What you can expect

This more intimate 16 passenger boat. With a smaller tour group, you will have more time to ask questions about the animals and life in the swamp. This tour will give you the opportunity to connect on a more personal level with our Cajun captains. This “close encounter” swamp tour will be an event to remember.

Immerse yourself in the history and culture of Cajun people, while coming in contact with wildlife, on a Louisiana backcountry tour. Set off on a journey in the mystical Manchac Swamp, experiencing sights, sounds, and stories that can’t be seen or heard anywhere else in the world.

Begin your adventure in central New Orleans or one of its neighboring cities. Watch as urban life transitions into rural as you pass historic bridges, sugarcane fields, and overgrown cypress trees on your way to the swamp. When you reach your destination, hop aboard a boat manned by an expert guide. Drift down the otherworldly waterway as you learn more about the wetlands, the wildlife, and the bizarre history of a Cajun town called Frenier.

Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the real high point of the tour: swamp creatures in their native habitat. Look out for reptiles, raccoons, and snakes peeking out from the underbrush or behind moss-draped trees. If you’re lucky, you may get to see the true King of the Bayou, the American alligator. Thanks to the safety and security of your boat, you may even be able to come within feet of this deadly creature.
