First tour of this kind and boy was I pleased. Pat our your guide was nothing short of knowledgeable and funny! It's a beautiful experience and one that I'm glad I chose. Emeka our bus driver was also really sweet and got us there safely. I would highly recommend them, plus they are eco-friendly. The animals know their kind and almost look for them. 5 stars for sure 🌟

Do Alligators Hibernate?

Cajun Encounters Tours | Jan 12, 2022
Cajun Encounters Tours | Jan 12, 2022

Alligators do not hibernate, they brumate. Instead, as the temperatures drop and it becomes too cold for them to be out in the open, they fall into dormancy. They dig a "gator hole" beside the waterway to provide shelter in the event of bad weather. They literally dig tunnels in the mud to sleep in, and when they emerge from the gator hole, other creatures move in and take up residence in the region. It's difficult to estimate how long these gators will slumber in the tunnels, but once the weather warms up, they'll emerge from their brumation. Because of the colder waters and living habitats, alligators also slow down during the winter months.

What's the best way to get to New Orleans?

Cajun Encounters Tours | Dec 13, 2021
Cajun Encounters Tours | Dec 13, 2021

The best ways to get around New Orleans are on foot and by public transportation. The city's neighborhoods are very compact, making them perfect for strolling sightseers. If you don't feel like walking, hop on one of the famous streetcars. Another option is cycling. Since New Orleans is flat, it’s easy to get around by bike. Also, to get into the city from the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) you can take the Airport Shuttle.The shuttle services the downtown and uptown districts as well as the French Quarter. Taxis are also available,Uber and Lyft are also widely available. You can also check out our sister company, Audubon Limousine, for private transportation and airport pickup/dropoff.

What do you wear on a swamp tour?

Cajun Encounters Tours | Oct 14, 2021
Cajun Encounters Tours | Oct 14, 2021

Comfortable, casual, & water-resistant clothes. Since our tours are approximately two hours out on the water on a boat, we cannot guarantee that you will stay 100% dry the whole tour so it’s best to wear something you don’t mind getting wet. All of our boats beside the VIP small boat are covered and will provide protection. If you are attending our night swamp tour, bringing a lightweight jacket is a good idea because the temperature does drop later in the evening, especially out on the water once the boat is moving.

What is the best time of day to do a swamp tour in New Orleans?

Cajun Encounters Tours | Oct 14, 2021
Cajun Encounters Tours | Oct 14, 2021

Hi! 8.30am to 9:45 AM or early evening tours are recommended if you want to view the wetlands at its most beautiful time of day. The light in the early morning and evening has warmer tones than the light in the middle of the day. Furthermore, these periods do not have the sharp, full light or full shade contrast of midday, making photography considerably easier.

I saw some images of them feesing the allogators? It seems this is not an eco tour. Are they trying to create pets?

Jerry Hellurude | Sep 10, 2019
Heather Custer | Sep 9, 2020

They feed the alligators protein pellets. If they didn't feed the alligators then they would not come out near the boat. They would likely not come out where they can be seen at all. Let's be honest here. People who pay to go on a swamp tour want to see the alligators. So trying to make pets? No just making a Great Swamp Tour!
