3. HOW LONG DOES A TOUR LAST? Swamp Tours last approximately 90 minutes.
4. WHAT WILL I SEE ON A SWAMP TOUR? Our swamp tours are fully narrated by one of our authentic Cajun tour guides. As you travel through the swamp on one of our tours you will see birds, cypress trees, and the alligators that make this area internationally famous! Our captains share, from personal experience, what it’s like to live, work and “pass a good time” on the waters of the Atchafalaya Swamp (pronounced uh-CHA-fuh-LIE-uh). The most thrilling experience is finding one of the large American alligators who call the Atchafalaya home!
5. WILL WE SEE AN ALLIGATOR ON OUR TOUR? There are no guarantees that tours will see alligators because daily weather patterns, water levels, and seasonal conditions can cause them to go into hiding. However, our trained tour guides know where the alligators should be, and will do their absolute best to spot them for you.
