The Day Trip Of A Lifetime You Can Only Take In Louisiana

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.

Experience Louisiana in its natural state as you glide over water and land in 20,000 acres of tidewater cypress swamp.

On your two hour excursion you’ll see snakes, turtles, nutria, and of course, alligators. You’ll also see egrets, herons, and the occasional hawk, owl, and bald eagles.

The guides feed the gators marshmallows. This gator decided to wear his marshmallow as a hat.

Airboat Adventures is all about offering exciting, informative swamp tours.

And there’s no better way to learn about a place than to immerse yourself in it.

Your experienced guide will teach you about the dynamic ecosystem and diverse wildlife population of the area.

All of the guides are locals who grew up in the area.

These local boys are expert fishers and boaters and they love sharing their knowledge of the flora and fauna you’ll see on the swamp tour.

Cruise through moss-draped cypress canopies while you keep an eye out for gators, birds, turtles, and maybe even a bald eagle!

Don't forget your camera!

Sunset tours offer amazing views.
