Just about an hour outside of the center of New Orleans, things are even wilder than on Bourbon Street! Amid the moss-laden Cypress trunks, thick marsh reeds and brackish watery avenues of the Louisiana bayou lurk the local fauna: alligators, nutria, gar, turtles, fish and birdlife. For nature lovers, Louisiana swamp tours provide a glimpse of some of the most exotically beautiful scenery and wildlife on the planet. For thrill seekers, there’s nothing quite like speeding across the surface of the water at 50 mph in an airboat, or getting up close and personal with an alligator. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing Bayou tour or an exciting wetlands adventure, any of the area’s wide range of tours is an itinerary must for your New Orleans visit.
