Hello folks. This is Michael Landrum, your Caddo Lake guide and owner of Big Cypress Tours. Welcome to one of most beautiful bodies of water in the world. Caddo Lake and surrounding wetlands comprise unique environs where magnificent flora and fauna thrive.

Let me take you on a tour of Caddo Lake, home of the world’s largest Bald Cypress forest, a watery wonderland unlike any other in the world. According to a study done in 2003, Caddo Lake flora and fauna includes 189 species of trees and shrubs, 75 grasses, 42 woody vines, 216 kinds of birds, 90 fish and reptiles, and 47 mammals, plus hundreds of alleged Bigfoot sightings.

Call me at 903-570-3319, to book a family or private adventure. I offer sunrise and mid-day tours. The experience can influence a young child’s life and become a memory they will never forget.

This is an experience you cannot find elsewhere in the world. Comparable environs simply do not exist. Don’t limit your view of Caddo by sticking to the shore.

Be the participant, not the audience.

Swamp and River Tour Gets You to Gators

Man pointing outside a boat

Captain Eli Tate’s boat attracts both tourists and gators on an action-packed Swamp and River Tours ride from Orange, Texas into Louisiana waters. Port Arthur News writer Cassandra Jenkins shared her experience in this story:

If you’ve lived in Southeast Texas at any moment in time, whether it was for a couple days, several years or a lifetime, chances are you have an opinion on a local staple — alligators.

Our swampy friends have been seen in bayous and rivers, along trails, parks and highways. But coming across the big, scaly, long tailed, beady-eyed, modern-day dinosaurs always solicits one feeling or another — love or fear.

Love them or hate them, there is no better thrill than getting up close and personal with more than a dozen gators in their natural habitat along with eagles, egrets, wild bulls, fields of fauna and more. Swamp and River Tours, based in Orange, provides that thrill in their custom-made speedboat in an unforgettable 90-minute trip down the Sabine River.

“We started doing these swamp tours in March 2000,” Capt. Eli Tate, owner of Swamp and River Tours, said. “We really started it because of my love for nature.”

Since 2000, Tate said the tours have changed and adapted as the diverse wildlife became more and more familiar with the little white boat.

“After 20 years, the wildlife get used to the boat,” he said. “During thousands of trips we see more gators, bigger gators and more eagles all because of the repetition. That’s the key. Anyone can do the same thing if they’re willing to commit to thousands of trips right here.”

The tour travels along a section of the Sabine River that flows from Texas into Louisiana, allowing viewing of a vastly distinctive area.

“Here, you have some of all of the different type of swamps because the area is unique,” he said. “You have many fields of beautiful flowers which you don’t see in most swamps. Things that are here exist all along the river, there is just more of it in this spot. The scenery is better and there is more wildlife. There are no houses. No one lives in this area and there’s nothing to scare the wildlife away.”

Boat Beckons

Aside from the scenery, what makes Swamp and River Tours stand out from others is the vehicle it employs for tours. Tate, who used to work for an airboat company, said he saw the drawbacks of the airboat and wanted to develop a boat that was fast, quiet and shaded for comfort in the summer.

“The shade, and keeping the boat moving are what makes the ride comfortable,” he said. “The key is to be fast to cover a lot of area but quiet to not scare the wildlife away. The airboat is slower and loud to where you have to wear ear buds. It just scares everything away.”

Another defining difference of the boat is that it is white.

“The gators’ favorite snack is a Great Egret,” Tate said. “It’s a white bird, so the white attracts the gators to the boat. Airboats often camouflage their boats. Some laughed at me for wanting to paint mine white, but wildlife aren’t fooled if they can hear the boat 10 miles away, so then the camouflage doesn’t help anyway.”

Tate said along with the color, subtle vibrations the boat gives off attract more alligators to come within closer distances.

“The vibrations attract the attention, or the killing instinct at night,” he said. “Gators are killers but not during the daytime. Daytime trips we are visiting with them while they’re resting. They like the vibrations and the warm water that trails the engine.”

Summer Thrills

Although the popularity in trips varies with the season, Tate said in in summertime it is common to go out on at least five trips a day, weather permitting.

“People who come out often like the gators, eagles and the fast-moving boat ride,” he said. “This boat is real quick with the pickup and everyone, even from the oldest age, love that motion. That’s why people go to attraction parks. They don’t usually go on a boat to do that but this one can do it. So, our tours are different and people of all ages are welcome to come and see that for themselves.”

So, whether seeing an alligator up close gives you chills of excitement or a dreaded pit in the middle of your stomach, Swamp and River Tours is an exciting activity for anyone who loves wildlife and beautiful scenery, and just a little bit of thrill.

Swamp and River Tours are available Tuesday through Sunday and closed on non-holiday Mondays. Tours are open to all ages and operate out of the Sabine River. Each tour lasts about 90 minutes and cost $29 with tax for adults, $19 plus tax for children under 12.

  • To schedule an individual or group tour call Capt. Eli Tate at 409-988-9342 or visit their website .
  • Tours are also available in Spanish with Maria Tate. The office is located at 813 Lutcher Drive, Orange.

“There is something about flying down narrow alleys of mangrove trees that is just a rush. I could never get tired of it. The guides always give more than just a ride. You learn so much about the Everglades and the total ecosystem that it is. We most certainly will be back!

—C. from Florida

“The mangrove tour was so much fun! We saw a family of dolphins swimming along the boat, several alligators, and a few fish jumping out of the water. Riding through the mangroves was beautiful and a fun way to see the Everglades. I would recommend to anyone.”

—J. from Massachusetts

“We really enjoyed seeing the alligators. The captain of the airboat gave a lot of information about the Everglades and habitat. The addition of the two-way headsets let us all communicate during the tour. This was really a highlight of having friends down visiting us new Florida residents. Plan to bring other guests."

—K. from Florida

“We did the combo package and it was amazing! Great way to experience all 3 ways to 'see' the Everglades! Would highly recommend. All the captains for each segment were fantastic! Had a great time!"
