This tour was beyond our expectations. The small airport tour was able to show us the bayou,lake and marsh. Rocky our tour guide was amazing. He had a special way with the alligators. We saw many alligators . You will miss out if you do not go!

First time on the bayou! Our captain was great, 15 years of experience on the water and full of knowledge. We saw a bald eagle and lots of gators! We took the 9:30am tour and drove out to the establishment. I would recommend going earlier to avoid the sun/heat. The facility has adequate parking, restrooms and small gift shop, drinks and snacks. We left the dock at 9:40am and arrived back around 11:20am. After the tour, we went and had lunch at Restaurant des Familles. It's on the way back and about 7-10 mins from the tour location. Highly recommend! You will enjoy a great day experiencing God's creation and eating some great food!

We had an excellent experience on a beautiful afternoon. The facilities are in great shape with a professional staff. The best part was our tour guide, Rocky; his knowledge of the land, waters, and animals, along with its history, was outstanding. In addition, he has a great personality for the job. Well done!!

Really knowledgeable staff! Airboat tour is super fun! I would 10/10 do this again! You get nice and close to the gators and really get to see some big ones. You even get to hold a little baby if you’d like.
