The tour was equally enjoyable. Our captain, Jacob was very knowledgeable about the area, wildlife and landscapes, and was very capable maneuvering the john boat.

"I’ve been to few of the swamp tours before. This one was the best! Captain Tim was very informative and his driving skills was top notch (no one over board) 😆 I saw so many alligators up close and personal. I highly recommend the small private boat (12 people) rather than the bigger boat. You just get the best experience out of it. I saw a boar, owl, birds, turtles, and many alligators from all over the boat. Captain Tim.." says Jing on Google
