Overview

Experience the full magic of Louisiana's bayous on the closest swamp tour to downtown New Orleans. Journey down the bayou on a 90-minute Cajun adventure through the heart of Southern Louisiana on a relaxing and shaded pontoon boat ride in the protected Jean Lafitte National Park and Preserve. As you and your family glide along swamp waters, observe native plant and exotic life in a delicate yet powerful landscape that has both changed and defined Louisiana culture. View moss-covered cypress trees, evading yet beautiful water hyacinths, gators, egrets, and many more interesting creatures that call the swamp their home. Tour guides born and raised in the bayou will reveal the mysteries of the bayou as well as exclusive facts about its ecosystem. Join us and "laissez les bons temps rouler!"

Entertaining

Published on Jan, 2025

Love the humor and got to see some alligators along the way! The boat was comfortable. Captain had a lot of knowledge about the gators in that area

Great Gators!

Published on Dec, 2024

Great experience. Entertaining tour guide. Lots of gator sightings. Beautiful scenery. Staff was very nice. We arrived late, so we missed the boat. They quickly accommodated us on the next boat. I would definitely recommend & do this tour again.

Loved this!

Published on Dec, 2024

I enjoyed my time doing this tour option. I was able to book the day of with no problems! Getting there was easy & a bus was able to take us back near where we were staying. We had Jason as our guide and he gave us lots of information. There were many gators out, big ones! It was about a 2 hour tour on the river in a patoon. Highly recommend for the price and activity.

Great family adventure

Bring a camera and be ready to be shocked. Great value for your what you pay. Well worth the time. Our guide really knew his stuff.
