This guided boat tour lasts about one hour and thirty minutes and takes place on a pontoon boat through 20,000 acres of tidewater cypress swamp near Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, located about 35 to 45 minutes from New Orleans. The boat moves slowly through shallow marshes where moss-covered cypress and tupelo-gum trees line the bayous. A local guide provides full narration throughout the trip, pointing out wildlife and natural features. Common wildlife sightings include alligators, often seen sunning on logs during warmer weather, as well as turtles, snakes, egrets, herons, and ibis. Occasionally, hawks, owls, and bald eagles appear. In cooler seasons, white-tailed deer, raccoons, and nutria may be spotted. The guide may feed alligators to allow close-up photographs. The tour departs from a location without nearby taxi or rideshare services. Guests who select the hotel pickup option receive transport beginning about one hour and fifteen minutes before the tour start time. Food and drinks are not included but can be purchased onsite from the gift shop and bar.
