Would highly recommend doing this tour again. The boat ride alone was fun and Trey was an excellent guide. Great information, even slowing down and circling gators to make sure everyone got a good view of the gators. Trey was knowledgeable of this history of the bayou and canal. He was also fun and funny, excellent driver. Answered questions. I would do this tour again.

The airboat was so much fun. I was concerned we might not see alligator but we saw plenty. The guide was feeding them marshmallows and he allowed me to feed one. The guide also had a baby alligator on the boat that we passed around. Loved the entire experience!
