The home of the Pirate Jean Lafitte and his men, legend has it that Spanish gold bullion and other treasure is buried here to this day. Until recently, the only method of transportation in this region was by boat. Even today, the waterways are the roads and highways for the people that live along the edge of the bayous. You will see their camps and boats. We might even see an alligator being skinned out for resale.
Fishermen commonly pass our tour boat and proudly display their catch of the day.
From the relaxed slow drift of our tour boat, you will see more historical sites than any other swamp tour in south Louisiana. You will see a 2,000 year old Indian Burial Mound, a Cajun Cemetery, the Fleming Plantation home, and the Trading Post of Barataria. You will see cypress trees, swamps, and wildlife. As we travel along, you can reach out and touch the Spanish Moss hanging from the trees on both sides of the boat. Many of our visitors consider a swamp tour as a video and photo opportunity of a lifetime.
