    The swamp tuna was a wonderful addition to our vacation. The hosts made this a wonderful experience for us and everything including what was provided for our stay shows that it was all thought out to ensure guests have the upmost best experience. 10/10 would recommend the swamp tuna and hope to come back again.

    We just came back from staying on the Swamp Tuna houseboat in Pierre Part. The houseboat was very clean, stocked with everything a person would need. The only thing we brought was our clothes. It had everything else. We had a great time and couldn’t ask for better host than Lyndsie. She answered all our questions and was there for us when we needed her. I have been telling everyone about them since we left this morning. This trip was so relaxing and beautiful with all the wild life. I would encourage Everyone to go and experience What Louisiana has to offer you won’t be sorry

    She didn’t have a Bluetooth speaker. That’s it. Everything else was provided for our needs!! The groceries are well stocked, unless you have a specific meal in mind,then bring your groceries, otherwise, you don’t hv to worry about it! For 3 glorious nights, me & the hubs had a getaway that’s unforgettable & we already want to get back there! It’s easy to feel like the only people on earth when you’re in the back of a swamp & there’s nothing around for a dozen miles but nature! One morning at 3:30 I was startled awake by gators growling at each other! Seriously, we can not wait to go back!

    I can’t recommend this enough!!! The houseboat was so much fun, and it’s stocked with everything you need. All the food and snacks in my pictures were provided. There is also a case of bottled waters, gallons of water for cooking, snacks, basic cooking ingredients and equipment for a boil! We drove the boat out to lake Verret, pulled into a canal and spent the night amongst the gators and nature. Full functioning bathroom, the bed was comfortable, and they even provide a box of nightcrawlers for bait. If you’re a fan of the TV show, Swamp People, you might even get to meet the Landry clan like we did!!! Great vacation!!!

    A unique stay with warm and responsive hosts. We came with freezing temperature in the bayou so we were not able to fully enjoy what the bayou and swamp tuna can offer. But despite this ,it's a lovely stay with my family of 4.

    Clark and Lyndsie as always do an excellent job. This was our second time on the boat and we will be back for a third as long as Clark keeps offering this special opportunity. The layout of the boat is incredibly wellthought out and essentially it is a well appointed mobile cabin that can submerge you deep in nature in total comfort. We are a family of 4 with an 8 and 10 year old and this is their favorite vacation. Easy fishing, abundant wildlife, the opportunity to explore miles of untouched swamp. Truly a unique experience.

    This is NOT a rental via VRBO…No not at all !!It is an Amazing Experience…! We will never forget the unique ability to both drive our campsite thru the rich and lush scenery while an array of every variety of birds fly to and from the trees tweeting! All this while dragons slowly glide by in the water beside the houseboat at a safe distance…! Occasionally seeing these magnificent creatures basking in the sun while nearby nutria scamper about… Mornings fill the top of the water with a mysterious amount of mist rolling around as the sun creeps up forming what looks to be flames coming out of the water itself while passing thru the moss covered trees.I surely cannot say enough good things about this trip including cooking breakfast and a dinner seafood boil right on the boathouse front porch with these amazing views…!In short… we will be back…!

    Perfect camp boat for 2 adults! Got to cruise all over the lake! It’s a must to get the dingy also to be able to explore into the cypress trees! Saw lots of wildlife. Loved seeing the bald eagles!

He was so shocked and surprised when we got to the dock! We experienced so much during our stay! From the wildlife to the scenery to even the weather, it was so beautiful and peaceful!! This will not be our only time on this adventure! We can’t wait to come back with our kiddos!!

    This was an awesome experience and adventure for our family! The swamp tuna has everything you need for a truly immersive experience in the Louisiana bayou. The host thought of everything and the boat was very well stocked with food and supplies. We are nature lovers and the swamp certainly delivered. In addition to the cypress trees and other unique wetland vegetation , we saw and heard tons of wildlife including alligators, limpkins, herons, egrets, eagles, barred owls, osprey, whistling ducks, prothonotary warblers, tree frogs, and much more! We also caught lots of fish, including some nice catfish which we fried up on the boat. Being able to watch the swamp wake up in the morning and go the sleep in the evening was amazing. This was truly a trip to remember and Clark and Lindsey were tremendous hosts!

    While traveling through in our RV, we wanted a way to really explore the bayous of Louisiana. We couldn’t have asked for a better way than staying on the Swamp Tuna! What an experience! Everything about it was so cool, from getting to drive the boat around to kayaking with the gators, we had the most relaxing 3 nights aboard the boat. To top it all off, this was the most well stocked place we have ever rented. What an awesome host and an awesome boat!

    What an amazing experience. The time we picked for our adventure was unusual from a weather standpoint, but we kept snug and warm in the houseboat and still saw many amazing sights. Clark was an amazing host and so easy to work with, and gave great instructions for operating the houseboat. We had such a great time.

    We came several years ago and vowed to return. It was another great 4-night trip that didn't disappoint. My teens love to fish and I enjoy sitting on the front porch, enjoying the amazing views. The boat is easy to operate and my teens were the captains. Last time we visited in April, and I wasn't sure how the weather would be in December. The weather was delightful, minus a big storm one evening. The fish were biting and the wildlife was spectacular, as usual. The daylight was shorter, of course, but we found some spots to park at night with decent cell signal for streaming. We ate pre-made cajun dinners from the local grocery store and they are delicious with zero effort on my part. We rented the dingy and the paddle kayak. They add a lot to the trip. There were lots of places we were able to explore with these extra toys. The hosts are always available and flexible. They even helped us get rides to/from the airport so we didn't have a rental car parked all week. You will not regret this great adventure!

    Our time on the swamp tuna far exceeded our expectations, which were pretty high already! It was an unbelievable way to see the swamps, and Clark’s explanations of the history of the swamp and the local area made it even more fascinating! We saw countless bald eagles and herons as well as many alligators, turtles and other wildlife. It was such a great way to leave behind the stress of the daily life behind and completely relax! We Highly recommend it!!

    Our host met us at the dock and made sure we had everything we needed before we set sail. He was incredible during our entire stay, very responsive and was able to help us with any issues or questions. The Swamp Tuna was so much fun and the most unique place we have ever stayed. Our host stocked us up with supplies and provided great tips for where to anchor at night. The swamp was gorgeous and scenic, lots of wildlife. Best hospitality we've had in a long time, and the best views! Overall, it was a charming and unplugged experience. Thank you for everything!!!
