My husband and I had a great time on the airboat alligator tour. Saw lots of gators and had a great tour guide!

Great Adventure

This tour far exceeded our expectations! It was the highlight of our trip to the New Orleans area! I think our tour guide's name was Jeff. He did a fantastic job driving us around, getting us up close and personal with all the gators, taught us lots about the trees and swamp, and was obviously passionate about the place and the gators. I feel pretty lucky to have had him as a guide. Thank you to the entire place for making our day!

The best part of our entire vacation!

Had the best time! We saw the clouds rolling in, we were asked IF we wanted to head in. We chose to stay out and look for gators! We were soaked, BUT, found that one big gator! Also, the lightning was in the distance, so he was attentive to that as well. Thank you! Had the best fun!

So much fun!!

This was an exilerating experience to say the least. I am a fan of speed and horsepower, so this was right up my alley. Capt Mike operated the airboat with such a smooth flow, that there was no doubt that he was extremely skilled and experienced. He was informative and courteous. He provided a first time experience that will keep us coming back again. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience

We had such a great time on this tour! We had a fun time getting sprayed on the airboat, seeing a lot of alligators, and the beautiful swamps! Would definitely do this again!

Best part of the trip!

Enjoyed the tour. Picked my family up at the hotel and dropped us off. Very convenient.  Very knowledgeable tour guide. Captain Ernie!! Educated you about alligators and their environment. Spoke a little Cajun for us that I didn’t understand. Would highly recommend.

I had requested AM Swamp Tour followed by Oak Alley. We did it the opposite. Made us over an hour later than anticipated on return. Paying an extra $78 to have nine people picked up 4 miles from the downtown area at an easy venue to negotiate, seemed a little excessive when I paid over $1200 for the group already. A little lagniappe may be in order for a big group for future guests. Dropping us off first instead of delving into the French Quarter to a small hotel to drop off a party of two would have been appreciated also.

Good trip, efficiency and service  average or below.
