Yes. Bring any snacks and drinks you want on the boat.
Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, a light rain jacket, sunglasses, and a hat. Bring cash if you want to tip the guide and driver.
The swamp tour can run in the rain, but it does not operate with lightning or dangerous conditions. The captain makes the final call, and you’ll be notified if your tour is canceled due to weather.
I picked this tour due to the fact that they don’t feed/bait any animals (which was very important to me), offer smaller group sizes, and can pick you up from your hotel. There was a total of four adults on a small boat that could hold up to 8 people. Sunny was our captain for the day and she lived up to her name! She is a biologist and gave us lots of great information about the bayou. We were able to see two alligators, two turtles, and a handful of birds. Overall this was a fun way to spend the morning and get out of the city!
