Customer Reviews
Ean (Ian?) was awesome as our captain, pilot, & all-knowing tour guide! Very enjoyable, educational, & fun! Saw 2 alligators, 1 being 7-feet long & close to the airboat, so mission accomplished. Thank you!
Took the small airboat tour with Captain Bebop. Very fun and informative. He’s a colorful character. It was the wrong time of the year to see much gator activity, but we did see a young one sunning himself. Towards the end, he brought out the “Star of the show,” a six month old gator named Frankie. That was a real thrill to be able to hold the little guy. Highly recommend this trip.
This was an A1 experience! Kenny our guide was equal parts knowledgeable, safe and injected just the right amount of dry Cajun humor 😜. We really lucked out with regard to weather in December. Kenny spotted a good number of Alligators for us, putting us in good position to view them. But there were turtles and birds as well. When weather permits you can even catch a glimpse of downtown NO in the distance. I took the fast boat tour which I wholly endorse for the fun factor. If you have sensitive ears they provide headphones (if you want) that help blunt the noise.
