Explore the mysteries and timeless beauty of southern Louisiana on this exciting trip over land and water. This is a chance to drive alongside the Mississippi River, hop onto a swamp boat and mix and mingle with the natives, all in one comprehensive tour of the Louisiana swamps and bayous. Your tour begins the moment you
climb onto the motor coach and you then set off for a brief but pleasant ride across the Mississippi River. Aboard the all-weather swamp boat you have a privileged view of the nesting grounds of various critters from alligators and egrets to raccoons and nutria, as well as many species of snakes. Native guides will tell you all
about the strenuous efforts that have been carried out in order to preserve and restore Louisiana?s vanishing wetlands. This same tour you has been featured on The Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, and CBS.
Soar through the fascinating history of New Orleans aboard the traditional steamboat Natchez, the very last steamboat of its kind in New Orleans! This two hour lunch cruise begins by slowly gliding away from the heart of the French Quarter, one of the liveliest and most popular corners of New Orleans, to then transport you along the water back into the age when cotton was as craved as gold. In the forlorn times of New Orleans ?cottonocracy?, the days were long and the rewards for a hard day?s work, few if any. Recalling these hard past times makes one positively relish the privilege of living in our day and age.
