About
Picture the moss hanging on gnarled cypress trees as you travel into one of the wildest and most pristine river swamps in America. With the swamp tales of pirates and sightings of Big Foot in the back of your mind, you may be just a little bit nervous at first, but after your first boat ride you'll want to go back again and again! You'll be overcome by the primitive beauty of the cypress trees rising from the water...the sweet smell of wild azaleas in the air....

This is an amazing swamp, and our guide, Chris, was knowledgeable and helpful. He did a great job answering questions and responding to the group. We saw lots of birds, learned about apple snails and other invasive species, and saw raccoons, alligators, and even a feral hog. The cypress and tupelo trees are spectacular. This would be a five star tour if the tour guides didn't feed the wildlife. I would much rather see wildlife at a distance or not at all than to have guides throw marshmallows to attract wildlife- which is just poor practice and anyone really interested in animals knows that this is bad for the animals' welfare. Please consider not making this standard practice on your tours!

We took the VIP swamp tour and we’re not disappointed. We saw birds, alligators, snakes, spiders and ..wild hogs! Sonny was a great tour guide and helped to understand the area and the ecosystem. Highly recommend him.

Can’t say enough about how amazing this tour was!! Our guide was very knowledgeable and affable. Our 9-year-old grandson was ecstatic about seeing so much wildlife!! The raccoons were especially delightful.

This was the highlight of our entire trip! Captain Don is well versed in all things swamp. An eco-conscious company who respects and encourages respect of the wildlife in the area. He did throw out a ew marshmallows to gators and racoon, but never attempted to touch them nor lure them to the boat.
The boat held maybe 20 people, which wasn't bad, the seating allowed everyone a great view. We we're super lucky to go on warm day, where lots of alligators were sunning themselves.
I would very much recommend this tour.

We had a great time on this swamp tour. We saw alligators up close and we say blue heron, turtles, raccoons and a wild boar. The tour guide was very informative. I definitely recommend doing this if you go to New Orleans.
