Description

Discover the marshes around New Orleans on an unforgettable boat tour!

After a 1-hour bus journey, you will embark on a mini-cruise that takes you into the heart of the swamps of Louisiana, known locally as the bayous. Discover the amazing landscape from your boat, which was specially designed to navigate through the swamp waters.

In the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park, your guide will reveal the mysteries of this natural site and point out the area's diverse "inhabitants". Keep your eyes peeled for alligators, egrets, raccoons, coypus and even snakes!

Your bus will bring you back to New Orleans after a nature-filled tour of the region.

Great activity with many alligators to see! It's definitely less adrenaline than the speedboat but being shaded by the roof is more than agreeable under the fierce sun. A must do in the area.
