Cajun Encounters Tour Company Activities

Tons of wildlife, nice boats

I took my kids, 11 and 12, and they had an absolute blast! I was worried 2 hours on a boat would bore them but they were not bored at all. They actually said “that didn’t seem like 2 hours at all.” Our captain Sonny was hilarious, knowledgeable, and definitely captivated his audience. The check in process could definitely use some updating. (Get there early enough to get your wristbands so you don’t have to wait in a cramped up trailer for 30+ minutes.) But the tour itself was perfect! Thanks for a great first time swamp tour!

Our guide Luca was a very kind, entertaining and knowledgeable man whom we really enjoyed. We saw plenty of wildlife and a small insight to how some who live in the swamps live. Worth every penny!

This tour looks perfect to me. We visited both plantations and learned a lot about their history. Even the drive itself was enjoyable because of the scenery around. The roads built in the swamps are very impressive! The only suggestion is regarding the pic up procedure. Standing for 30 minutes on the street is not very comfortable. I believe that the driver (or the company operator) could send messages to the participants to indicate a more exact time. Alternatively, we could wait in a hotel lobby and the driver would call us when required. Such practices are used in Cancun and elsewhere.

Seeing the plantations was exciting and informative. I's like to make a special commendation to Pam, our guide at Laura Plantation. She was entertaining and completely captivating, making the history of the people and the place come alive. I'll recommend the tour to anyone I know who is going to New Orleans.

Our driver Enika was great! She was knowledgeable and accommating. I enjoyed the tours but was under the impression we would have more time at each plantation. We were rushed through Oak Alley and had no time to ask questions.

Have taken several swamp tours and wanted something different. This was it! Awesome, saw alligators of course, beautiful foliage. The swamp was so peaceful! Also saw will young boar. Enjoyed very much. Bugs not a problem!

We had a great time on this tour! A must see!!

CAPTAIN GARY KNOWS THE SWAMP. HAD A GREAT TIME LEARNING ALL ABOUT THE SWAMP. NOT AS MANY ALLIGATORS AS WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE, BUT THAT CANT BE CONTROLLED. IF YOUR HOPING TO SEE NIGHT TIME CRITTERS THAT DIDNT HAPPEN EITHER. THIS TOUR IS MORE ABOUT THE SWAMP ITSELF
