Swamp Tour!
10:00am - 2:00pm
Take an exciting journey down deep into the heart of an indigenous
South Louisiana Swamp with your very own native Cajun guide. There
you will hear tales and stories of growing up on the Bayou, or as
they say down there "Ba You, Cher!" You will witness spectacular
wildlife in their native habitat. Observe blue herons, egrets, nutria,
turtles, and of course - the star of the swamp - alligators! After
this excursion, you will understand why Louisiana's mysterious swamps
are considered to be the "crown jewel" of the Louisiana
Purchase and why often the only method of transportation is by boat.
Enjoy a tasty boxed lunch which will be provided, but remember -
"Don't feed the alligators!"
