What our customers say about us!

Bring Binoculars if you have them! This place was AWESOME! Our guide Jonathan did a very good job guiding us through the swamp. He was a good blend of funny and informative. The boats were comfortable and the tour was a good length of time. Not too long and not too short. We saw alligators, turtles, and lots of birds! And now I can say I know the difference between a swamp and a bayou!

We did our tour yesterday and really enjoyed it. Martin lake is so magical, full of life like alligators, turtles and birds. The community is taking good care about it. Our tour guide Jonathan was amazing and very knowledgeable. He told us so much about the local environment. Very recommendedWe did our tour yesterday and really enjoyed it.

Stopped here as part of Harvest Hosts with our RV overnight. Took a tour when we arrived. One of the most informative and interesting swamp tours we have ever taken. Many alligators and beautiful varieties of birds to see. Wildlife everywhere. Our tour guide John was knowledgeable and entertaining. Would highly recommend a tour here!

The 9 Best Louisiana Swamp Tours of 2024

Explore Louisiana's famous swamps and bayous on one of these tours.

Swamp tours are a popular activity for any visit to Louisiana. In addition to alligators, Louisiana's swamps and bayous offer a chance to see bears, beavers, foxes, nutrias and racoons, as well as dozens of amphibian and reptile species.

We've determined the following Louisiana swamp tours to be the best based on traveler reviews and expert opinion. What's more, several of the recommended tour companies are located close to New Orleans and offer transportation.

Airboat Adventures – Small Boat Tours: Lafitte

Price: From $89 Duration: 1 hour and 45 minutes

One of the best swamp tours near New Orleans , this small-group excursion accommodates up to 10 passengers and features a multitude of reptiles, birds and other swamp residents. Riders frequently report enjoying the high-speed trips as well as the experienced guides and, of course, the plentiful wildlife on display.

Shuttle service between New Orleans hotels and Airboat Adventures' Lafitte location is available for an additional fee of $30 per person. Note: Airboat passengers must be at least 5 years old. The company also offers tours in its larger airboats and pontoon boats.

Check prices and availability on:

Cajun Encounters – VIP Swamp Tour: Slidell

Price: From $94.99 Duration: Two hours

This small-group excursion traverses the Honey Island Swamp via a flat-bottomed boat, which has the ability to maneuver narrow waterways. The excursion puts travelers within close proximity of alligators, bears, river otters and numerous types of birds, including great horned owls and bald eagles. Tour-takers consistently find the boat guides informative and entertaining, and enjoy the array of observable plant and animal life.

Tours are available several times daily. Cajun Encounters, located on the West Pearl River in Slidell, also offers pickup service from several French Quarter hotels as well as its New Orleans tour office ( 941 Decatur Street ) for an additional fee. Note that children under age 13 are not permitted on this tour; however, they are allowed on the company's larger swamp tours.

New Orleans Kayak Tours – Manchac Swamp Kayak Tour: Ponchatoula

Price: From $59 Duration: 2.5 hours

Many swamp tours rely on motorized boats to navigate Louisiana's waterways, but this tour uses kayaks to explore the peaceful Manchac Swamp. Thanks to the swamp's calm waters, this outing is suitable for paddlers of all experience levels. Trip-takers tend to appreciate the guides' educational commentary, as well as the frequent animal sightings. If you're interested in the paranormal, ask your tour guide about the haunted history of Manchac Swamp — it is believed to be haunted by a voodoo priestess.

Departure times may vary by season, but start times of 9 and 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. are typical. From March through September, there's an additional 4:30 p.m. departure time. Transportation from New Orleans (the Rampart Treehouse/10 pizza ) is available for an additional $25 per person.

Jean Lafitte Swamp Tours operates multiple airboats, with tours departing at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. daily. Winter hours vary. Transportation between select New Orleans locations and the company's Marrero base is available for an additional fee. Hotel pickup starts up to 90 minutes before tour departure times. Note: Children younger than 5 are not permitted on this tour.

Louisiana Tour Company – New Orleans Swamp Tour by Tour Boat: Marrero

Price: From $35 for adults; $15 for kids Duration: 2 hours

Glide through the wetlands within the Barataria Preserve aboard a covered boat built for comfort. Along with restrooms and cushioned seats, boats are equipped with guides who will regale you with amusing and informative commentary as you keep your eyes peeled for wildlife and sights like an ancient Native American burial mound and a Cajun fishing village.

Hotel pickup in New Orleans is available for an additional fee. Boat rides start at 9:40 a.m., 12:10 p.m. and 2:10 p.m. daily with a seasonal 4:15 departure time, and hotel pickups start about 90 minutes prior to start time. In addition to swamp tours, the company also offers plantation and airboat tours, among other options.

Ultimate Swamp Adventures – Covered Pontoon Swamp Boat Tour: Westwego

Price: Adults from $32; kids from $15 Duration: 2 hours

Cruise Bayou Segnette on this excursion, which features captains versed in the local culture and habitat.

They depart at 9:45 a.m., noon and 2 p.m., with an additional 4 p.m. start time in months with sufficient evening sunlight.

Transportation from New Orleans hotels is available for an additional fee, and shuttle service begins about an hour prior to designated departure times.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Atchafalaya Basin is largely considered the most famous swamp in Louisiana. It is the largest river swamp in the U.S.

Dress comfortably (think: loose layers) and bring a light jacket in the event it rains or you get chilly while you're out on the water.

Spring and summer are prime time for alligator sightings, though you'll likely see them no matter when you visit.

You'll increase your chances of spotting alligators by booking a morning tour, as wildlife is typically most active during this time (as well as late evening).

