Happiness Bayou Tours

Captin George does a fantastic, entertaining, and informative narrative. Money well spent!

I went on a swamp tour with this company and had one of my most favorite times of my life. Captain George was so cool in his story, his family's stories and just about life. Our group started in the bar that is his and his wife.Our group was the entire boat and for the next at least 2 hours, we had the best time. He answered all questions and added his twists to the story. Stopped halfway at his fish camp and it was amazing. I offered to buy it.The trip was over to soon. We finished at the bar with cocktails and food.Samantha is an really good cook. Met some locals (Kelly and Lammy) I set between them and got more stories. It was everything and more.Go do it people, you wont be disappointed.

If I could give more stars I would! First trip to NO and had the best time! Everything you'd want and more! Cap'n George has the the best info/stories. Not your generic tour guide, true life guy who lives and loves his home! Real gem, his wife Samantha! The smile and sweet accent! Have food people, SO Good!

Holy Cow! I can't say enough about this experience! The captain George, and his wife take amazing care of their guests. They were so kind and helped us organize our trip perfectly. George gave a tour only a professional could give. He has gators on payroll... And I promise you, you will not regret booking this tour to find out what that means. If I could reincarnate after death, first thing I'm doing is going on a Happiness Bayou Tour.

Captain George was amazing. He was very informative. He made sure everyone was safe & having a great time. I would highly recommend. If you're thinking about booking the tour, please do. You will enjoy it. The nature & animals. The bayou is beautiful.

We just had the BEST tour with Captain George! He has a vast amount of knowledge about the animals and the water systems as well as the marsh, rivers and swamps. While this tour is informative, the best part are George's stories! Best part of visiting NOLA was this tour. 10/10

Capt. George deserves much more than a 5 star review! Since it was so late in the season, there were not many gators out and about as they were in hibernation. Not seeing a lot of gators did not detract from the tour AT ALL because of how fabulous Captain George was and how much history and knowledge he had about the area, wildlife, and his surroundings. Captain George was born and raised in the swamp and boy, let me tell ya, I learned SO MUCH in the short time spent with him. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in a unique tour experience.Few Pro's:+ BYOB on board the boat.+ Capt. takes you to his "camp" (basically his second home) halfway through the tour for potty stops and souvenirs.+ Cost was great! $40/person for 2.5 hours.+ Great for all ages. We were a group of 30-somethings, but there were kids/families on board as well.+ Local/family company - it is only George and his brother that run the actual tours. Love supporting those with their own businesses and passions!+ Although we didn't see many gators, we did get to see other sea life. Capt. George has crabbing cages all over the place and will pull some up to show you.

Absolutely the best thing to do on your visit to the New Orleans area! Cannot wait to come back..this will be the first thing I book!

Pleasant guide ,captain knew history o bayou made trip interesting! I'd recommend him to travelers

The BEST bayou tour i have ever taken. Capt. George grew up in the area and knows everything about anything in the bayou. He engages everyone and loves what he does. Have you ever seen someone kiss a gator??? You will if you choose this your! The bar is small, quaint and absolutely fits the genre. The staff is amazing and wish i lived closer so I could be a local. Highly recommend.
