My coworkers and I were in New Orleans for a convention and decided to do this excursion, we were not disappointed at all, the tour guide was very knowledgeable of the surroundings. We saw some alligators along our way, the people was very friendly and respectful. Will surely visit this place on ...

Wow! What a trip! Kin the driver to and from the location was entertaining and full of information. The swamp boat company was fantastic and nothing prepared me for the beauty of the landscapes or see alligators in their natural habitat.

Transportation is provided to and from JAX Brewery. The facility is clean, nothing fancy, sells souvenirs and to-go drinks for the ride. Our driver took us on the bayou for 90 minutes. Plenty of seating. He found plenty of alligators for us to see.

What a blast seeing the beauty of the swamp and bayous! The gator encounters were fabulous. Our guide was humorous and knew his “stuff”. Great time.
