The swamps are largely untouched and house an abundance of wildlife, both beneath the water and above the woody vegetation. Airboats are your best bet to view all the wildlife and Louisiana’s wetlands which span over three million acres. While swamps are a worldwide phenomenon, the mystery and brooding of the Louisiana swamps add to its appeal. Not to mention its indigenous Cajun culture and its hosting of over two million ancient alligators that roam the bayous. Fortunately, Cajun Swamp Tours are plentiful! You can choose between going on a smaller, more intimate boat tour with a group of friends/family or a more communal one that caters to a larger crowd.
