zam's bayou swamp tours印象

The tour started out with the guides allowing anyone to hold some snakes and/or pet the rabbit they had. Then we went to the small zoo (for lack of a better word) across the street. There the guide let people hold some small alligators and turtles. Then he took us over the large alligator pen which he got into show us the gators. Then on to the large Alligator Snapping Turtle. The guide did a great job of interacting with the animals and educating people about them. The tour was nice an relaxing. You start out going under a bridge that raises and lowers for boats. The only thing I think that could have been better would be a little more history of the area and/or more information about the different type of plants growing in the bayou. The guide did cover some of the stuff in the bayou, and some local history. The guide did a great job of interacting with the kids that were on the tour!

I'm a local, and have only done swamp tours when friends have visited from out of state. I've done tours with 2 other (more popular) companies. These other companies have charter buses that pick all guests up from their hotels and transport them to the tour. If you haven't rented a car, then I guess you'll have to settle for one of those tours. If you DO have access to transportation, it is absolutely worth the trip out to Kraemer. We had a group of 10 people .. 8 of the 10 were running late, but everything was so laid back (not unorganized as other reviews have stated) the tour guides were perfectly fine with waiting til the whole group arrived. We got to hold and pet snakes over 100lbs, and walk through the family's farm which had alligators, goats, chickens, racoons, rabbits, and HUGE snapping turtles. Our tour guide got into the cage with the alligator and played with him ... legitimately touched his mouth and face ... it was crazy. He did the same thing w the snapping turtle. We then hopped on the boat. We saw only about 5 gators, but it's not like the tour guides can control when the WILD animals come out to play. They are in the wild afterall. If you want guaranteed alligator sightings, the Audubon Zoo is right up the road! :) Our tour guides have all been on Louisiana reality shows. They were fun, lively, and AUTHENTIC cajun people. Very very very interesting for those of you from out of town looking for a very unique experience. Food was delicious as well (again, this is coming from a local) WARNING: If driving, be careful. There is one very dangerous, winding, road leading to the tour, drive carefully!

The Trip was not bad, but the stuff was very unorganised. I felt bad for the animals on the farm in the little cages..Tourgide was very quiet..We got stuck in the Swamp cause he went to far to one side.. It was scary and he didn't want to call for help (very stuborn and proud) so we just called the house and they sent some strong boys to get us out of the misery.. I would not go again on this trip, but I can highly recommend the swamp.. We saw many turtles, birds andbig alligators!

being fromVermont I was totally fascinated with going on a swamp boat tour- Zam's tour was amazing. We saw titles, birds and lots of alligators. I highly recommend going on one of these tours.

This was our 14th trip in 3 years: imo, for the best swamp tour for out of towners and for a very relaxing, serene boat ride for Louisianans--Zam's Bayou Swamp Tours are my favorite place to go.Staff are welcoming and friendly and eager to share their Cajun outlook. They are happy to share information or spin a tale -- very accommodating to their guests. For our group, Capt. Diego spoke about the history and ecology of the bayou and how the early Cajun settlers learned to provide for their families from the bounty of the land. Entertaining and informative; Capt. Diego is a knowledgeable host who takes the time to personalize each experience for his guests.If you only have the opportunity for one swamp tour while in the great state of Louisiana, this one is well worth the time spent. We are looking forward to more trips down da bayou and up da lake with Capt. Diego.

What a lovely time! The owners Diane and her family, and the workers all were so wonderfully polite and friendly. A perfectly lovely family and good simple food. Although this was a lovely change of pace...I found the tour of the bayou a bit lack luster. ZZ is a good kid - alas, a lousy tour guide. He often rambles and isn't overly informative. So if possible - ask for another guide. No gators on our tour as it was a bit too cool for them to show but the ones on the property were interesting enough. If you're going to do this tour, make sure you do it in warm weather.

Even though my kids and I came down to Louisiana in the winter, they wanted to see some gators in the wild. We had a fabulous time listening and talking with ZZ. The stories and facts that he shared are something that we will talk about for years to come. I highly recommend this to anyone who comes this way!

Our group had an awesome time!! Unorganized as some have said but that adds to the charm. ZZ was quite a character and we all enjoyed his antics! We missed out on eating at the restaurant, they were closed but I heard it is great! They give you a "backyard tour" before the boat ride that was interesting and fun. Best part is you can bring a cooler of beer on the boat!! If your looking for a laid back authentic experience this is the place for ya!

If you want a genuine Cajun experience or you are hooked on the history of the Bayou and love the show Swamp People, then look no further than Zams Swamp Tour. It was fun and educational. And who doesn't want to go home and tell people they held a baby alligator? My family loved this tour and will remember it for a lifetime. Also don't forget to go and have a po'boy at Trudys Diner in Kraemer as well.

I have traveled to 76 countries and have been on a couple different Swamp Tours. I knew that the alligators would be in the mud this time of year, but there is more to a swamp than that. It was an awesome experience, the guide was not only very knowledgeable about the area, but he was a super nice guy as well. This is a fun day, we spent some time before the boat ride looking at things around the building. The boat ride itself was very enjoyable, we spotted a bald eagle soaring overhead, and some turtles. I give this guy and this tour 5 stars, it is refreshing to meet people who are genuinely nice and good people. Thank you!
