Our driver Derek was amazing! He gave us a lot of really good information and history about New Orleans. Made the 40 minute ride there and back interesting and feel short. Our Captain Emit also did and amazing job. Super informative and answered everyone's questions. Took his time to explain things and cracked a lot of jokes that made our tour even more extraordinary. Highly recommend taking the tour you will have an awesome time.

Brittany Bunker

Justina our driver was awesome and Captain Randy (“Blueberry”) gave the BEST tour! He knew tons of interesting information and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. We saw all kinds of wildlife including herons, diamond back snakes, raccoons, turtles and LOTS of alligators. We definitely recommend this tour!

We had a great experience with Captain Ben and our bus driver Brian. Captain Ben was very knowledgeable and skilled at maneuvering the boat to get the best possible angles to see wildlife. We saw lots of gators, turtles, birds and some very cute and hungry raccoons! Brian was very knowledgeable on history of the area and we learned a lot on our drive to the swamp. He was also very accommodating, holding a seat at the front of the bus for my handicapped father. We would definitely book with Cajun Encounters again.

Justina the bus driver was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and a safe driver. Gave us all the necessary information we needed to get the most out of our trip.

Wade G. Our boat captain was great! Very, very informative and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our gator boat tour very much! Great experience. Would highly recommend to others.

Our tour guide Lane is amazing! We had an extraordinary experience at Cajun Encounters and saw a lot of wildlife including alligators (big and small fellas), raccoons, turtles, great blue herons, and wild pigs. Lane stopped every time for us to see those animals and he told funny jokes about them too! A great experience for all ages!

Did the swamp bayou boat tour today at 12:15pm. Definitely get there at least 30-45 mins early due to checking in at the register inside the gift shop. They line you up 18-20 per boat and give you colored wrist bands to sit at the table designated with the number of the boat your captain is assigned to for the day. The tour itself was definitely worth it. Pat was our tour guide and he was a delight. Knowledgeable and funny. His crocodile vs alligator joke and calling the pig his ex was hysterical. He made the boat ride worth it. We saw gators, coons, birds, snapping turtles, snakes. Def take water or snacks with you. You’re allowed a bag but the boats do speed up so watch out for your hats and glasses. The boats were covered so didn’t need much sunscreen thankfully. If you can afford to drive yourself to it you def should. It saves you so much time as the buses take forever to leave back to the city. Our tour lasted about 2h from time of departure.

Our driver Brian, who picked us up and took us out to our swamp tour, was amazing! Safe and courteous driver and full of fun facts and history about New Orleans and surrounding towns as we drove to our adventure. Once there, Dustin lead an amazing tour! He had so much knowledge from working on the land for years and as a swamp captain and ensured we got to see so much wildlife from gators, to hogs and their babies, a raccoon family, lots of turtles and a snake and spider, too! Visiting the natural beauty of the swamp was a highlight of our visit. Highly recommend!