Great tour with Jimmy today! He knows history on the birds, the trees, and is following many alligators.

Worst tour the owner is rude and nasty

Went on the sunset tour, and though there was a bank of clouds and we didn't really see a sunset, we had a delightful tour! Our guide Jimmy was very knowledgeable about the different types of wildlife and vegetation. Would definitely go again if I'm ever in the area again!

We had a fantastic time with Jimmy! He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and was so easy to talk to. Our family was the only one on the tour and it was the perfect day! What a beautiful lake/bayou/swamp. Highly recommend this tour, you won't be disappointed!

Rude. Just straight up rude. Patience is a virtue and that's what this guy needs to learn. Called to inquire about kayak rentals during our road trip and the man who answered the phone felt so bothered by our questions regarding rentals. We just needed a minute to figure out costs and time since we were on a road trip and told him we'd call him back, but he replied "Don't call me back". Rude. Details below if you care to read: We were traveling from MS to TX and wanted to kayak in some LA bayous. We saw the ratings for champagne and figured this would be a great spot! The man who answered the phone said he didn't have a tandem kayak that we were looking for and wouldn't rent for anything less than 2 hours. He told us it's not worth it for him to unlock the area for only 1 hour rental. He asked us what time we planned on renting and for how long. We told him we'd call him back so we could figure out the times, money, pit stops, etc and his response was "don't call me back". I guess he thought we were jerking him around. Moral of the story: Patience is a virtue and I guess he missed out on business. So much for being the "happiest city in America".

We had a great time on this tour. Bring a hat, maybe a cool drink, and a camera. We saw so many gators and birds. The guide was very knowledgeable about the plants, wildlife and area. He even explained about the natural insect repellant that was keeping mosquitoes away from the water!

Great tour for the family.

We saw an adolescent gator before the boat even left the dock!

Great tour!! Jonathan was a wonderful guide! Super knowledgeable! We saw owls and a gator! Large nest belonging to "sea hawk" Lots of cypress trees with Spanish moss! Great time! Stop reading and go to this tour!

My husband and I own a business, so we hardly if ever leave negative reviews, because we understand people have bad days sometimes but this establishment should know that the customer service needs to improve. We spent $220 dollars, rented 2 canoes, and spent 2 hours and 5 minutes on the water. And were treated so poorly. When we came to the establishment some of the employees seemed to under the influence, the personnel responsible for setting up our canoe was falling asleep as he tried to set us up. They threatened my 63 year old father-in-law (who's birthday we were celebrating) as he tried to apologize for being 5 minutes late, and as we tried to leave one of the employees followed us in a big black lifted truck and was using police sirens to antagonize us. I have never been so concerned for my family's wellbeing. I'd recommend you going to the local Walmart and purchasing kayaks before renting from here. It just may save your life. Lake Martin is beautiful however and the wildlife plentiful. I'd highly recommend you visiting the lake but find other means of touring it.

We came for the tour not knowing what to expect. But we were pleasantly surprised. It was an hour long tour around the swamp with multiple alligator sighting. Our tour guide was able to hold attention of 5 and 12 year old for the entire hour and that's quite something. We would highly recommend the Champagne's swamp tour. Ps : they have the friendliest and cutest bell-girl. A 11 year old black lab.

Loves it!! Jimmy was sooo informative!! If you are close book this!!! Saw alligators ...birds ...and Jimmy was quick on pointing them out!

About Cajun Country Swamp Tours

  Owner, Walter “Butch” Guchereau, grew up on a small Cajun farm located on the banks of the Bayou Teche in Breaux Bridge, La. From early on his father introduced him to the swamps of Cajun Country. By hunting, sport and commercial fishing and just plain exploring he came to know the swamps like his own backyard. Butch put himself through college by working summers on dredge boats located in Louisiana on the Mississippi and Atchafalaya River systems where he experienced the dynamic forces that have built the land of Acadiana over the last 25,000 years. He learned how the rivers, bayous, wetland areas, man’s interventions and coastal erosion are all intertwined and constantly changing. The time he has spent in the swamplands of Cajun Country coupled with college degrees in Zoology and Botany has given Butch a rich insight into the ecology of Louisiana swamps.

This knowledge has been taught to Cajun Country Swamp Tour boat captains to make your tour educational, entertaining, and enjoyable ( More than just a boat ride ). Your swamp tour is taken personally by us because we know that for many of you this maybe your only trip to Cajun Country and it is important to us that everyone’s swamp tour in Cajun Country is both pleasurable and memorable. 

Our tour boats are open Cajun crawfish skiffs powered by an extremely quiet, environmentally friendly, 4-stroke outboard motor with the water intake fixed so that shallow water muck and thick vegetation are not a problem. This very quiet motor, and the relatively small size of the swamp tour boat allows for some great wildlife viewing.

My swamp tour guides and I have spent most of our lives either learning about or earning an income from the swamps of Cajun Co untry - this is where we want to be. The swamps are our passion and Joie de Vivre (Joy of Life), and sharing a few hours with people who love and enjoy nature and the great outdoors is an enjoyable experience for us. Our personal experiences and observations along with my educational background enables us to give you an insightful eco-journey into the swamplands of the Atchafalaya Basin that is educational, enjoyable and entertaining; and just maybe with a serving of Cajun Hospitality this will not be your only trip to Cajun Country.

Located only minutes from Lafayette; an hour from Baton Rouge; 1.5 hours from Lake Charles; and 2.5 hrs from New Orleans, Louisiana... In the heart of Cajun Country!
