Nice place in general and they were preparing for wedding day it seemed. But the overall garden, maze, and other attractions were small and made the trip not worth the time or the money. There were some places where trash were thrown out etc. it took 30 min to look at most of it, taking time. Not worth going unless you're in a wedding event.

Cat Island is a tranquil refuge nestled in the backwoods of the Feliciana's. I've been to Cat…read moreIsland many times throughout the years with some family whom are fisherman. As I've gotten older, I have much appreciation for the beauty that is Cat Island. Usually when I go there are people fishing, and others enjoying being out on the water, lounging on boats and even swimming. When there is a hard rain sometimes it can lead to river levels increasing and some flooding and the roads may be impassible to get to Cat Island. I love in some areas how the how the body of water looks like an oasis and an island. There are also beautiful moss trees. This is a nice day trip to adventure to when nature calls.

Meh, glad we went, but would not book with them and cannot recommend. We decided to book and drive…read moreourselves there since it was a bit more expensive for us to drive than pay for three people to go from their office in downtown. They told us to be there 15 minutes before our tour start time and we were there 20 minutes before, but the tour guide was 10 minutes late past the start of the tour itself. We thought we were in the wrong place and tried to get in contact with the tour agency. Got voicemail the first time and it was this random woman's number, but then called the same number a minute later and a guy told us the tour operator was on his way and then needed to pick up the supplies. It seems that they should have communicated that earlier and they should have a better system in place. The launch from the boat area was into a busy area right under the freeway and our guide basically was like hangout there and wait for me. That foreshadowed the rest of the tour for us, he basically was distant from us most of the tour, either way in front or way behind and we were a total tour of four people. There was no discussion about what we would see beyond him showing us alligators. At one point we were in the deeper section and a massive log was in the way, he went over and faced the opposite direction while the four of us struggled to get our kayaks over the log. He told us to go around and we got stuck because it was more elevated on the side and just sat on his phone the entire time while we helped each other. I get we were a group coming together, but it felt like he just told us which way to go, but didn't do any real guiding. We even helped him load and unload the supplies from the kayak. I think this tour company needs to be better organized and train their guides on what they should do to become tour guides.
