It was very cold. Website did not prepare us for colder temperatures in the swamp or that swamp and bayou are essentially dormant in December so very little to see. Boat driver offered little information about environment or cajun culture.

It was really cool. Seeing the birds, alligators, turtles and learning it’s the place of the movie “ The Princess and the Frog”.

Interesting, fun nature trip on the bayou swamp tour. We saw several gators & many egrets, herons, cormorants & other birds. Nice tour of the Native American cemetery Ny boat. Great to have nature & history together.
