New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure With Pickup

Overview

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 2000 year old Indian Burial Mound, a Cajun cemetery and a fishing village! You'll admire the wildlife that made the Barataria Swamps the Crown Jewel of the Louisiana Purchase. Here, birds, snakes, turtles, fur animals, and gators - the king of the swamp - are easily spotted in Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Tour guide was knowledgeable about the nature and animal life in the area. It was neat to see the alligators up close, didnt expect them to eat marshmallows. Baby alligator was cute touch on board but the scenery and stories the captain told made the trip worth wild. I like how clean they keep the area, you can tell the respect nature.
