular myths about the swamp and alligators. We appreciated his knowledge, passion and of course his humor. It’s more than you could imagine.

We had the small fanboat led by Captain Ernie. Excellent experience! It was a very chilly day in New Orleans, so I had low expectations of seeing many gators. But he got us views of at least half a dozen gators. And he also took time to talk to us, explain some of the science/ biology of gators, as well how hunting affects them. We all felt like it was a worthwhile experience and it was a great way to see a part of Louisiana that you may not get to see otherwise. Thank you Captain Ernie!

Wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and very comfortable with the many gators in their natural habitat. Beautiful, fast airboat ride. We encountered 8 gators, 3 of them very close to our boat. The transportation from our hotel was very convenient.

During our recent vacation, we took an airboat swamp tour that was truly unforgettable! The captain, a knowledgeable local, shared fascinating insights about the unique ecosystem and wildlife of the swamp. We also took some amazing photos of the alligators and other wildlife.

By far this was the best experience! It started out with an air conditioned bus picking us up in front of our hotel, about half hour ride to the area. Our captain was Ian, he was funny, knowledgeable and made the experience a 10!!! Thank you for the fabulous experience! Don’t think twice take the small airboat ride with Ian.
