Venture into the heart of Louisiana’s swampland aboard a canopied boat. Travel deep into the meandering shady bayous lined with moss-draped cypress trees, fascinating plant life and creatures that call these swamps home. Along the way, your guide, a native of South Louisiana and Cajun Country, will recount the legends and lore of Louisiana’s still untamed wilderness. Hear tales of how notorious pirate, Jean Lafitte, raided Spanish ships in the Gulf of Mexico and retreated to the dense swamps with his treasures. Now, a more natural type of wildlife inhabits the area. Nature permitting, you may see alligators, egrets, mink, nutria and other inhabitants who enjoy the dank, mysterious bayou environment.
