Overview

This full-day tour lasts about 7 and a half hours and combines a bus tour of New Orleans with a swamp excursion by boat or airboat. The tour begins with a ride on a climate-controlled minibus that covers key parts of New Orleans, including a guided drive through the French Quarter and a 20-minute walking visit to St. Louis Cemetery No. 3, known for its distinctive above-ground tombs. The bus tour also highlights areas affected by Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters. After the city segment, the group heads to the Barataria Preserve for the swamp portion. Guests choose between a covered swamp tour boat or an airboat at booking. The boat tour lasts about one hour and 40 minutes and passes by features such as a 2000-year-old Indian Burial Mound, a Cajun cemetery, and a fishing village. Wildlife is often visible during the tour, and the swamp waterways serve as highways for the local Cajun communities. The airboat option offers a mix of high-speed travel and slow stops for photography. The airboats have stadium-style seating to ensure clear views for all passengers. Wildlife such as alligators can approach closely. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, and a professional driver and guide handle the city and swamp portions. Gratuities are not included.
