Absolutely worth it!

Absolutely worth it!
Absolutely worth it! Located walking distance from a list of hotels in the French Quarter, this whole experience was pleasant, informative, and entertaining. All the staff members were exceptionally friendly, the guides and music were fun, and the boat itself was a very well kept, clean, and a beautiful step into what could have been a ride a 100 years ago. The pride was very affordable for a family of 4. The 11 am ride was perfect at just under 2 hours, we saw a lot! Only note is that we didn’t debark until 11:30. Highly recommend!

Great time at the Bayou
This is a nice hour and a half boat ride into the bayous of Louisiana. We were able to see some birds, several fish and alligators on the trip. Our guy was very informative and told us a few interesting bits of History as well.

Great time! Well worth it!
We showed up for an hour 1130 departure, 11am boarding, things were ahead of schedule! Smooth and easy they started the line at 1030 and did boarding pics and boarded us by 1045 and the line was pretty long. It kept going till sailing at 1135ish. So I advise showing up early, but know if you are late it’s pretty close to accurate.The food was good to excellent, southern eggs and mostly NOLA Cajun. Shrimp Andouille and grits, was killer. Potatoes were great, and the Biscuits were lackluster. Gravy a bit too sweet. Coffee was nice.Staff were great. Found us for the photo delivery.

Perfect!
The view was gorgeous, the food was excellent, the breeze devine. The captain was fun and informative and the ride was smooth. Even when the tugs created waves, the gentle rocking was lovely. Be prepared for the loud noise of the calliope which sounds like a carousel and the loudness of the boats horn as it warns other boats that its coming. The people on smaller boats gave us a 'wooohooo' and we always hollered back. I'd definitely go again.

Quiet swamp Tours not too many alligators at all, but
Easy to get to and no complications not too expensive normal pricing the tour girl was very sweet and took pictures for me which was very nice. I just wish I could’ve seen more animals. Alligators turtles fish anything but that’s not guaranteed. She was wonderful.

Great experience needs some warmers on the food
It was a lovely experience especially on the 7pm sail time. The food was a little cold, especially the brisket. The red beans and rice were really good. The gumbo didnt have enough meat but thr flavor of the roux was there. Our waitress made the best iced tea ever!!! And the drink prices were very decent. We ordered a washington apple that did not disappoint. It was a great experience overall.

Incredible Evening with great food
Beyond the French Quarter did an outstanding job and thought of everything to make our experience memorable. It was an easy Lyft ride from downtown and an interesting ride outside the city seeing another side of the Bayou. Chef Pipp was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining and we felt like we were in good hands navigating into the wild life area as he pointed out all of the birds we had never seen before and pointing out the alligators swimming around. My husband had fun helping chop the food and pull up the crab pots for the seafood boil. It was amazing! Delicious!! There was a very nice assortment of beverage available for us to purchase, which made the whole experience easy and fun for us to sit back, relax and enjoy the cool vibe they've got set up right on the water. We would actually do it again, which is rarely the case for our Cool Broadway experiences which tend more to be one time deals. We highly recommend. THANKS CAPTAIN PIPP!!
