Swamp Tour

Alligators, turtles and egrets - oh my - plus 1.5 hours of zipping around on a small Airboat in the Bayou were the highlights of our swamp tour in NOLA. While we putted out slowly into the alligator infested waters, our captain soon went full throttle taking us on a twisty-twirly thrill ride. He certainly knew the waters well, having grown up hunting venomous snakes for fun and waterskiing in the bayou (“the ‘gators won’t bother you…”). Be sure to do the tour in the fall or spring and not when the alligators are hibernating as you won’t want to miss them - especially the babies like Irene in the photo.
