Take a New Orleans swamp tour and wetlands adventure! 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 2,000 year old Indian burial mound, a Cajun cemetery and a fishing village! You may see the wildlife that made the Barataria Swamps the crown jewel of the Louisiana Purchase. Here, birds, snakes, turtles, fur animals, and gators are the kings of the swamp, and are easily spotted in spring, summer, and fall.

Q&A

Q: What should I wear on the swamp tour? Is it muddy?

A: Definitely wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Sneakers or waterproof shoes are great since you might encounter some mud. And don’t forget to bring a light jacket or sunscreen depending on the season. It's usually warm, but mornings can get chilly!

Q: Is there an age limit for the swamp tour? Can kids join?

A: Kids are totally welcome on the swamp tour! It’s a fun educational experience, and they’ll love seeing the wildlife. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a bit of supervision when spotting the alligators or while moving around the boat.

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel the tour?

A: Rain doesn't necessarily mean cancellation! Tours typically proceed unless there’s severe weather. They have covered boats, but it's always a good idea to check the forecast and call ahead to ensure they won’t cancel your tour. If they do cancel, you can usually reschedule without issue.

Considering the New Orleans swamp tour as a gift! Anyone done it?

I’m thinking of getting my boyfriend a swamp tour for his birthday since he loves nature and adventure. I read that you can see alligators and that the guides are really knowledgeable. Has anyone tried this? What was your favorite part? I want to make sure it’s worth the hype!

Swamp tour experience: What to expect?

I’m planning a trip to New Orleans and thinking about booking the swamp tour. I've heard it can be a little bumpy. Can anyone share their experience? Is it suitable for someone who gets motion sickness easily? What’s the boat like?
