Nothing much.

The tour was okay but misleading. There are no different environments. You travel down the main canal and here a bit about it. Turn and come back. They throw dog food and alligators come (they say for fish) which is pretty questionable. There were no stops and we saw a turtle and a bird.

We were not taken to the Bayou as stated in the description. There is no place to get lunch. You have to drive 5-10 minutes away from the location.

There was heavy rain and lightning during our scheduled tour time so we did not go for safety reasons. Company would not cancel/ reschedule or refund us and tried to convince us to go out on the water in lightning.

Slow moving gators ambiance on boat Jason’s narration. We enjoyed the relaxed boat trip, fully 80 minutes. Informative and interesting. Easy to buy tickets online. Shuttle from French Quarter would have been appreciated. Cost us $75 with private driver to get to Lafitte Swamp Tour from our Airbnb.

Amazing Experience!

This tour was absolutely amazing. We saw a ton of alligators. From big ten foot alligators to baby alligators, we were able to see them all. Our tour guide was great and very informative. He answered all of our questions and even more. The scenery alone was absolutely stunning. The boat was comfortable and safe which was great for us. We had a four year old with and felt extremely safe the whole time. Our guide even gave some history of the area which was fun to hear and learn about. We definitely would recommend this tour!
