Description

Discover the Manchac Swamp by boat on a family-friendly adventure in the great outdoors. Embark on an unforgettable tour led by an experienced captain and marvel at Louisiana's diverse wildlife as you explore the bayous of Cajun Country. Journey by boat, Cajun-style, for a tour through the heart of Southern Louisiana's swamplands. Navigate the meandering bayous and gaze at the moss-draped cypress trees, fascinating plant life, and the creatures who make their homes here. Listen to informative commentary from your captain as you wind your way into the bayou. Swamp creatures are used to seeing the tour boats, so you'll likely catch a glimpse of various birds, snakes, deer, fish, and possibly even an alligator. As your boat drifts through the waterways, learn about the Louisiana Wetlands, the inhabitants of the swamp—particularly the life and habits of the American Alligator—as well as the unique history of the local Cajun town of Frenier.
