Our Captain, Trey, gave us a great tour and ride through the swamps. Funny and knowledgeable, open and honest, I couldn’t ask for a better guide. If you love the water, animals, and learning some history about the land I would definitely recommend this tour. 10/10 would do again. I will say as a warning, please wear your sunscreen! I’m going back up north looking like a whole new person!

We started off with our bus driver who was kind and helpful. And took us from downtown to the tour. The boat experience was exciting and like nothing we’ve done or seen before. We loved seeing the swamp life. Our guide was from the area and was very informative and fun. He wanted to make sure that we were able to see and experience everything on his agenda for us. I hesitated booking this tour but I’m so glad I did.
