Our travel companions were from the UK making it a once in a lifetime experience. The swamp always brings me closer to God. I couldn't have asked for a better day Weather wise to be on the water.

For me, it was worth going out on a limb and going with this guide that had no website. I wanted one that didn't feed the gators. This was one of two. Called the number listed, made sure that I could make it there for 10, and I added I would be "the chic on the bike". Two gator spottings, a couple of turtles and A LOT of water hyacinth(which, by the way, he taught me that the flower petal is VERY tasty(which it is, I tried it)). All of the needs can be found in the bayou! If you're willing to listen and learn something, it's well worth it. Not recommended for young children(probably 10-11 and up). WHEN I come back to this area I will definitely search out Captain Tony! He doesn't feed the gators and doesn't condone it either...

My partner and I booked a last minute swamp kayak tour with The Last Wilderness. Calling was easy…read moreand Silvia was very nice when I called again to let them know we were caught in traffic. Al met us at Dale's Trading Post to lead us to the launch point which was a short drive down the road. Don't worry, no off-road experience was necessary to get to the river. The swamp tour itself was fantastic. Al was a very knowledgeable guide and talked about the cypress trees, ecology of the basin, and was full of fun facts about the animals we saw. I very much appreciated that the tour was pretty quiet as it allowed for a more intimate experience with the swamp With minimal disturbance of the wildlife. It was an easy paddle and there was little to no current so I would say this tour is very novice friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

our tour guide, Al, was very prompt in meeting us at the trading post and introduced himself to…read moreeverybody, and then we took off to the marina parking lot. He was very gracious and considerate of the ladies helping them onto the boat. Throughout our tour of the swamp he kept usinformed with lots of knowledge about the birds we saw and the trees. He also was able to get us up close views of several alligators from little ones and also a bigger one about 5 foot which was awesome. thank you very much Al for a great tour.

I didn't have cell service once we got there and there are not bathrooms. But there is a dollar general down the street.

If you've made it here it's likely you've experienced some of the best of Cajun Country which is not only about the scenery but about the hospitality of it's people and the food which is some of the best you'll find anywhere. This is one of the most tranquil self guide tours you may ever experience and spending time here will not only reconnect you with nature but also give you a renewed appreciation for the importance of the preservation of these areas. It's also a place that you can visit over and over again and never get bored, so whether it's only a few hours or the entire day a visit to Avery Island is well worth your time - I always discover something new...

You can see from the beginning to end of how Tabasco is produced and the time and effort put into it. And then be sure to stop in the gift shop for samples of the sauce and then a tasty sample of some spicy ice cream which will feel so weird as you try that jalapeño ice cream that's cold in your mouth but burns down your the ought. Strangest thing ever lol. Then be sure to head over to the jungle garden tour. I recommend driving through although you can walk through if you'd like. But if you drive through there are places to park along the way and get out and walk also. Be sure to download the tour app so you have the audio map to guide you and speak along your route. Loved this part of nature and history.
