About this activity

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! You'll admire the wildlife that made the Barataria Swamps the Crown Jewel of the Louisiana Purchase. Here, birds, snakes, turtles, fur animals, and gators - the king of the swamp - are easily spotted in Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Lots of Fun

We had a great time! The pick-up was great, as was the trip out to bayous. The guide was so knowledgeable. He even explained that it’s hard to see alligators during winter but we still saw three. This was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it.

Bayou / Swamp Tour that will Deliver an Experience!

It's brilliant when you end a vacation on a high note! Booked a tour of the Louisiana bayou with Louisiana Tour Co. and went on an adventure through several swamp ecosystems, saw a bunch of wildlife (even in January!), educated on the perspectives on the effects of hurricanes, conservation and general conditions of the day from a local perspective. There really isn't anything like riding in a flat-bottom airboat, weaving through channels of swamp at a good click and coming upon an 8' alligator sunning themselves on a mudflat cypress grove! Our tour guide Jason was an excellent pilot, experienced and informative and good on pacing the ride experience with stopping and sighting wildlife. If you read my other posts, I write glowing posts, mainly because I want to cite tours/guides and/or places that merit it ! This tour/experience will take you a total of 4 /5 hours out of your day including the ride from New Orleans. I came away smiling, wondering why I don't do more of these type of guided experiences when I travel. If you visit New Orleans, even for a weekend, a swamp tour is a must; Louisiana Tour Group is a great company that believes in sharing the beauty, wonder and culture of this part of Mississippi Delta!

Dewey was a great tour leader.

The pontoon boat tour of the swamp was excellent. Dewey did a great job of educating us about the swamp in a very entertaining way. Dewey’s passion for this swampland (where he was raised) was obvious and made the tour enjoyable. The round trip transportation from our French Quarter hotel was perfect.

Very entertaining and informative

Our guide was awesome. We had terrible weather and he still brought his A+ game. I am terrible with names but thought one of his jokes said Hewie or Dewie from Donald Duck.
