Description

Take a New Orleans swamp tour and wetlands adventure! See the Cajuns of the Bayou living and surviving in harmony with the swamps. Here, the waterways are their highways. From the relaxed comfort of our covered New Orleans swamp tour boats, you will drift slowly past a 2,000 year old Indian burial mound, a Cajun cemetery and a fishing village! You may see the wildlife that made the Barataria Swamps the crown jewel of the Louisiana Purchase. Here, birds, snakes, turtles, fur animals, and gators are the kings of the swamp, and are easily spotted in spring, summer, and fall.

Bayou Boat Tour

The tour was awesome. We saw a lot of alligators. The tour guide even stopped the boat and fed one up close. It was a sight to behold. Also the tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour.
