Swamp and Bayou Tour
Board a custom built, all-weather swamp boat for a trip into the wild-life rich swamps and bayous of Louisiana.
After a short motor coach ride across the Mississippi River you will board an all-weather boat that has been purpose designed for cruising through the swamps and bayous of Louisiana. These wetlands are home to an abundance of wildlife including alligators, egrets, raccoons, nutria, snakes and birds, and your native guide will know all the best places to look for these creatures.
You will also learn about the Cajun’s, an ethnic group that predominantly live in Louisiana who utilized the swamps and bayous to create a water based lifestyle that included hunting, fishing and trapping. These people turned soup into gumbo, the washboard into a musical instrument and the swamps into a homely paradise. The naturalist will also explain why the Louisiana wetlands are gradually vanishing and the efforts that are being made to preserve and restore them. This tour has been featured on numerous TV shows and wildlife documentaries and is a must-do for anyone that visits New Orleans.

Bon Voyage will be my first point of contact for my future trips and I will recommend them to friends and family.
Jade was outstanding and her colleague very helpful in compiling my holiday.
From the initial warm and friendly call right through to completion I felt Jade was enjoying making this a memorable holiday. Great local knowledge, sensible cost saving recommendations -she really got the vibe of what my two teenage daughters were wanting.
I had researched our basic needs hotel and travel wise but Jade took it to the next level with great svaings and ideas.
I felt she was completely trustworthy and a credit to her company.
