By the time we arrived there was heavy rain forecasted. Everybody was in a poncho. That ist no fun on a 90 minutes boat tour. Of course hosts did not want to cancel to avoid refunds.Full review by U3893QOsandras

No restriction on the number in your party; from 1 to 12 or so. Have a small and large boats; very accommodating. Jump on their website and make a reservation; can include transport from most NOLA hotels too! Have fun!
The small boat tour, that I recommend, is $85 per person if you drive yourself there. If they transport you there, it is more: I think $105 per person. The larger boats are less per person. …
The small boat tour, that I recommend, is $85 per person if you drive yourself there. If they transport you there, it is more: I think $105 per person. The larger boats are less per person. We loved the small boat with Captain Kelly.
What is the best time of day to take a tour? We're scheduling for early July. Thanks!

I also agree with CarlCJ79. My wife and I enjoyed our excursion in November when it was not quite so hot and humid, and there were practically no mosquitoes. Make sure to take a good camera that you can jump back and forth with video and still pictures. You will want a good zoom lens that you can adjust on the fly. The boat operator will pull into a location (there are many) where you will just stop and the propelling fan turned off. If you are like me, you will have it in the back of your mind that the fan WILL start back up. Gators will swim in from a distance, and some will surprise you right next to the boat. They blend in with the swamp really well. But not to worry. Most of these operators were born and raised near these swamps and have been doing these tours a long time. They even know the gators by name. AND THE GATORS KNOW THEM!!! You will have an unforgettable time!
