Everything About the 2019 Ford Expedition XLT and Limited Trims

The bayou is home to numerous fun and exciting things to see and do. From watching the crocodiles on a swamp tour or visiting the Destrehan Plantation to learn some local Louisiana history, you are in for an exciting day. Come See the Gators at Cajun Pride Swamp Tours This is definitely a family outing that will be remembered forever. A mere 25 miles from New Orleans, Cajun Pride Swamp Tours is a privately owned refuge offering tours filled with plenty of wildlife and animals. Many other swamp tours are done on public land where other visitors and boats can cause the animals to go hide, but not here. We assure you that your visit here will be worth it. Our Cajun Captains are all local from the South Louisiana Bayous. With humor and accents, they will take you back to the early days of swamp explorations and Louisiana bayou, thanks to the American Alligator, extensive wildlife, and the original beauty of the moss-draped cypress trees. Experience up close the sweet smell of our wild hibiscus rose, marshmallow plants, the unique underwater swamp life, and the special history of the Manchac Swamp within the Cajun town of Frenier. Tours are done seven days a week and cater to both locals and vacationers with a swamp tour, a plantation tour, and a combination tour. Their swamp tours are by far the most popular and provide a one-of-a-kind experience. Bonus, receive a discount by booking online! Visit Destrehan Plantation and Dive Into Local History Destrehan Plantation is a beautiful and historic location with a lot to offer during a tour. It was established in 1787 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, being documented as the oldest plantation home in the lower part of the Mississippi Valley.

You will be granted access to see famous historical documents, including one signed by President Thomas Jefferson himself.
