Looks like a lovely experience. I’ve been fascinated by the bayou for a long time, perhaps from some horror film set there. I think the landscape looks amazing and the chance to spot all those critters is definitely a plus even though I agree with you, they shouldn’t be fed. I’d love to visit.

In reply to Jennifer. Agreed Jennifer. The bayous are so full of gators the baiting is truly unneeded and unsafe.

In reply to Mary @ Green Global Travel. Thanks Mary. We weren't aware of the practice at all until we were on the boat. That's why we felt it was important to share that point, so readers could make an educated decision beforehand.

I sure would hate to see a little boy get his arm bitten off due to an alligator mistaking it for a marshmallow. Very unfortunate and down right negligent. Good for you for pointing the good and bad about the tour.

Beautiful photos – I love swamp tours mainly for the wildlife sightings. It’s something different and always fun!

I’d love to have the opportunity to explore the swampy south! Crocodiles and alligators intrigue me, although as Mary points out the practice of baiting the alligators is something that would deter me from joining this tour. The landscape looks fantastic and those racoons so cheeky with their bandit Esq appearance!

It’s a shame that they bait the animals. I’m sure the gators know when the boats come that they’ll get a snack. I’d rather just have the chance at seeing gators than for them to bait them.

Beautiful photos. Unfortunately, due to the marshmallow feeding practice we decided not to go on this tour. Thanks for sharing your experience.
