Well run fun informative Capt Mark love of the land and ecosystem shone through plus our driver Cornell was awesome highly recommend
Our driver Derek was great! He told us all about the city and recommended some good places to eat in NOLA on the way to the tour. Our tour boat Captain Kevin was so nice and engaging. His fun personality made all the difference in the experience we had. This bayou tour was the most fun we had on our trip to NOLA!
Fabulous 2 hour boat trip with Captain Jacob. So knowledgeable and found all the wildlife you could wish for, highlight of our holiday.
