Bayou swamp tour was very interactive and great for kids and adults. We saw tons of alligators 🐊 and we even saw cattle 🐄 along the river basin of the bayou. The the history of the bayou was so magical and you could truly see the inspiration behind Princess and the Frog 🐸
Nowhere is Louisiana’s wildlife more abundant than in the swamps and bayous of New Orleans. Take a boat ride through these swamps and bayous and be on the lookout for alligators, raccoons, snakes, turtles and native birds.

A very interesting tour and experience. Our guide who also drove the boat was very knowledgeable and entertaining and many alligators were seen along the swamp banks.
The bus driver, Alton, who drove us to the departure point for the swamp tour gave us a running commentary describing the area we were passing through en route.

This tour was fun, relaxing and very informative. We saw several gators and birds, turtles. Our guide was kind and funny.

The bus and boat were both very clean, and both drivers gave us great information about the history of the Cajun people, New Orleans, and suggestions on where to eat.
The wait at the river was mininal, and Captain AJ knew where to bring us so we could see the wildlife.
