About this experience

Included in the tour are the wildlife of the area. Learn about the seafood industry, and marine life ecosystem. See live oysters, crabs, birds, perhaps an alligator in the habitat, and more.

Journey down the winding fisherman bayou, following the waterways to destinations of the unknown. Let Captain Jenny map it out as she weaves together the rich history and local legends of the Mississippi Sound.

Before or after your hour-long ride, you can witness a special live marine life and oyster demonstration, revealing the "oyster magic" of the region. It's a rare, up-close look at the Gulf's delicate ecosystem and conservation efforts.

Please note that we do not feed the wildlife and there are alligators and birds to be seen, however, it is up to the wildlife to be there while we are touring.
