Swamp Tours

Feed a treat to a hungry alligator under moss-draped cypress trees or visit the back marshes where pirates and Indians once journeyed. A swamp tour is a unique Louisiana treat! Swamp and marsh tour boats float along the bayous of Louisiana where you'll observe hawks, eagles, otters, beavers, nutria, and alligators. You'll visit 2000-year-old Indian mounds, Cajun fishing villages and cemeteries and enjoy the undisturbed environment of wildlife and ecology. Below is a list of great tours, just minutes from downtown New Orleans. Pick how you want to tour- by foot, airboat, canoe, or airplane, all with magnificent views of swampland.
