Swamp Tour By Tour Boat Without Transportation Services
For many years people have traveled extensively to locate a unique and exciting adventure exploring Louisiana’s back country with its meandering bayous and swamps that you can only experience here – the historical Manchac Swamp. We invite you to join us for an educational journey back to the early days of Louisiana bayou and swamp explorations.
Swamp creatures, seeing our boats daily, recognize them as part of their normal environment. Unafraid and responsive to their boat captain’s call, they peek out from underbrush and between moss-draped trees and shrubs, frequently coming directly to the boat. In the safety and comfort of the boat, you can actually come within a few feet of jumping alligators.
As your boat drifts through the waterways, you will 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 Cajun town of Frenier within the Manchac Swamp.

FAQ
Is there an alligator on the boat? Why is there gauze around the alligator’s mouth and will it harm the alligator? Are children allowed to touch or hold live animals?
We do have live alligators and sometimes rescued animals on the boats. Anytime an alligator is presented, the mouth will have loose athletic gauze around the mouth for safety reasons. We follow strict guidelines and have proper permits in order to have an alligator on tour. Alligators are very precious to us, and we handle them with the utmost care and respect rotating them throughout the day for their comfort. At the discretion of our captains, all toddlers/children (up to approximately age 6) must be sitting on a parent’s lap or seated in order to touch or hold any live animal. The captain will have the final say if he will allow anyone of any age to hold our animals to maintain the animals’ comfort and trust.
