Overview

This tour is done on a privately owned wildlife refuge, so what that means for our guests is that there are no other boats. We also do not allow hunting or fishing on our property. The guests will see the Manchac swamp as it is meant to be seen. The animals see the boats as part of their natural habitat, so they are unafraid to stay out in the open for our guests to see. Our boat captains will teach you about the animals that inhabit our swamp, as well as the way of life of the people that once called this swamp home.

What's Included

  • Picnic tables provided throughout property
  • 90-minute swamp boat tour with air-conditioned transportation from New Orleans
  • There are restrooms available before and after your tour
  • Gratuities
  • Rain ponchos or sunscreen

Cajun Pride Swamp Tours

After New Orleans pickups are complete, you'll head out to the Manchac Swamp for your 90-minute tour. Manchac Swamp is approximately 30-45 minutes from downtown New Orleans/French Quarter. As your slow-moving pontoon boat drifts through the waterways, you will learn about Louisiana Wetlands, the inhabitants of the swamp, particularly the life and habits of the American Alligator, as well as the unique history of the Cajun town of Frenier within the Manchac Swamp. Swamp creatures, seeing our boats daily, recognize them as part of their normal environment. Unafraid and responsive to their boat captain's call, they peek out from underbrush and between moss-draped trees and shrubs, frequently coming directly to the boat. In the safety and comfort of the boat, you can actually come within a few feet of jumping alligators.

Q: Will I get seasick on New Orleans Swamp Boat Tour with Shuttle Service?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
