Traveler Reviews
Chaz was our tour guide for our group of 9 and let me just say, we ALL had a great time!
Knowledgeable with some good laughs, we couldn't stop talking about this afterwards. We all agreed, this was the most fun and that we'd all love to come back and do it again.
Thank you Louisiana Swamp Tours for a great time with my family. We had an amazing time.

Our guide, Dewie was absolutely excellent and really fun. We got to see about 6 alligators despite the cold weather. Dewie was informative and able to show us so many different areas of the swamps.
We would recommend that everyone does this on their trip to New Orleans as it’s totally different but really good.

We had an amazing experience on our fan-boat tour of the swamps. I had no idea how beautiful the estuaries were until we were cruising along the water. If you have a choice, Captain Ernie is phenomenal. If you want to learn a thing or two about 'gaters, swamp lands, local history, reptiles in general, and science. Despite it being early season, we saw lots of 'gaters, turtles, cranes, and other beautiful wildlife. It was simply amazing. The bus portion from NOLA out to the boats was perfect - fun knowledgeable driver and a comfortable ride.
Thanks guys!
