What can I Expect on this Louisiana Swamp Tour?

My tour lasts from a minimum of two or three hours, depending on which area customers book. Due to the long length of the tour and the fact that it is personalized makes my tour the best value in Louisiana. If you are only traveling through Louisiana once and your time is limited, a swamp tour into the interior of the Atchafalya Basin is where you want to travel!

We will be exploring part of largest contiguous forested wetland in North America, the Atchafalaya Basin. The average difference in water levels from season to season can be as much as 8-9 feet depending on the amount of water coming from the Mississippi River. As the water rises and falls, it provides different habitats for different flora and fauna, making every swamp tour truly unique. We will experience breathtaking views, cypress trees, local culture, and native wildlife.  We may even check and bait crawfish traps and fishing nets just like the commercial Fisherman do that make a living in the swamps. On occasions, we may stop and meet commercial Fisherman. During dry season (fall) we make get out of the boat and walk through a cypress forest. This tour is a great adventure for people of all ages. 

Who is my Cajun Swamp Tour Guide?

My name is Ronnie Briscoe. I am the holder of a United States Coast Guard Captains License. I am legally licensed to provide tours and fishing trips in Louisiana. Always ask your tour guide to show you his or her USCG license before you board their vessel. I am trained for water navigation, safety, and first aid, with thousands of hours on the water and woods in and near the Atchafalya Basin. I have recreational and commercial fished for different species of fish, using rod and reels, crawfish traps, hoop nets and other methods, traveling the west side of the Atchafalya River Basin by boat, looking for those out of the way

Will we Feed Wild Alligators?

This is not a alligator tour. We see only wild alligators in their natural habitat. We do not feed alligators or any wildlife. American alligators are more timid and less aggressive than people think. They are naturally afraid of people. It is ra re for a human to be attacked by an alligator. Attacks are more likely when an alligator is being fed or if it is around people often. This makes them used to people and they become less afraid of humans. These type of alligators are more likely to become a nuisance and possibly dangerous and end up being killed or relocated. However, wild alligators tend to stray away from the sight of humans unless you are too close to their nest or their baby alligators We strive to provide the most genuine and authentic experience possible. Feeding wildlife consistently encourages animals to become reliant on that food source rather than feeding naturally. Besides, there are plenty of species of fish and shellfish that they can snack on in the Atchafalaya Basin! 

R. Williams

Great fun and experience. My family and I had a great time with Ronnie on the swamp if a swamp tour is what you want I HIGHLY recommend River of swamp boat tours.

This is a great tour!!!

Our family (including an almost 3 year old lil girl) went on the long tour with Ronnie around the middle of August. It was very nice, informative, beautiful scenery. Ronnie is a fantastic guide!

Where will the Cajun Swamp Tours Start?

My swamp tours adventures will begin from two different boat launch areas. One, by far, even if it’s out of the way, will be the best for customers who want to travel into the interior of the basin, will last for three hours, will be out of the Bayou Bennoit boat landing on the West Atchafalya Basin Levee near Lake Fauscee Point State Park. The second area will be from the public boat launch between the Interstate 10 bridge at the Butte LaRose exit. This tour will last about two hours. Even though it’s not like my interior basin swamp tour, you will still get a good feel for how things are in the Atchafalya Basin swamp. Plenty of alligators and wildlife If customers don’t have a lot time this is a great area to explore.

Sunset Tours This seasonal tour begins just before the sun sets then ventures into the dark on a boat with up to 25 people. You might even see the rougarou, a legendary creature in Laurentian French communities similar to a werewolf.

Canoeing Whether you’re new to paddling or a seasoned adventurer, rent their 2-person canoes, life jacket and paddle for 2 hours and explore the swamp at your own pace. This option offers a unique and eco-friendly way to experience the swamp by leaving wildlife undisturbed as you quietly glide among the moss-draped cypress trees.

Guided Photography Excursions Whether you’re a serious photographer or just like to snap shots on your cell phone, McGee’s 3-hour guided photo tours are designed to make sure you leave the area with memorable keepsake images. Learn about the swamp and the best techniques to capture the beauty of this unique environment. Tours are available at sunrise and sunset for the best lighting.

Welcome to Louisiana Swamp Tours

Welcome to my webpage. Hello, my name is Wendy Thibodeaux. I have a small company, called Louisiana Swamp Tours, where I take people on beautiful, narrated swamp tours. The place where the swamp tours take place is Lake Martin, located in Breaux Bridge, LA. Louisiana Swamp Tours’ boat will fit up to 9 average size adults. Average size meaning around 185lbs. Our smaller sized boat is more personable. On the boat tour you will travel on the water, passing under cypress trees; with moss adorning and hanging from their branches. While on the swamp tour, we will have the opportunity to see alligators, large and small, and turtles too! Different birds, like the little green heron, little blue heron, great blue heron, white egret, cattle egret, and the snowy egret are often spotted. Sometimes the rosette spoonbill, night heron, and red wing black bird are also noticed while on tour. Along the swamp tour, you will learn different things about the swamp and it’s inhabitants. Louisiana Swamp Tours invites you to join us on a one hour swamp tour through the beautiful Lake Martin. Reservations are required.

About Louisiana Tour Company

Join us for a city, plantation, swamp or high-speed airboat tour in louisiana.

Back in 1989, my dad, Ray Walker, asked me to help him fix up an old pontoon boat that had enough seating for six people.He found a place for a swamp tour boat to dock in the small fishing village of Crown Point. He bought a van, made a single page brochure and began operation. He started the swamp business, south and west of the French Quarter of New Orleans. In the beginning, he sometimes had to pick up passengers and then be his own captain. That was our beginning.

My name is Milton Walker Jr., and I got my captain’s license and started doing tours with my father back in 1993. Around 1995, he traded in two small boats for larger swamp tour boat that seated 60 passengers. A year later, he got a second swamp tour boat.

In 1999, I took over the Swamp tour business with two vans & two tour boats.

Since then, we have expanded our business to a full service tour company. We have our own Transportation Company with a fleet minibuses and vans.  www.alerttransportation.com

We offer 3 hour New Orleans City/Post-Katrina tours, Tours of the Oak Alley Plantation, Destrehan Plantation, Swamp Tours, and Combo Tours. We also can provide bachelor/bachelorette parties and private tours. We also have Ghost walking tours of the French Quarter.

We Can Help Fill Some of Your Available Time While in New Orleans!

We are a local, family owned business from the beginning..

Now my two sons are working in the family business. Eric Walker manages the business end and Justin Walker is a captain & manages the swamp tour operations. Since we are not a big corporation, our business depends on a quality experience. You will be given first class treatment from the beginning to the end. We pride ourselves on being the best that we can be. Ninety Nine percent of the guests that come on our tour, tell us that our tours was the highlight of their visit to New Orleans and French Quarter.

With all the attractions that there is to offer in the City of New Orleans, that tells us we did a excellent job!
