This Nighttime Swamp Tour Will Show You A Whole New Side Of New Orleans

Most New Orleanians have taken a swamp tour in their life, but have you ever taken a nighttime swamp tour? It’ll show you a new side of the swamps you’ve never seen before.

Cajun Encounters Eco-Tours is a locally-owned and operated company founded by Jeff Rogers over 20 years ago.

Rogers grew up in the area, and his passion for the Louisiana countryside led him to establish one of the most successful tour companies in New Orleans.

While Cajun Encounters offers several different types of tours, their swamp tours are always a big hit.

You’ll take a tour of Honey Island Swamp and learn all about the history of the swamp and all the creatures that call the swamp home.

If you’re looking to experience the swamp in a whole new light (or lack thereof) then you need to take their night swamp tour.

You’ll take off on a 22-passenger boat and take in the sunset before heading out into the darkness of the swamps.

Your captain will lead you through the swamp with a spotlight, pointing out all the creatures lurking in the shadows.

You’ll have the opportunity to see gators, raccoons, turtles, wild boar, and more.

To experience the swamps under the moonlight is really a unique experience.

It’s like the swamps play their own music with an orchestra of crickets, frogs, and birds.
