This was awesome!
We went on a tour with a traditional swamp boat and saw gators, birds (ibis, egrets, vultures, herons, and more), jumping fish, and even turtles up on logs.
The tour guide was great- adults and kids all really enjoyed it. -

I was lucky enough to go on a Swamp Tour for a work outing, and everyone had a blast. They actually sent a bus to pick us up from the CBD which made it even better since most of my department take public transportation to work and don't have cars. (I don't know if that's something they do on a regular basis or not, but it was a nice touch) Our tour guide was funny and very authentic. So authentic I had trouble understanding his cajun accent, but it was great. He was really interactive with the his passengers and when I said I wanted to pet an alligator (stupid me) he said "Ok, let's go!" and pulled up next to an alligator, opened the side door, and was reaching his hand in the water petting an actual alligator. I wasn't actually brave enough to try- I wouldn't even hold the baby alligator he had on board that every one passed around. But it was very cool nonetheless. I really enjoyed the history he gave us about the area as we went through the swamp since very few of us are from Louisiana. I would highly recommend a swamp tour to anyone wanting to see something other than Bourbon Street when visiting New Orleans.

Loved watching the alligator's jump outta the water. Great tour guide who was just filled with so much wonderful information! Also thought it was cool how we got to hold a baby gator... too cool!

This is the most fun we've had on this trip. My wife, daughter and I went on this kind of wondering what we were getting ourselves into but this was an absolute BLAST. Our Captain did a great job of explaining the area and how the swamps and byways were formed. He sped us up and slowed us down, got us up close and personal to some 'Gators and told us alot of great stories. The tour is a full 2 hours and well worth every penny. We paid $45 a piece and it was worth alot more. I think I was smiling the entire time.
This is a gotta do if you're in the area. -

Booked our swamp tour on a small airboat (6 passengers) directly with captain Lou and received a very personalized service. We went on the actual tour with another captain (Jay?), he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the swamps- the highlight was when he kissed an aligator (wow some folks really have some nerves) and brought a baby one onboard.... Enjoyed the fast airboat experience, less than 2 hours long, saw a few small alligators, beautiful view of the swamps, don't forget to bring a coat (gets cool out there), sunglasses. We paid $80/person with hotel pickup - 30 minute ride from French Quarter (with coupon), well worth the experience.

I have to admit that I was skeptical. I went here as part of a bachelor party excursion to New Orleans. Our groom discovered this place while watching the travel channel.
I am so happy he discovered Captain Lou's Cajun Style Swamp Tours. This was one of the best parts of the trip.
We climbed into our Hulkamania red and yellow colored fanboat and put on the matching headphones to protect our ears and away we went! we came right in the beginning of particularly humid August so every time the fan boat went fast, we got nice, dry, and air conditioned.
Our captain was Captain Ernie and he was incredibly knowledgeable about the swamp, bayou and gators.
The whole experience makes you feel like you are a part of some sort of action movie. This will be something I recommend to anyone going to Louisiana in the future. -

If you want an experience of checking out the Bayou, you have to check out Cajun Style Swamp Tours! We had a great time on an airboat. Justin took us around on an adventure. The first thing it made me think of was the waterboy and his mama speeding down the bayou to his Foozball game. Justin is very knowledgeable of the bayou. It was very informational and we had a good time as well. The highlight was Justin letting us hold a baby gator. Ask for Capitan Lou. He runs a great operation! Thank you for a memorable time!

I cannot believe how incredible this tour was!! Cap't Lou was so informative and lead a great adventure. This is as real as it gets. There's no props or fake decor. The alligators are so beautiful and amazing. Lou even jumped out of the boat in a grassy area to nab us a baby alligator for us to see up close!! There us no need to go to anyother commercialized opperation this place is the spot no doubt. A great family buisness to support!
