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 2000 year old Indian Burial Mound, a Cajun cemetery and a fishing village!

We were all disappointed with the experience and wished we spent the time and money on much more informative and ecologically responsible activities. The guide shared a few facts about alligators but really didn't know much of anything else about swamp ecology, flora, or fauna. This boat is quite large so it can't really get "into" the swamp - rather we rode next to swampy land at the edge of a large lake. This "swamp" has wide, straight channels cut through it. It's not immersive or intimate at all - no tree canopy overhead or sections where the boat cut through narrow passages. The guide fed 3/4 of a bag of marshmallows to an alligator smaller than me and it's obvious this gator was a regular. It felt so irresponsible. Toward the end of the trip we spent fully a half hour just sitting still while everyone handed around a tiny gator the guide brought along and the. We expected a trip dense with information while viewing a variety of swamp life settings. We got a pretty boring boat ride that felt exploitive more than respectful and responsible about the nature in which it operated. Any zoo reptile house would have provided more of what we hoped to get from this trip.

Our tour guide Ian was amazing you can see he truly has a passion for this. He took his time explaining everything and helped out when it was time to meet Fluffy the baby gator. He was so funny he has us laughing the entire cruise, we got to throw the marshmallows in the water he made sure we got ample pictures with the gators . Did the booking with the transportation our driver was running a few minutes behind but we still made it on time to our tour. Our hotel was on the opposite side for us just to cross to go in he made sure we crossed the street safely before driving away.

This was a great tour! The bus driver and boat captain were both amazing and gave lots of info. The boat ride itself was really nice and we saw a lot of alligators. Would highly recommend.

Excellent tour. Captain Ernie is an excellent guide. His knowledge of the swamp and alligator behavior added value to the experience. I would tour with him again.

Fantastic alligator whisperer as a boat captain - local native of this area. Fascinating talk.

The tour was fantastic and Captain Ernie was so knowledgeable and funny. He reminded us that it was a swamp tour, not a gator tour, but we were lucky to see a number of gators and tons of the beautiful swamp. Highly recommend but manage your expectations on seeing wildlife depending upon the time of year.

a very enjoyable journey. the only thing that was a little rude was the air boats coming by. they were so loud everyone on their boat had head phones on. The Captain was very nice and educational. saw lots of alligators

The captain was very engaging and made the trip highly entertaining. At the same time it was also an educational experience and we learned a lot of things about swamps.
