Manchac Swamp Boat Tour
Beschreibung
Diese Tour wird auf einem privaten Wildreservat durchgeführt. Für unsere Gäste bedeutet dies, dass es keine anderen Boote gibt. Wir erlauben auch nicht die Jagd oder das Fischen auf unserem Eigentum. Die Gäste werden den Manchac-Sumpf so sehen, wie er gesehen werden soll. Die Tiere sehen die Boote als Teil ihres natürlichen Lebensraums, so dass sie keine Angst haben, für unsere Gäste im Freien zu bleiben. Unsere Schiffskapitäne werden Sie über die Tiere in unserem Sumpf sowie über die Lebensweise der Menschen unterrichten, die diesen Sumpf einst als Zuhause bezeichneten.

Reiseverlauf
Während unser langsam fahrendes Pontonboot durch die Wasserstraßen driftet, erfahren Sie mehr über Louisiana Wetlands, die Bewohner des Sumpfes, insbesondere das Leben und die Gewohnheiten des amerikanischen Alligators, sowie die einzigartige Geschichte der Cajun-Stadt Frenier innerhalb des Manchac Sumpfes. Sumpftiere, die unsere Boote täglich sehen, erkennen sie als Teil ihrer normalen Umgebung. Unerschrocken und auf den Ruf ihres Bootskapitäns reagierend, blicken sie aus dem Unterholz und zwischen moosbewachsenen Bäumen und Sträuchern hervor und kommen häufig direkt zum Boot. In der Sicherheit und dem Komfort des Bootes können Sie tatsächlich in ein paar Fuß von springenden Alligatoren kommen.

I was very impressed with the tour. We saw lots of alligators, racoons, and Hogs. We also saw several different types of birds native to the area. Captain Danny did a great job on the tour, highlighting many of the things for us to see. He also had small live turtles, and a small live alligator. He had several other nature items to handle while on the boat. They also had a nice gift shop with items for sale. I highly recommend this tour !
Such an amazing experience. Our tour guide name was tom( sasquache) and he was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the swamp. For being a louisianna local and all the stories he knew was informative. He even gave us some background as far as the Spaniards and all other foreigners. We also saw so much wildlife from gators, to hogs, and raccoons, etc. It was just super neat the get to experience this with our large group. They were so accommodating! Highly recommend they tour!
We had such a great time on our Cajun Pride tour! I'm pretty sure we had the best tour guide. Captain Dustin was very informative and funny and he had the singing voice of an angel. We were with our highschool marching band from south Texas, and we couldn't have had a better ending to our trip. Thank you for the memories Captain Dustin!
Tour guide made the entire thing.
Was an amazing experience, the guide was funny and made it interesting for everyone. Overall would recommend!
Captain Dustin is the best tour guide! We loved his stories, knowledge and personality. He kept us entertained. We saw many gators, raccoons, boar, and birds. We even got to hold a baby gator and take pics! We highly recommend Cajun Pride with Captain Dustin! You won’t be disappointed!!!
Captain Dustin was wonderful! He really kept us entertained with calling on the wildlife to come out, feeding the gators and raccoons, and lots of humor during the tour. My group of 20+ thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
We had the best time on this tour! Captain Dustin was amazing. We got up close to all alligators, raccoons, and wild hogs. Loved that he fed the animals so they would come closer so we could learn about them. Great soundtrack accompanying the boat ride. Dustin was knowledgeable, but also funny. My daughter loved holding the small alligator at the end of the tour so she could learn even more. Loved being on private land. 10/10 recommend!
It was our first time in New Orleans and going on a swamp tour to see gators was very high on the to-do list :) We took a Lyft from our hotel in the French Quarter and it was not cheap (about $70). I would recommend either renting a car for the day or taking advantage of their tour with transportation option. We did the 4:15 tour (which is the last tour of the day) and the front desk gals told us that Lyft/Uber does not operate in LaPlace (where the tour is) and getting a ride after the 90 min tour may be difficult. Fortunately, they had a list of transportation companies that you could call and pre-arrange a pickup. We were able to schedule a driver pickup WHEW. But that was also $70 back. So for $140, definitely rent a car or choose the shuttle service they provide. As for the swamp tour itself, it was really fun. All ages/family friendly, and safe! We enjoyed seeing all of the natural wonders - the spanish moss, cypress trees, tropical plants, critters (we saw racoons and were on the lookout for wild hogs), birds, along with the gators! Our tour guide was Dustin and he was great. He shared alot of facts about gators and the swamp and made it fun, enjoyable, and informative. They stated that springtime is the best time to visit the swamp, since it's not as hot or humid yet, and the temperature is more ideal for the gators to lay out on the banks, catching sun. Usually when it's much hotter, most of the alligators will hang in the water. We even got to hold a baby gator. Very cool! Highly recommended Cajun Pride.
Our family (with kids) took a tour with Captain Tom after a recommendation from fellow travelers. We had the best time. Tom was the best, showed examples of poisonous snakes (in jars, thankfully), crayfish and up close (but far enough) experience with alligators. We would definitely recommend this tour.
