Got a day to spend? Well, then you have to take a swamp tour. Spending a day outside is relaxing, and now that the weather is getting warmer, it’s the perfect time to get outdoors! Swamp tours are such a staple of Louisiana, they’ll leave you with a new respect for how beautifully magical our waterways really are.

Airboat Adventures is located in Lafitte, just a 30-minute drive south of New Orleans.
