What To Expect

Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve

Travel by air-conditioned coach from central New Orleans to the nearby fishing village of Jean Lafitte, named after an 18th-century smuggler. Home to a variety of diverse cultures, this area surrounded by Lousiana bayous has been the site of extensive logging operations, sugar and rice plantations and animal trapping enterprises over the years. Today, the people's simple way of life is a marked contrast to the hustle-bustle of New Orleans.

• Admission Ticket Free

Barataria Preserve

You will travel through the Barataria Preserve, part of the Jean Lafitte National Park & Preserve system. The preserve offers a taste of Louisiana's wild wetlands, protecting 23,000 acres of bayous, swamps, marshes and forests.

• Admission Ticket Free

In Jean Lafitte, you can get some snacks (own expense) and check out an albino alligator exhibit before boarding your airboat, a vessel that relies on an aircraft-type propeller mounted on its back to move it forward. Feel the wind in your hair as your move swiftly over the wetlands.

Your native boat captain will talk about the history and culture of the area and point out wildlife as you travel. See lots of alligators lurking in the marshes, as well as local birds, raccoons and nutria -- giant river rodents that call the bayous home.

Conclude your family-friendly escape to the Louisiana wetlands with coach transport back to central New Orleans.

Swamp experience

Sharon_D, 13-12-2022

It was a great trip with very a very experienced guide. The only thing I would do different is do the small boat next time. But the large boat was still great.

Peaceful and beautiful

Casandra_M, 17-11-2022

It was pretty chilly so the alligators were not present. But the beauty of the swamp and exhilarating airboat ride made the excursion worthwhile. Look forward to doing this again someday!!!

Amazing experience - activity for leadership retreat

AllAbaordAmerica, 15-11-2022

We took the Swamp Tour Boat Ride trip on Saturday 11/12 as part of our leadership team retreat in New Orleans. It was amazing! The bus driver/guide (Kin) was a super safe driver and did a great job telling us all about New Orleans on the way to the boat ride and on the way back. The boat driver/guide was great too! The entire group had a great time. Would recommend the whole experience to any size group (we had 17!). Thanks Gray Line!

Fun time

We had a great time on this tour. Earl was the best. He knew so much and was hilarious! Would go again in the summer.

A fun time

The pickup place was easy to find and the bus ride with Alton was full of history. The airboat ride was fun and our guide (I wish I could remember his name) was great. We had a chance to view a few alligators and enjoy the beauty of the bayou. I wod definitely recommend.
