Additional Information

Experience the harmonious Bayou lifestyle of the Cajuns amid the swamps. These waterways serve as their main transportation routes. Whilst enjoying the easy-going atmosphere of our sheltered New Orleans Swamp Tour Boats, you’ll glide by a 2000-year-old Indian Burial Mound, a Cajun graveyard, and a fishing village! Witness the natural inhabitants that make the Barataria Swamps the stand-out feature of the Louisiana Purchase. Within these marshes, you can easily spot birds, snakes, turtles, fur-bearing animals, and alligators - the swamp’s reigning monarch - during Spring, Summer, and Fall.

  • Folding wheelchairs are allowed, but the driver is not allowed to pick up a person to help them gain entrance. The customer must get into the minibus by themselves or with assistance from family or friends.
  • Please note you are not guaranteed to see a gator. They hibernate in winter months but are easily spotted in spring, summer, and fall.

Super fun. - We enjoyed ourselves. The tour was amazing. The tour guide Ken was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We were able to see a few alligators, raccoons and birds. He gave us a history lesson on why they’re swamps in New Orleans. I love Ryder , he was sweet baby alligator. Also the transportation company was nice as well. The bus driver gave a lot of recommendations and of course a history lesson.

Must experience this tour! - Pick up was easy and we had a wonderful bus driver. The boat tour was excellent. I much preferred it to the fan boat tour as the guide was engaging and the sound of the boat didn’t scare the wildlife away. The boat had a bathroom and a roof to protect us from the sun. 10/10 would recommend!
