What you’ll do:
Experience the timeless beauty of South Louisiana in a custom-built swamp boat. As you cruise along the water with your party crew, native guides will reveal the mysteries of the swamps and bayous and the Cajun “joie de vivre.” You’ll travel the same swamp byways where pirate Jean Lafitte and his renegade band of followers hid their booty - in the area now named “Lafitte”.
And remember, y’all, this is a backwater wildlife tour! Be on the lookout for the nesting grounds of gators and many species of snakes. Wishing your party “bon temps” (good times) on the bayou!
Why we love it for your party:
- The adventurous party (celebrate the party crew by seeing new places)
- Timeless, mysterious vibes (Cajun cemeteries and Spanish moss dripping from Cypress trees)
- Experience southern Louisiana wildlife (turtles, snakes, birds, and, yep, plenty of gators)
- Party on the bayou (when in NOLA...you go on a Louisiana swamp tour)
