My whole family loved this experience! We brought our 2 kids (ages 11 & 13). Captain Ernie was incredible with his fun spirit as well as his vast knowledge of the bayou! You will not be disappointed, this is a must do experience! Also I recommend the noon tour (we saw a ton of gators)!!!!

Our guide was Ernie; a grandfather who grew up in these swamps and studied alligators his whole life. He knew all the spots to find them, and gave us all a wealth of knowledge and understanding of how they live and how we can respectfully visit and share their environment.

The tour was SO much fun! Our tour was with Bebop and he was great. He made the tour, he was funny and obviously loves what he does. I would highly recommend this tour.

This swamp tour was excellent! Captain Ernie was the best and super accommodating for our large group! He knew his stuff and made sure we saw tons of gators. Couldn’t recommend more!!! Definitely a must see on your trip to New Orleans.

There is nothing quite like a LA swamp tour. We got lucky enough to have Ernie be our captain and he was great. Very knowledgeable about the swamp and all things living in it. Highly recommend.
