  • Luling, Luling, Louisiana, United States
    You'll start your day driving out to Cajun Country, where you'll go through wild cypress swamps, over the Mississippi River on an impressive suspended bridge, and along vast sugarcane fields, as the guide tells a unique story of the odyssey of the Cajun people. Next you'll take a narrated private airboat tour (about 1.5 hours) on winding bayous in remote cypress swamps. Your High-Speed Airboat provides a thrilling ride as you comfortably glide over marshes and into deep, secluded bayous. Your Cajun guide, also an alligator hunter and fur trapper, will share his knowledge of the swamp including reptile habits, healing plants and exotic birds. After this peaceful ride, explore his picturesque swamp zoo on Bayou Boeuf.

First rate tour that begins with being picked up at the hotel. Steve, our tour guide provided a wealth of information about the city of New Orleans as well as about the history of Louisiana. Fun time on the swamp tour including meeting some of the alligators! Yes, they all have names. Great and informative tour guides at both of the plantations. Enjoyed sampling southern cuisine at the lunch buffet that was included. A must tour for anyone traveling to New Orleans. You will not be disappointed!
