Now That's a Nice Gator!

We had an amazing time on the Airboat Swamp Tour with Ragin Cajun! Since we didn't rent a car during our trip, we opted for the shuttle service, and it was absolutely the right choice. The pickup was easy, convenient, and took all the stress out of getting there. I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into the tour, but it exceeded our expectations. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable, entertaining, and full of interesting stories about the local wildlife, history, and culture. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed sharing his expertise. The airboat ride itself was thrilling and a lot of fun, but the highlight was definitely seeing the alligators up close. Watching these incredible animals in their natural habitat was unforgettable. In fact, one gator came right up to the boat, making for one of the best photos of our trip! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Great transportation, a great guide, an exciting ride, and amazing wildlife sightings. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans.

Massive disappointment

Not to trust changing reservations. We showed up with a voucher for 5 people at 12:00 and there was no record that our reservations had been changed from 10:00 for 8 people. They did have our original reservation and we were a “no show” for that boat ride. The people at Ragin Cajun could not have been nicer. They offered us a small boat ride for no additional fees. at 2:00. We were in able to take advantage of that great offer due to our trip schedule. This activity was to be the highlight of our trip for the kids. It was just such a disappointment.
