A truly quintessential Louisiana experience - cruising through the swamps and bayous!  All-weather boats have been purpose-designed for cruising through these unique wetlands.  You'll witness an abundance of wildlife including alligators, egrets, raccoons, nutria, snakes and birds. Of course, you'll local guide will know all the best places to look for these creatures and have some pretty interesting stories to share too.

You will also learn about Cajuns, an ethnic group that predominantly lives in Louisiana that 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 is a part of the state a lot of visitors don't take the time to see.  Yet it's truly an experience you'll only have in Louisiana.  Ask your Bon Voyage consultant to chat through options for your travel dates.
