Captain Ernie - the GOAT - Captain Ernie was very good. He covered safety prior to leaving the dock and prior to entering the dock. He had a wealth of knowledge of the area and Bayou and was very entertaining. He made the trip so entertaining and the alligators so memorable. I would not hesitate recommending this tour to anybody. What an experience captain Ernie gave us all !

great swamp tour - we decided the tour boat versus the air boat and once on the water we were glad we had made that choice. the tour boats are covered so rain or shine you are comfortable. And the captain did a great job talking about many interesting related topics. Not to mention the airboats are very loud.

Welcome to the swamp! - Captain Dewey was an incredible guide to say the least. Move over Troy Landry, this guy is a real gator whisperer! His momma says, “Dewey, you’re either real brave or real stupid. You be the judge after checking out some of his antics on a tour! Oh and he brought his baby gator along for the boat ride today. He hasn’t named it, cause he doesn’t want to get too attached before he releases it back into the wild… only in the Bayou folks. Lots of gators, wildlife and lots of fun! Yeeehaaaw! Chris McCoy
