Captain Ernie was great! He was so fun and shared a lot of valuable information. This was definitely a highlight from our trip. My family is still talking about what a fun time we had and that we want to do it again.

Captain Dewey took us for a wild ride through the swamp. We saw many alligators along our journey. He even got out of the boat and handled a 12 ft alligator!

Absolutely misleading! Start time says 10:20 but that's not really the time. They come to pick you up 45 minutes later, only to find out that the actual tour didn't start till much later. There is no fine print indicating this. We were under a time constraint with a late afternoon flight and worried we would not make it. We had to forfeit the money and skip the tour. If the details would have been provided upfront, we wouldn't have booked it.

We traveled to New Orleans to celebrate my mother’s 74th birthday, My mom lives in Georgetown, SC and I live in Washington DC. Zander was our guide and was very aware of the Carolina shores. Zander was an amazing captain and quite hilarious. He made my mother hold the alligator, something none of her children could ever get her to do. Long story , she loved the entire experience, as she is a self proclaimed fisherman. Lol. Special shout out to Ms. J (Bus #3) for a 2:00 pm tour. We certainly enjoyed the history of the history during the 45 minute ride. Also, quite hilarious. ❤️❤️❤️

The experience was great. Our driver was personable and very knowledgeable he even brought Fluffy along (an alligator he said that was about 15 months old). Well worth the trip.

The boat operator was very good. Sassy attitude that we appreciated. He brought us to the alligators, about 8 feet long, which came right up to the boat and he was feeding it. The ride on the airboat was exhilarating and a little wet at time but great fun. The pickup from hotel and back was also entertaining with Miss Lorraine, what a gal. Really recommend the ride.

Being able to see an alligator up close was so amazing.. the boat was smooth and the views were lovely.

Kathleen_P

Great way to experience this part of NOLA! Our guide was a master at finding alligators as well as educating us on the area. Air boat speed was fun and kept us cool. Would do it again!

Great day on the water. Our guide ( Earl??) was so knowledgeable, and very professional. I saw so many alligators and learned a lot about the wetlands. Highly recommend this experience.
