  Our guide Andrew was very knowledgeable, both on the history of the place and the natural history we saw amazing habitats and "went real fast". The boat was sturdy and the ride was fun. We saw a lot for the time of year and temperatures, got lucky with the wildlife. It was really neat to see how the habitats change as you move throughout the river system. Excellent experience, great way to end our trip in New Orleans.

  A fabulous tour through the swamps and wetland grasses of the Pearl River basin. Jessica, a lifetime local, provided insights about the flora, fauna, and history that only a passionate expert could offer! We spent 2 hours together visiting sites impacted by Hurricane Katrina and Indian Village. She enthusiastically explained the ecosystem and answered our numerous questions about the differences between marshes and the bayou. And she has a remarkable eye for locating wildlife. I would highly recommend this tour. Overall 10/10.

  If you care about the environment, or want a more authentic bayou experience, this is the tour to go on. We were on a small, comfortable boat that could get into the shallower less explored areas. Our guide Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable about the local animals and plants and importantly, this is the only tour that doesn't bait the alligators. Which is a big deal, because feeding them makes them dependant on humans. You see the huge, touristy boats pass you while you're out there, packed with people talking through megaphones. Our experience was the opposite of that, thankfully. Highly recommend this.

  Jake was our guide. He was friendly and educated and seemed to enjoy sharing his knowledge. I’d suggest following his recommendations on food, etc—we loved everything that was suggested. This is not your average “touristy” tour. We learned a ton and were deeply moved by the experiences Beyond the Bayou packed into this tour.

  Oh it was amazing! Great guide and fantastic scenery. Peaceful yet breathtaking tour. We did the Paddle and Plantation tour. Plantation was really informative and great as well. Personally did not love the lunch spot (star removed for lunch), but they had a good mint julep!
