We had a party of 8 people go on the mid morning swamp tour in mid March. I liked how the bus ride even included history and information about the area. The weather was perfect. Captain Jacob was very knowledgeable, and had so many facts about the swamp and it's wildlife. It was such a fun adventure. The boat was canopied so getting sunburned wasn't an issue. We saw snakes, turtles, raccoons, and gators. The wild pigs were either shy or lazy that day, so we missed them. But this was one of the best experiences for our group in New Orleans. I highly recommend this tour to other couples, groups, or families.
