Most amazing sight! Life changing! Landscape is a gift from god! Oh and say hi to Lolita the gator!!and get the bucket!
Jason our tour guide was fantastic. He gave a great tour with lots of facts and we saw lots of wildlife, flora and fauna. He also mixed in a lot of important conservation details which helped bring the tour together. Would highly recommend picking a small boat, it’s a lot of fun and you can really interact with the guide and the group.
I was fortunate to see alligators on my tour! The tour is ok but it doesn't go deep inside the bayou. It's short and sweet... Must admit my tour guide on the bus was excellent! He did a great job and was so informative and funny
Good guide who was very knowledgeable about local stuff and told good stories. Made the trip go fast
They cancelled tour without contacting us at the last minute because of rain, about an hour after they had assured us it was going to go as planned and we started walking down there through the pouring rain.
