Captain Ron has clearly mastered the art of showing off Caddo Lake's enchanting cypress groves and Spanish moss-draped landscape. Visitors consistently praise his deep knowledge of the area's history, flora, and fauna, along with his engaging storytelling style that brings the lake to life. His wife Jean gets special mentions for her warm hospitality, greeting guests with genuine care that bookends the experience perfectly. The tours run around two hours and take you through the lake's most captivating spots, with plenty of wildlife sightings including herons and other birds. What stands out is Ron's genuine passion for protecting this natural treasure. Guests notice small touches like him stopping to retrieve trash left by others, showing real environmental stewardship. The atmosphere feels almost magical, especially on sunset tours when the light filters through the ancient trees. Photographers appreciate that he takes time for photo opportunities, and families find him engaging for all ages. Reviewers describe feeling transported to a fairy tale setting, and many are already planning return visits for different seasons. The pricing is considered excellent value for what you experience.
This is a definite must do when you’re in the area. We stayed at Caddo Lake State Park, and this tour was about 10 minutes from there. Ron is incredibly knowledgeable and the entire experience was so interesting!
