First comment is why aircon must run at full power ? Sitting inside during hours is reason to catch cold, at this time, temperature is not so high lîke hot summer! I was suffering from cold blowing
Visit of plantation is interesting but not so much to see.
Swamp tour guide is great …
Organization about visitors to get to which bus among a few ones must be revised for back ride
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We do our best to keep our guests comfortable, so please let the driver know so that he can adjust accordingly. Sometimes he may not know that guests are too cold or too hot.
Angelique_M, Apr 2024
Tour guides were engaging and very knowledgeable! Lots of information was shared. The bus rides from the plantation to the swap tour was about 1.25 hours, which was longer than we thought it would be. Long day…

Excellent tour guide, Anne, at the Plantation.
Bus driver nicknamed Pumpkin was terrific; never made anyone feel like they were in a rush and shared a lot of information.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for the five-star review, Jason!
Sherri_S, Mar 2024
The tour was excellent, featuring friendly guides and comfortable transportation. The large boat used in the swamp boat tour significantly outshines the airboats employed by other companies.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for the five-star review, Sherri!
