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!"

Capt. Jamie was an entertaining guide - knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was a last minute decision and one of the highlights of my trip. Beautiful scenery and cool to see the animals in their natural habitat.

About a 30 minute car ride from New Orleans is one of the best tours and activity you can do while down in Louisiana. For almost 2 hours you get on an air boat and drive thru the swamps of Louisiana. The captain make pit stops in order to feed and show you the gators. They come right up to the boat and it is great for pics. If you are a nice group, you get to hold and feel a baby gator. One of the best things we ever did.

Our guide through the swamp was Jason. It was a beautiful 85 degrees. Jason shared local stories as he navigated us around on our adventure. Great tour guide. Great Mother’s Day gift. Truly enjoyed it. Highly recommend it.

It was a fantastic adventure, and certainly on our list of favorites! Informative and fun! We couldn’t believe how beautiful it was, and you just can’t see that scenery from the road! It also gave us a close view of the alligators from the safety of the pontoon boat. The guide was so knowledgeable, and also had a great sense of humor! Highly recommend this excursion! We may even do it again sometime!

We had the best time on our Swamp tour. Captain Brent was so knowledgeable. He knew exactly where the gators hang out and made sure everyone on the boat was able to see them. Saw lots of alligators.

The tour was nice and the operator was funny and friendly. It is beautiful country. We saw some alligators and a turtle. I was a little disappointed that there was hardly any other wildlife.

Very nice excursion within the bayou. The landscape is wonderful. We saw alligators of varying sizes 😉, different birds and even a snake in the water.
The guide was very friendly and full of humor.
The boat is fully accessible for people in wheelchairs.

Our tour guide, Captain Darrin, was really funny and shared some facts throughout the tour. And we saw some alligators pretty close to our boat. Recommend it!
