Really worth seeing! Great experience! Highly recommend. Not only are you able to see the gators up close, but you are also able to see other wildlife such as wild boars and raccoons.

Leaping alligators ! ???? Seeing them in the wild gave me a whole new respect for this fascinating, ancient, & intelligent creature! Captain John was very knowledgeable & entertaining.

Tanya Williams

A great way to tour the swamps and see the wildlife . The gators and the boars were seriously cool to see up close. The price is worth it if you're getting picked up since they'll come to your hotel !

Amanda Bell

Loved having Captain Greg as our tour guide. We got to see lots of alligators , a raccoon, and wild boar . The stray cats are skittish but friendly .

A great experience if you’re visiting the area. We saw so much natural wildlife ! They also pick you up and drop you off.

Jonathan Discount

Good tour , saw alligators , birds, snakes and even wild pigs . Our tour guide also gave us a good overview on the subsistence living on the river . But you see many more gators in the warmer months.

Captain Greg was fun and meaningful in his guidance during the tour . We saw a lot of alligators , raccoons and birds apart from the swamps and the flora. Highly recommended

Amazing tour guide, Captain Bishop . He has a genuine interest and knowledge of the wildlife and history out there. He was really funny and made the night time tour well worth your money. Do it!!

Tracey Lozano

We took the small boat tour ; well worth the extra money! Ryan, our captain was fabulous! Would definitely recommend!

Denette

Did 3 tours with them. City/Cemetary, Plantation, and Swamp. Our guides were great. January is not the time to see gators . They had a baby indoors.

Really well organized tour with knowledgeable guides

Tim Hettler

Like all wildlife tours , it's a bit of a crapshoot whether you'll see anything. That said, just being out on the river is a cool experience.

Victoria Isfahani

On the FIRST night swamp tour at night of the year. Awesome time we saw lots of alligators , birds and other wildlife .....very peaceful too

The tour is great. Wait 'til the spring when alligators stop hibernating. Our witty Capt. Bishop found some cooperative gators who beckoned to his commands to eat hot dogs & marshmallows . Super fun!

The night tour is worth the extra cost because you get to hear the frogs, see the wild boars and gaze at the stars.

Same rules apply as the school bus . Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.
