Tour Information ________________________

We have three basic types of tours: a 1 hour day trip, a 1/2 hour day trip, and a 1/2 hour night trip.

 

1 Hour Day Trip

The 1 hour day trip is called the "Eco Tour". We will go 8- 12 miles North into the Delta. We will show you floral and fauna, birds, alligators, and other wildlife native to the Delta. There are so many wonderful places and things to see in the Delta. We recommend the 1 hour tour.

 

Summer Trips

During the summer heat, we recommend taking your trip between the hours of 7 am to 10 am. Or, 6 pm until sunset. Due to extreme heat, we DO NOT recommend 1 hour trips from the hours of 11 am to 6 pm.

 

Spring/Fall Trips

During the spring/fall, we suggest the 1 hour day trip in the middle of the day. The best one hour trips are between the hours of 10 am to 3 pm.

 

1/2 Hour Fun Run

The 1/2 hour fun run is a fun, exciting boat ride. On the fun run, we will provide fun to the whole family with a fast boat ride with lots of whips and turns. This is recommended for those who want to have a faster, exciting boat ride with a small eco-tour.

1/2 Hour Night Trip

 

The 1/2 hour night trip is called the "Alligator Adventures". This is the only tour that we 100% guarantee alligators. Our guarantee is if you do not see an alligator, your trip is free. This trip is great for those who want to see alligators. This trip is dedicated to only see alligators. We will spotlight gators of all sizes; babies to 11 footers and the occasional 12 & 13 foot monsters. This is our most exhilerating tour. Our Alligator Adventures begin after the sunset in the summer.

Our Alligator Adventures/night trips are recommended to those who want to see only alligators.

Please note that we are closed November 15 through February 1.

Located just east of Mobile, Alabama, the Mobile-Tensaw Delta is the second largest river delta in the US. It is a prime location to see an abundance of wildlife. Designated routes wind through the Delta along a series of interconnected waterways. The Delta is secondary only to the Mississippi River Delta in size and is an environmental tour site that is 30 miles long and 12 miles wide just north of Mobile Bay. It overlays more than 200,000 acres of swamps, river bottomlands and marshes. In 1974, the Tensaw Delta was honored as a National Landmark.

 

 

The Mobile Bay National Estuary Program notes that the Tensaw Delta is considered the best remaining delta ecosystem of its kind in the United States. It is so ecologically broad that it houses: 

• Over 120 species of fish
• 40 species of mammals, including wild pigs, deer, raccoons, and otters
• 69 species of reptiles such as alligators and red-bellied turtles
• 30 different species of amphibians
• 500 species of plants
• More than 300 species of birds, including eagles, ospreys, pelicans, herons, kites, owls, warblers, vireos, wrens, egrets and a variety of woodpeckers

 

The tour begins from behind the Original Oyster House. The one hour tour is a trek of 8-10 miles out into the Delta.We will take you out to see the wildlife. On the tour, you will see plants, trees, flowers, birds, and usually alligators. All species are wild, therefore we can never guarantee sightings. We suggest that you bring a pair of binoculars and sunglasses. We provide sunscreen and hearing protection. Our boat is equipped with PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices). Use cameras and video equipment at your own risk.

No alcoholic beverages permitted on boat.
