River of Swamps Boat Tours

"Ronnie Briscoe with River of Swamps is an excellent guide through the bayou and swamps of southwest Louisiana. His boat is quiet and in great condition. You will really get into the depth of the Atchafalaya River basin. His knowledge and love of the water are very special. Highly recommend his tour."

"GREAT tour. Best swamp tour ever. Ronnie went the extra mile to get us deep into the area eventhough the water level was low. Thanks for all the knowledge about the area and sharing your stories about hunting, fishing, food and so on."

"WOW, what an experience! We visited Louisiana and wanted an "authentic" swamp experience. On a previous trip we had taken a more commercial tour and enjoyed it but it was limited on schedule and location. Ronnie gave us a tour that exceeded our expectations. First, the overall travel distance was about 30 miles and we saw an incredible amount of wildlife including ibis, blue heron, spoon bills, an owl, many, many alligators. The asian carp were jumping all around the boat. Secondly, Ronnie is a local and really knows his facts on hunting, trapping, and fishing. He is a true Louisiana outdoorsman. If you go into the swamp, Ronnie is the guy to go with. He knows the names of the plants and animals. He explained the fishing techniques and showed examples crawfish traps and how they are used. For those who may be concerned about safety. He is a true professional with the appropriate safety gear onboard. We never felt unsafe or reckless. Very good tour. Thank you Ronnie!!"

"We had a great personal tour of the bayou and swamp. Ronnie is an excellent guide, allowing us to see as much as possible. He stopped for photos, explained birds and plants, and we saw jumping fish. Beautiful area. Would recommend to all, families and adults."

"River of Swamps Boat Tours was excellent! The arrangement to meet up and location of the meet up point was easy. It was great to be on a small and open boat. Ronnie is a wonderful local person who clearly respects and shares the beauty of the Atchafalaya Basin with those who join him. There was no disruption to the environment and the experience was personalized in his offer to ask us what we prefer and want to do. Overall, our time in this place was magical!"
