Educational – There’s countless lessons to be learned and knowledge to gain by taking a swamp tour in New Orleans. With hundreds of species of plants, birds and many other swamp creatures, the swamp offers a rich and in-depth biological learning experience. Our professional captains can identify the many different types of wildlife that will be encountered and answer any questions.

Fun – Don’t be fooled by all the information there is to absorb – the swamp is as fun as it is educational! You’ll spot turtles, wild pigs, herons, plenty of fascinating alligators and more. You’ll be able to hold a real live baby alligator and take pictures with it. Plus, just being outdoors surrounded by so much natural beauty is an escape in itself.
