Half Day Private Swamp Experience in Louisiana
Take part in this EXCLUSIVE private charter boat (6 passengers) Viator VIP Swamp Experience! With this package, you'll get roundtrip transportation to and from your hotel, a private small airboat (6 passengers), and a welcome alcoholic beverage. The flat-bottom airboat allows access to even the shallowest of water and smallest water ways, where many tidal birds and swamp creatures make their homes. Your native guide will narrate the sights, such as tupelo-gum trees and cypress trees covered with moss, as you zoom through the water. Learn about the bayou’s native creatures, such as nutria, turtles, and alligators. Back at the dock, stop by the albino alligator exhibit or visit the gift shop for souvenirs and local snacks.

What's included in Half Day Private Swamp Experience in Louisiana
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and PreservePass-by Only
Travel by air-conditioned coach from central New Orleans to the nearby fishing village of Jean Lafitte, named after an 18th-century smuggler. Home to a variety of diverse cultures, this area surrounded by Louisiana bayous has been the site of extensive logging operations, sugar and rice plantations and animal trapping enterprises over the years. Today, the people's simple way of life is a marked contrast to the hustle-bustle of New Orleans.
Barataria PreservePass-by Only
You will travel through the Barataria Preserve, part of the Jean Lafitte National Park & Preserve system. The preserve offers a taste of Louisiana's wild wetlands, protecting 23,000 acres of bayous, swamps, marshes and forests.
In Jean Lafitte, you can get some snacks (own expense) and check out an albino alligator exhibit before boarding your airboat, a vessel that relies on an aircraft-type propeller mounted on its back to move it forward. Feel the wind in your hair as your move swiftly over the wetlands.
