Plan a swamp-tour day trip from New Orleans

Set aside time for the drive in both directions, early arrival, and approximately 1.5–2 hours on the water for a regular swamp tour. Check live directions from your New Orleans hotel or starting point to our Morgan City address before choosing a departure time. Traffic and your starting location affect the journey, so leave a comfortable margin if you have evening plans back in the city.

1. Reserve your tour: call with your preferred date, party size, and any special requirements. Tours depend on weather and passenger minimums.
2. Plan your transportation: use your own vehicle or arrange a rental car. You are responsible for getting to the dock and returning to New Orleans.
3. Confirm the destination: enter 1430 Hwy. 662, Morgan City, LA 70380 into your navigation app. Review our directions and parking information.
4. Arrive early: plan to be at the departure point 30 minutes before your confirmed tour time.

What to expect on the water

Our covered boat offers shade as you explore the swamp with an experienced local guide. Watch for alligators and birds, photograph the bayou scenery, and hear about the surroundings from Captain Billy. Wildlife activity changes with the season and weather, so each trip is different and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
