Very knowledgeable guide and we were fortunate to see a large number of alligators in late November. The ride on the airboat was quite fun and we enjoyed the tour of the Bayou and the marshlands.

The entire trip was amazing! Our hotel pick up was right on time and after arriving at the swamp, Captain Brad took us on a thrilling airboat ride. He shared stories of the Bayou and explained the devastation created from Hurricane Ida. As for seeing alligators- we saw a LOT! It was amazing to see how close one came to our boat and Brad was even able to touch his snout!! We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone!
