Took a chance on this tour and loved every minute! This isn’t just an alligator tour, but a tour of the bayou, swamp areas, and inlets. Captain George is a very friendly and fun tour guide who grew up in the area — so he knows every nook and cranny. So many stories about the area including riveting personal stories about Hurricane Katrina. It was a beautiful day, and all the birds were out playing. This is not an airboat ride, but we really flew like one in some places. Totally enjoyed the people and the time spent. Plus, don’t forget to hang around at “Da Pope Tavern” after for a beverage. Best crab cakes!

We had a fun and informative tour with Captain George on the bayou. His stories were informative and gave us a great sense of life on the bayou. The setting was beautiful. It was for our three generations from 10 to 80.

This tour was an absolute DELIGHT! The bayou was absolutely gorgeous, we saw tons of gators, and Captain George was an extremely knowledgeable and entertaining storyteller. We heard a lot about the crabbing business, got to see some crabs in one of his traps, and he told personal stories about Katrina. The bar was a hoot - we met lots of friendly locals who were giving us (an obviously queer couple from San Francisco) hugs by the time we left. The food was also fabulous - my wife said it was the best crab cake she had ever had in her life.

Captain George and his wife are extremely accommodating and made it an incredible experience for our group. The weather was cold and windy but we still had an enjoyable time. If you're interested in learning about the locals, life in the Bayou, and surviving Katrina, you will not be disappointed. George's colorful stories were funny and entertaining. He invited us into his "camp" and made us feel more like friends than customers. We saw a couple 'gators, a swamp and may interesting sites. We had an amazing time with this company and we can't recommend them highly enough.

We did the tour with another couple but also would be a great option for families. Captain George and his wife Samantha were so welcoming and fun. We ate before our ride at their tavern and got some drinks to go. Food was awesome (and inexpensive) and Samantha was super responsive via email to help plan what we wanted ahead of time. We learned a lot about the area that we would not have had the opportunity for otherwise during our visit to NOLA. It was also a nice break from the crowds in town. Highly recommend the whole experience to anyone visiting!

We had a great time with Captain George and Happiness Bayou tours. George has so many interesting stories to tell, and we learned a lot about the area. I’m sure no 2 tours are alike; this is no corporate driven tour with canned dialogue. Feeding marshmallows to alligators, sunken boats, camp shacks, flood prevention systems; We just loved the whole experience. Samantha was great too. So nice to go on a family-run tour. Highly recommend.

Look no further. My daughter and I are so happy to have found this tour run by a local couple. Captain George and Samantha are the real deal, so kind, interesting and authentic. Captain George is very knowledgeable about the area and bayou life. He shares his personal stories of life on the bayou, which are fascinating. Local residents wave to him as they pass by on their boats. You can tell he has a heart of gold as he shares his stories of rescuing animals and helping his neighbors. I heard some call him the Batman of the Bayou. Love that. After the tour, we spent time in their tavern talking with Samantha and having a beer (or two) and meeting a couple of locals. She was so kind to give us the time in sharing about their lives, backgrounds and experiences living in the area, including living through the hurricanes. She is an amazing lady. We are grateful and plan to return one day.

Captin George and his wonderful wife were SUPER kind and lovely. It was an absolute delight meeting them. He has such a colorful way of telling his stories about the area and clearly takes great pride in where he is from and what he does. I would recommend this to any family or friend visiting New Orleans. It was cool meeting his pet turtles and hearing about his support for the community. Can't wait to come back and do it all again!

We love doing tours with local companies or families vs. the large companies that bombard hotels etc. Great little tavern located on site. Very touristy prices…and the food was simple but some of the best we had on the trip! Highly recommend leaving extra time before hand or after tour for food and drinks. Samantha and Heather will take great care of you! You can also take drinks on the cruise which was also a nice bonus! Captain George was born and raised there. So many great stories and so knowledgeable of the area. Got to see a few gators as well as stopping at his personal camp/cabin right in the bayou for a short break and restroom stop. This was for sure a highlight of our trip and if planning on doing a swamp tour while in New Orleans, I strongly recommend Happiness!

George was an awesome tour guide and we would do this again when we come back. The tour was amazing and he was very friendly and took us all around the bayu. Hope everyone that wants to see the bayu and check out some gators to booking a tour with happiness bayu tour. I would definitely do this tour again.
