This was a tough decision for us to make.  Bruce and Miss Janet have been so busy with events, campground events, meet & greets and filming in 2023.  We don't think it's fair to book boat tours and have to cancel them because of an event or filming.  We understand that some of our tour groups plan their vacations, birthdays or important trips around these tours. We had to cancel 2 boat tours this year and we don't want that to happen again!  We will post on fb with any updates or if anything changes.  For now, we are not booking any tours for 2024.

We appreciate the support and understanding for each and every one of you!

Why are we different?

This is not a huge group tour – Bruce will be your guide – you will be riding in the same 20ft surface drive boat Go Devil boat that he hunts gators in! Bruce was born and raised hunting in the passes and bayous b/w Lake Maurepas and the famous Lake Pontchartrain! You will get a one on one adventure with Bruce as he guides you through the swamps, bayous and passes with stories, landmarks and let's not forget the animals you may see! Gators, snakes, turtles, nutria rats, frogs, birds and so much more! Every where you look the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
