This excursion, facilitated by Cajun Country Swamp Tours, will be held at Lake Martin.

Cajun Country Swamp Tours is near Lafayette, Louisiana just 7 miles from Interstate 10 at the Breaux Bridge Exit (109). Owned and operated by a father and son team, the tours are done with as little environmental impact as possible through a beautiful surreal cypress/tupelo swamp. On the way to the tour you will cross the historic Bayou Teche and pass through Breaux Bridge.

The tour area, Cypress Island/Lake Martin Swamp, near Lafayette, is famous for its impressive scenic beauty and wildlife. Alligators, egrets, herons, bayous, ancient cypress trees covered with Spanish moss and more of what you envision a Louisiana swamp to be are waiting for you on Cajun Country Swamp Tours.

The tour is conducted aboard open swamp people boats (crawfish skiffs) that are designed to get us into the heart of the swamp. The tour boats are powered by environmentally friendly and very quiet Yamaha 4-stroke outboard motors.
