Swamp Tours

For many years people have traveled extensively to locate a unique and exciting adventure exploring Louisiana’s backcountry 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.

Transportation pick-up begins 1.5 hours prior to scheduled tour time and have a 30 minute window. Please be OUTSIDE and ready for pick-up when the driver arrives, keeping in mind that buses have no parking areas and will be allowed to stop only momentarily for pick-ups. Due to traffic delays and the number of stops, we ask that you be outside and ready for this 30 minute period. Pick-up location may change due to circumstances beyond our control.

After each swamp tour, a small amount of time is scheduled for guests to peruse the property, use the restroom, grab a snack or visit the gift shop. Personal car or rental car is suggested for those who are on a strict schedule or do not wish to wait on the shuttle service. Please review our FAQ page for additional information.

Swamp Tour By Tour Boat 

Approximately 1.5 hour swamp tour by boat. We request that you arrive 30 minutes prior to your tour time as the traffic along the route to Cajun Pride can be unpredictable. When you arrive, the ticket office is directly UPSTAIRS where you will check-in and collect your ticket in order to visit our property and board the boat. An entrance ticket is required in order to tour the swamp.

Boats leave promptly at tour time. Unfortunately, we are unable to delay tour times and hold boats for guests that are late.

For guests using rideshares, there could be quite a delay so please give yourself extra time. We advise pre-order returns to avoid delays in your travels back to New Orleans. Rideshare pick-ups may take up to 1 hour to arrive at our swamp tour location in LaPlace. Alternatively, we offer a Swamp Tour With Hotel Shuttle option.
