Experience New Orleans Swamps and Bayous on this 5-Star Tour
Local guides will reveal the mysteries of the swamps and bayous and the Cajun “joie de vivre” in an active fishing village.
Travel the same labyrinth of land and water where privateer Jean Lafitte built a thriving and clandestine smuggling empire to bring luxury goods to the Louisiana elite.
Discover how the seafood from our bountiful waters provides a wide assortment of delectable local dishes!
Observe the nesting grounds of alligators, egrets, raccoons, nutria, and many species of snakes. Some wildlife are more numerous in the swamps during the warmer months of the year.
Learn why our wetlands and swamp lands are disappearing due to coastal erosion and what people have done to correct the damage and restore this vital habitat.
Bring your camera to capture the “bon temps” (good times) on the bayou!
