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.

Great knowledgeable guide fabulous experience. We even got to hold a baby alligator. Never knew alligators ate marshmallows. We were very grateful that our vessel was quiet and we could hear the guide as the fan boats were so noisy

I booked this tour for a friend of mine while we vacationers in New Orleans. The tour exceeded me expectations completely! Our guide Dewey was super knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and the alligators found within it. If you are looking for an adventure ide definitely recommend booking a tour!

You won't see gators if it is cold out. Earnie was very informative with a great personality. Highly recommended
