New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure

Overview

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.

Captain Ernie was great! We've done airboat rides before so we opted for something different & we were really glad we did. This ride was much more relaxed & quieter which is a great change of pace. The airboat rides are a blast but if you're looking for the better tour experience, this is the one to pick. Ernie gave lots of great stories that seemed from the heart & his experience. He brought us into a lot of the quieter corners where we got to spot a bunch of gators & even hold a baby. If you sit at the front, you may want to bring a thicker wind breaker as you will take the brunt of the wind when he opens it up in the channel. You'd be surprised how fast the big boat can go. It can take your breath away. It was a great time & we were sad when it ended.
