!! EXCELLENT !! Le guide, originaire de la région, a su rendre la visite passionnante grâce à ses explications claires, pertinentes et enrichissantes tout au long du trajet. Il a su transmettre ses connaissances aussi bien sur la faune, la flore que sur l’histoire du marais. Les quelques instants de pluie ont même ajouté une dimension immersive et fascinante à l’expérience. Nous avons eu la chance d’observer des crocodiles, des hiboux, de grandes araignées, quelques serpents dans l’eau, ainsi que de majestueux oiseaux. Nous recommandons totalement cette activité qui vous plongera au cœur des marais de la Louisiane, pour une expérience authentique et inoubliable.
Great activity Our guide Gerald was fantastic, with superb knowledge of the flora and fauna. We saw four alligators, birds, frogs, turtles... A wonderful activity to discover. Small group of six people.
Guide Gerald was outstanding. So good to have a local naturalist showing the way.
Très chouette activité, le guide était super.
Die Sümpfe mit der Natur zu erleben, war ein Ereignis. Der Guide hat alles gut erklärt. Trotz der Wildtiere alles ungefährlich. Nur zu empfehlen!
Al was a wonderful guide. We saw lots of wildlife and learned alot.
