Terrific experience, saw lots of great wildlife and at least a dozen gators during our airboat tour. Corey our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun! Would not hesitate to do it again or to recommend to others!

Darren was an excellent, and very funny, guide. We saw MANY alligators, and one huge one came right up to our boat. He recommended a fantastic local restaurant for lunch - Boutte’s Bayou Restaurant - where we had an excellent, authentic creole lunch. I highly recommend this adventure.

Jay was our guide and he was great. Born and raised there he was so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go. So many gators and they came right to boat. Pointed out the bald eagles, herons and pelicans. He really wanted to get each group member involved. We were going to do slower boat tour. So glad we changed!

It was cold and rainy and we still had a great time. The captain was entertaining and informative. Due to the cold we only spotted a couple gators, but we know there's no way to control that! We still had fun!

Cory was our guide! He was great! Took us to quite a few spots where we saw about 5-6 gators, some turtles and he called a racoon that came running, ran up a tree for a marshmallow.
The boat ride was very smooth and loud but they provide ear protection which is much appreciated.
A very fun time, would recommend!

Great experience and really knowledgeable guide! We were concerned we wouldn’t see any wildlife going in February but we still saw three gators and tons of turtles and beautiful birds. Even a bald eagle flying over! Highly recommend!
