I'm glad he was because it was such a cool experience. Everything was so personal and easy from booking to check in to bidding our awesome captain goodbye. We had captain Woody and I'd 100% recommend him if you get a choice. He was funny and so knowledgable and his passion for the work they do was apparent. His knowledge of each individual gator was endearing and impressive. Logistically it was only a 30-40 min drive from NOLA and very easy to find. On Woody's recommendation, we went to an adorable restaurant called Spahr's afterword and had some delicious seafood with a view full of gators in their backyard!

There is a fenced pond rehabilitating injured alligators, a pool with baby alligators that they let you hold at the end of the tour, and lots of information about local wildlife. Our captain was fantastic. He gave us a lot of facts on the wildlife as well as history of the area. He was great at making sure everyone on the boat could see, as he would rotate the boat in a circle making sure everyone got a "front seat." He brought food out to the feeding sites of raccoons, squirrels, and wild hogs, which brought them all running. We saw an old trappers cabin, an old teepee made of palms, a mass grave, and the grave of the local video priestess that died in 1915. And, of course, the alligators. At the end of the thought, the captain showed us some of his pets--turtles, crawfish, and a baby alligator named Bruce, which we got to hold.

Al met us at Dale's Trading Post to lead us to the launch point which was a short drive down the road. Don't worry, no off-road experience was necessary to get to the river. The swamp tour itself was fantastic. Al was a very knowledgeable guide and talked about the cypress trees, ecology of the basin, and was full of fun facts about the animals we saw. I very much appreciated that the tour was pretty quiet as it allowed for a more intimate experience with the swamp With minimal disturbance of the wildlife. It was an easy paddle and there was little to no current so I would say this tour is very novice friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

I would like to come back with my family for them to see and listen to all of the history in the items and the stories of the owners and the enslaved. The visit was simply powerful for me to experience as I have family that were enslaved or born free to parents that were enslaved. And I have family that worked plantations in GA in the 1940s and 1950s picking cotton. So this visit really touched me.

The Captain was very informative of the history of New Orleans its waters, marine biologically and eco system. Also, if you didn't get to see the gators during the ride, there was a more fun and friendly size passenger onboard that the Captain personally shared. This was an all around great board ride and education of NOLA. So until that next time, Bye - Bye!

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.

My partner and I have some experience paddling and wanted plenty of time to see wildlife and get deep in the swamp for the best scenery, and for us the extended tour was the right choice! I'd recommend it to visitors to New Orleans who love nature, the outdoors, and/or getting a fun and unique workout in during vacation. We were on the water for about 4 hours. Sunscreen, sunglasses, shoes you don't mind getting wet, and PLENTY of water are a must! There are stops at a truck stop right before and after for the bathroom and buying any drinks/snacks, plus a stop on dry land during the tour. Our guide Nick was clearly dedicated to both paddling and nature even outside of work, and our tour felt less like a scripted performance as some tours can be and more like a buddy was showing and telling you things he was passionate about. We saw several small alligators, barred owls, hawks, turtles, and water birds. It was unseasonably warm so the reptiles were a treat to see, and it was awesome getting to see owls out in daylight which I'd never be able to pick out myself. Bring binoculars if you have them! My only small complaint, which has nothing to do with the tour itself: the AI-generated content on the company's Instagram page is kind of weird. Photos and videos from actual tours would be more honest and enticing!
