On this tour you will see the wildlife that made the Barataria Swamps the Crown Jewel of the Louisiana Purchase. Here, birds, snakes, turtles, fur animals, and gators are the kings of the swamp, and are and easily spotted in Spring, Summer, and Fall. Gators do hibernate during the cold winter months, but lay on the bayou banks on warmer days. So even in Winter, your native Captains can sometimes find a sunning gator on our tour.
The slow drift of the tour boats through moss draped trees and small waterways, will provide ample opportunity for viewing and photography. The New Orleans swamp tour boats are fully narrated and the captains are natives of the Barataria Swamps with a background of gator hunting, fishing and trapping. They will entertain you and amaze you with the ecology of the swampland. Boarding these swamp tour boats, you'll realize that they are specially designed for your comfort. Your vessel will have a roof, restroom, cushioned seats, and windows that can be raised or lowered during cold or rainy weather, along with plenty of standing and walking room.
These tours are entertaining, educational and exciting. Let this tour operator provide you with a relaxing ride and a great view of the local swamps.
