The scenery is impressive. My wife, two teen daughters and I joined another half dozen or more tourists. and we paddled deep into the swamp. The gear was plenty good. Our guide gave the general history and answered questions along the way. We saw alligators, turtles, egrets, herons, all sunbathing. The weather was sunny with a high of 70°F and our tour started at noon which made the environment very comfortable. A couple of days later, my family visited NOMA and saw paintings 🖼️ of the swamp, and we could related.
