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.
