Our swamp boat tour with Cajun Adventures was an unforgettable experience! Captain Pat was phenomenal, combining deep knowledge of the swamp’s wildlife with humor and engaging storytelling. We spotted alligators, turtles, and birds, all while learning about the ecosystem from someone truly passionate about the environment. A big shoutout also goes to our bus driver, Derek, who made the ride just as enjoyable with his friendly demeanor and fascinating mini-tour, sharing insights into local culture and history. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting New Orleans and looking to experience Louisiana’s natural beauty and charm!!
From pickup to the drive back, this experience was truly special! Justina, our bus driver, was a wonderful guide as we made our way through the city and to the swamp. She was prompt with pickup times, drove safely, and provided interesting facts about Louisiana along the way. Captain Scott, aka Swamp Ninja, was super informative and hilarious! We definitely got out money's worth, and then some! Don't miss out on this adventure!
Captain Emmett was awesome!! We surprised my mom with tickets for her birthday and she described it as “wonderful swamp fun” (direct quote). He answered every question, was full of jokes and information for the whole trip. 10/10 would recommend and the tour. We last minute decided to upgrade to the VIP tour and it was a great call, much more personal experience with fun extra tour spots. Thank you guys 🫡
Just had a great experience on the gator tour. Bus driver Derek was great at giving recommendations and some history of New Orleans. Tour guide blueberry was awesome at spotting gators and other animals. Would definitely recommend!
Booked this tour after we were let down by Viator for a booking on the Steamboat Natchez. I'm so very glad we did. Our guide, Butch, was amazing! His local knowledge, wit and care were second to none. Have been on a lot of bus tours in a lot of countries but this was hands down the best!
Alligators, Blue herons, racoons, turtles, snakes woodpeckers and other assorted wildlife all backed up by well informed and entertaining guide (who also can arrange skydiving 👍) what's not to love!!!
We were picked up by Derek and he gave us a great intro to the area and where to go in the city. Dustin took us out on a small boat tour which was worth the extra cost. Less people, better dialogue. Highly recommend the tour to anyone. They don’t feed marshmallows too which is much better for the wildlife!
