Embark on an intimate wildlife adventure through the Louisiana bayous. Discover hidden waterways, learn about the local culture, and encounter fascinating wildlife, including alligators. Don’t miss the chance to visit a unique bayou camp and mingle with the locals at the bayou bar.
- Happiness Bayou Tours - Enjoy two - two and a half hours of our diverse, fun and educational tour. The scenery throughout this tour is nothing like most have ever seen. A lifetime resident, Captain George will talk about personal experiences and knowledge related to much of what you see. He is a commercial blue crab fisherman and stops at one of his crab traps and describes the process. You’ll see the “Great Wall of Louisiana,” a flood wall constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers after Hurricane Katrina. Midway through the tour, you’ll stop at our camp on the bayou for a peek inside of bayou living, and a restroom stop. You are sure to see various wildlife, although nothing is guaranteed, as this nature and not a controlled environment.

As one of the most petite boat trips around, passengers feel a personal touch even on a packed cruise. It’s not just an amusing excursion for individuals of all ages, it’s an unparalleled encounter.
Visitors have a unique opportunity to get a glimpse of life on these marshlands that only the inhabitants know of. Guided through multiple channels, visitors acquire knowledge about everything they observe, the environment, local custom, endemic wildlife (particularly alligators), and might bump into hobby or professional anglers in activity. It is the only Parish that was completely affected by Hurricane Katrina, visitors will witness and familiarize themselves with the details of the deluge and the barrier built post-Katrina to isolate and protect our settlement from the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, which led to area flooding.
A halt at our bayou refuge (which is only reachable via water) serves as a restroom break. Adult visitors can choose to come early for their adventure or linger afterwards, to step into the local bar located on the site and maybe socialize with the locals.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
