Seeing the alligators was a highlight. Our guide was very informative and entertaining. I would recommend this for anyone not familiar with swamps and marshes.

This was a fun outing and a great way to see the Louisiana swamps and bayous. Our guide was funny and entertaining and went to a number of hot spots where we saw 4-6 foot gators. Then to a place where we interacted with an 8-10 foot gator. I grew up in SC and have seen a lot of gators but it was fun to watch those who have not. We enjoyed the airboat ride and the beauty for the bayou.
