    We took a private boat tour of the island, where we learned about the history and ecology of the…read moreisland, which are so intertwined. Danny showed us dolphins, sea turtles, and thousands of pelicans. We learned about a German U boat found sunk off shore, a Civil War era fort, on an island previously inhabited by pirates. Oyster beds, million dollar rock walls to mitigate storm surges, and how dredging works. He discussed Deep Water Horizon and his work transporting biologists during the oil spill clean up, and the giant oil spill cleanup ship now stationed on the island. Shrimp boats, how different ones work and his time shrimping in this area which produces 80% of US caught shrimp. Deep water oil wells and pipelines, and how that impacts the ecology and economy of the island (29 petroleum and oil pipelines run through the island. Global warming, rising sea levels, increasing salinity, and frequency of major storms and hurricanes. This island is close to where the Mississippi flows into the gulf, and the ecological diversity is rich, but changing. The tour was beautiful and educational, and also a good reminder that someone always lives downstream.

    Meh, glad we went, but would not book with them and cannot recommend. We decided to book and drive…read moreourselves there since it was a bit more expensive for us to drive than pay for three people to go from their office in downtown. They told us to be there 15 minutes before our tour start time and we were there 20 minutes before, but the tour guide was 10 minutes late past the start of the tour itself. We thought we were in the wrong place and tried to get in contact with the tour agency. Got voicemail the first time and it was this random woman's number, but then called the same number a minute later and a guy told us the tour operator was on his way and then needed to pick up the supplies. It seems that they should have communicated that earlier and they should have a better system in place. The launch from the boat area was into a busy area right under the freeway and our guide basically was like hangout there and wait for me. That foreshadowed the rest of the tour for us, he basically was distant from us most of the tour, either way in front or way behind and we were a total tour of four people. There was no discussion about what we would see beyond him showing us alligators. At one point we were in the deeper section and a massive log was in the way, he went over and faced the opposite direction while the four of us struggled to get our kayaks over the log. He told us to go around and we got stuck because it was more elevated on the side and just sat on his phone the entire time while we helped each other. I get we were a group coming together, but it felt like he just told us which way to go, but didn't do any real guiding. We even helped him load and unload the supplies from the kayak. I think this tour company needs to be better organized and train their guides on what they should do to become tour guides.

    I booked a private photo tour and a group kayaking tour. Both were outstanding. I got great photos…read moreand learned a lot.

    I didn't get to wrestle a gator but that's ok cause we had so much fun! Anyway, you can't visit…read moreNawlins without venturing to the bayou to see the gators! There are a few airboat tour companies near New Orleans, but we decided to go with Airboat Adventures due to the price and positive reviews online. I booked the tour online through their website. If you want something more private, go witha smaller airboat, which is a bit more expensive than the large airboat. But because we're chickens, we decided to go with the larger airboat that held more people. The tour offers transportation to their location by bus for an extra fee, but we decided to drive our own car since they provided on-site parking. I do recommend driving your own car, because the drive was absolutely scenic. A lot of green and we got to see all the beautiful houses built on stilts on the way. Not to mention, it's about a 30 min drive from New Orleans. When we arrived, there were plenty of parking. They also had bathrooms inside and on the exterior of their store, which were very clean! Inside the store, you can check out a live albino alligator and take photos while you wait. You can also wait outside on the dock -- plenty of seating and you can grab a drink at the bar. The tour was amazing and so was our tour guide. The weather was nice, we saw a lot of gators sunbathing a bald eagle, and its nest. It was more than what I expected! Everyone in my party had a great time and more memories were made! Side note: Airboats are very loud so make sure you keep the headphones on!
