What you can expect

Embark on an exciting and educational tour of the Barataria Swamp in the lush Mississippi River Delta region. This informative excursion is narrated by a knowledgeable guide and gets you up close and personal with birds, snakes, turtles, and even the fabled American alligator.

Climb aboard a swamp boat engineered with comfort in mind. With a roof, cushioned seats, and windows that can be raised or lowered according to weather conditions, this watercraft is the ideal spot from which to glimpse the bayou's endlessly fascinating flora and fauna.

Marvel at the way the motorboat navigates the swamp's murky shallows and enjoy captivating stories about the region's lineage of trappers and fishermen. Make stops at a Cajun cemetery, an Indian burial mound, and a fishing village, and learn about southern Louisiana's vivid and tumultuous history.

Before your tour is through, identify the wildlife you see—including reptiles like the Texas rat snake and birds such as the little blue heron. Allow your guide to teach you about the American alligator and—if you're lucky—observe it basking in malevolent silence from a safe distance.
