Turning Basin Riverboat Tours

"Great time on the riverboat tour. The captain was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. Definitely recommend it. You get a nice peaceful ride and see some wildlife. We will definitely be doing this again for sure"

"My husband and I took the riverboat cruise and we really enjoyed it. The operator was very nice and informative. We took our tour just before the alligators usually arrive, but, we did see a teeny, tiny, little guy that kept diving into the muddy waters. BTW -- the waters are murky right now after all the rain we just had. However, it is my understanding that the river will clear up in a few weeks time."

"I won’t badmouth John Nance because he’s a legend at what he does. He knows the bayou and everybody knows him. But this is no tour. This is a boring 30 minute boat ride up and back down the ugliest brown channel you’ve ever seen (my pix make it look good, but it’s not). And during the boat ride, you get an education from John about all the cool things you will never see on the tour, plus a good dose of his jokes and questionable views on many topics. No alligators, no nutria, no snakes, no amazing birds, nothing interesting. After the dull tour, we learned that you can rent a canoe and go up the bayou in a different direction. Maybe we’ll try that next time."

"The tour is interesting! The guide was very knowledgeable. It was easy to walk in and pay for the tickets to ride. Loading on the boat was easy. It may be a little difficult for those with mobility issues. I’d definitely recommend taking the tour at least once."

"Great boat ride! Very relaxing and serene! We went with the group of 10 - kids and adults. Had the boat to ourselves. Everyone loved it! Highly recommend!"
