Traveler reviews
Wonderful, definitely a must-see experience!
Boat operator/tour guide Dustin was superb! He did a fantastic job seeking out the most unique/cool/noteworthy/fun critters and really gave our group a wonderfully comprehensive look into all the different ecosystems/different parts of the swamp and the distinctive wildlife that can be found there. So so so much fun while also being a great and interactive learning opportunity!! I've been on a few of these swamp tours with Cajun Encounters over the years and they're always fantastic (whether you're with a friend/group, or just doing some solo adventure-seeking!), but this one with Dustin was by far the best. I really appreciated that he didn't rush and really took his time making sure we got to see ALL the best things he could find for us this time of year/that time of day. Perfect length. I think we had a full group on our boat but it didn't feel crowded at all and still felt like a personalized experience. Absolutely worth the money. Special thanks to Dustin for being a particularly great guide (I'm sorry we forgot to bring cash or else we would have left a tip--maybe next time!).
Swamp tour - wildlife and nature superb
Caltain dustin did a great job on the 5pm tour! Very knowledgeable and also pretty funny 👍
Excellent experience
Something different from New Orleans The place is quiet although I think it is seasonal We saw few alligators but it was entertaining enjoying the guide's explanations and the landscapes We saw a large alligator and a couple of raccoons that made our day
spiders and gators and racoons oh my
We went early so it wouldn't be too hot. The tour guide was quite personable and knowledgeable. The boat was steady. I did not feel like danger was lurking at any time. They take good care of you and get right up to the alligators, racoons, big black grasshoppers, and show you spiders living in trees that would scare the snot out of you if you were too close. lol. Fabulous tour quite enjoyed it and the guide.
Amazing tour
Captain Chris gave an amazing tour and experience!
