    We had an amazing time!! We almost were late, but we contacted the company on the way down from the French Quarter and they were very understanding and they did a head count before we left. We ended up not being late, but the tour still waited about 10 minutes because 2 people were missing. They didn't make it, but you can't really hold up a group of 20+ people forever. Ernie was FANTASTIC. He knows so much about the area and the waters. He was funny, kind, and you can tell he really loves what he does. For those of you who don't carry cash, pick some up before you leave New Orleans, because they cannot take electronic tips unfortunately and they have an atm, but we also only carry credit cards so we couldn't take money out there. 10/10 would recommend. Bring a jacket if you're going in off-season, it was a beautiful day, but it gets a bit chilly once you start moving. See more..

    This was one of the last activities on our 12 day US road trip and was something I (the dad/husband of the family) had asked to do. My wife and kids (daughter of 16 and son of 21) were quite open in saying they didn't really fancy it but I am really pleased to say they loved the swamp tour as much as I did. I would have been happy seeing one gator but at one point we had about seven around the boat and the raccoons were amazing to see too. See more..

27. 4.0 Golden Nugget Casino (1.292 reviews)
    - Good times and lots of food options
    Casinos
    
    
    Room was really nice. No cleaning service due to COVID but you can get extra stuff if needed. Restaurant service at Vic and Anthony’s was also good. Casino floor was hopping. Only 3 people at table and limits start at $25. Several slots have plexiglass between machines or machines are turned off with no chair. Overall think they are doing well. One comment is when they wipe down machines, they need to spray rag first then wipe down machine. If you spray directly on to machine the liquids are sleeping into machine. ( basically like spilling a drink on your phone or computer). Cause the machine to glitch. And has to be restarted and wiped dry. Overall great time See more..

    We managed to book onto a 4pm swamp tour with Jason, this was great and totally better than expected, we saw an abundance of wildlife inc alligators, herons and a bald eagle. Jason was very knowledgeable and at time cracked the odd joke. He brought out a tiny alligator for people to gently hold and have a personal photo opportunity, I liked how this was included and not charged separately like other establishments would such as zoo’s. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to New Orleans area. See more..

    Cannot recommend this business enough! Hunter was our tour guide. While it was "off"-season for gators, the tour did not disappoint! Hunter was very knowledgeable on the local plants, fish, hunting, etc. He gave us a prime example of southern hospitality and was absolutely hilarious. There was a young boy (maybe 5 years old) on the tour, and Hunter was outstanding at keeping him entertained. We used our "go city" passes for the tour and gladly tipped Hunter for the experience. From start to finish, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. Thanks Hunter! (Give two-chainz a hug for us.) See more..

    This warehouse, gift shop & museum is owned by the Robertson family of "Duck Dynasty" fame. Duck Commander was built on passion, pride and faith. It's uncommon to have an occupation that allows you to do what you truly love. The Duckmen do just that. We've come a long way since Phil jumped in his truck in the 70's and sold his duck calls "one at a time." Now Duck Commander is a brand that speaks to more than just the waterfowler. It represents a way of life; one of faith, family and the opportunity to live off the land. We have a line of duck calls that go back to 1972 when Phil patented the first double reed system. We have both low-end and high-end calls as well as calls for several different species of ducks. See more..
