Cajun Pride’s swamp tours are conducted on a private swamp with protected wildlife that does not allow fishing and hunting, so the animals are not too shy to show themselves to guests. You’re more likely to see alligators and wildlife than on other swamp tours. ### Why should I choose Cajun Pride? Cajun Pride offers an unforgettable journey into the private area of Manchac Swamp with tours that provide the best memories when you visit Louisiana, undisturbed by other boats that may be joyriding or water skiing. ### How far away is the swamp? The swamp is 27 miles from downtown New Orleans or the French Quarter and only 15 minutes from the New Orleans airport. ### Is the tour wheelchair-accessible? One of the boats is wheelchair-accessible, but please indicate while booking your ticket(s) if you will use a wheelchair, as the boat space is limited. ### What if it rains? The swamp tours are offered come rain or shine unless canceled due to extreme weather conditions. The boats used in the swamp tour are covered for protection from rain, but you may bring your umbrellas for walking a short distance from your vehicle to the swamp. ### Can I bring small children on the boat?
