spiders and gators and racoons oh my
We went early so it wouldn't be too hot. The tour guide was quite personable and knowledgeable. The boat was steady. I did not feel like danger was lurking at any time. They take good care of you and get right up to the alligators, racoons, big black grasshoppers, and show you spiders living in trees that would scare the snot out of you if you were too close. lol. Fabulous tour quite enjoyed it and the guide.

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!

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.
