We loved the drive and saw some gators and a very cool logging operation. They told us at the visitor center that the house would be open for tours at 9:30 when we arrived there at 10 there was no one around. We hung around until 10:30 and still no one. Otherwise a must see!

Arrived for our boat tour at 9:00am, chose the extended tour. We saw 117 alligators, 8 turtles, a flock of Ibis, great blue heron, sand cranes, kingfisher...too many birds to remember. Seeing the swamp reawaken following the nine month fire is amazing. Enjoyed the historic homestead and the drive around, but the best was seeing the swamp on the water....
