Specialties
A small business, family owned and operated just several miles from the heart of New Orleans. Take a break for a few hours to come relax on the bayou, hear about local life and take in the beautiful scenery. If you won't be driving yourself to our tour, you can hire transportation for your arrival, and after the tour, we provide complimentary return transportation within 15 miles of our location - 6201 E. St. Bernard Hwy., Violet, LA 70092. Our authentic, intimate and fun tours take off from De Pope Tavern. Feel free to arrive early for drinks with the locals and/or to purchase drinks (at local prices, not increased touristy prices) to take on the tour; or stay after the tour for drinks and/or our tasty crab cakes, homemade with crabs caught by Captain George. So much more than a gator tour, Captain George will take you through the beautiful waterways of St. Bernard Parish, where you will see various wildlife that inhabit the area, camps on the bayou (including his own, which is a restroom stop during the tour), fishing boats, crab traps and more. A commercial crab fisherman and lifetime resident of The Parish, he will tell personal stories about work and play while growing up on these waters. Learn how these bayous and waterways are the heartbeat of this community. Happiness is the Way!
