We all loved the tour of such a unique and rare environment. The whole experience was super smooth, convenient and reasonably priced. The 22 foot boat (with a canopy) was quite a bit more comfortable than I expected. It was a crazy hot day, but the ride never felt uncomfortable. We were not bothered by any bugs, unless you count the weirdly-tame giant grasshoppers that were everywhere. The crown jewel of the tour was journeying into a serene and beautiful slough to see the famous Whiskey Tree - which was featured in Disney's Princess and the Frog. We saw plenty of gators, giant lumpkin grasshoppers, a curious racoon, and a Limpkin even screamed at us with its distinctively loud and annoying call. It was a great trip!

One of the best dinner cruises I have been on! I decided to partake in the buffet dinner just to…read moreget the full experience. I selected the 6PM seating time so that I would be done with the meal by the time the Steamboat Natchez starts moving around 7PM. The dining area interior space was lovely and expansive with chandeliers, as well as a stage area. Each table had a bowl of Caesar Salad placed there already. Lettuce was nice and crunchy, with plenty of tangy dressing and croutons. Upon being seated, the server took drink orders and I selected Iced Tea (one of the complimentary beverages being offered). The Iced Tea was sweet and refreshing. Next, we were served Gumbo with rice, which was warm, flavorful, and comforting. As for the buffet, there was Shrimp Pasta, a few different saucy dishes made with veggies and meat, potatoes with bacon and peas, Prime Rib, Fried Chicken, and Green Beans. I really enjoyed the Shrimp Pasta, which was made with creamy, well seasoned sauce, and tender shrimp. The saucy dishes were cooked well and bold in flavor. Prime Rib was a little tough. Fried Chicken was delightfully crispy, but a bit on the dry side and could have used more flavor. Green Beans had a perfect consistency with yummy seasoning. For dessert, I tried both the Bread Pudding and Cheesecake with tasty coffee. Both were delicious in their own way. Bread Pudding was dense, with a milky, velvety smooth topping, while the Cheesecake was more light and airy, yet still rich. Service was solid. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Everything (drinks, appetizer, dessert, coffee) came out in a timely manner and the main dishes were part of the buffet. When done eating, I went out to take in golden hour sunset, then headed up to the top deck, where I found a seat. Live jazz music was performed throughout the evening. It was a perfect night for feeling the wind in my hair, watching the skyline go by along the Mississippi River, and the twinkling lights of the city as the sky turned dark. I really enjoyed myself on this iconic Jazz Cruise along Mississippi River.

Bar had good options from local beers to specialty cocktails and you could even buy snacks! I had a sweet tooth and got a chocolate covered elephant ear which was literally the size of my head! Cruise was long but it was nice to just sit around and see the city from a different view!

I'm glad he was because it was such a cool experience. Everything was so personal and easy from booking to check in to bidding our awesome captain goodbye. We had captain Woody and I'd 100% recommend him if you get a choice. He was funny and so knowledgable and his passion for the work they do was apparent. His knowledge of each individual gator was endearing and impressive. Logistically it was only a 30-40 min drive from NOLA and very easy to find. On Woody's recommendation, we went to an adorable restaurant called Spahr's afterword and had some delicious seafood with a view full of gators in their backyard!

The boat ride through the marsh felt exciting--almost like drifting quickly over water while still being smooth and safe.

We booked transportation through them as well, which ran $72. For comparison, I checked Uber pricing and it was about $65 one way, and there were plenty of Ubers available near the tour location. The staff was friendly and easy to work with from the start. I ended up needing to change our date, and they were very accommodating, which I appreciated. Once we arrived at their headquarters, the place was clean, well kept, and had a true "bayou" feel to it. One interesting thing, they actually own the swamp land, so you're essentially touring their backyard... with alligators included. We were assigned Captain Matt, and he made the experience. You could tell he genuinely cares about the wildlife and the ecosystem, which added a lot to the tour. It wasn't just a ride, it felt informative and authentic. The tour lasted about 1 hour and 45 minutes. We chose to sit in the front, which meant getting a little wet, but the views were absolutely worth it, especially when the captain started interacting with the gators. Overall, this was money well spent. We had a great time and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting New Orleans.
