Tips from the community
You may have heard of Louisiana’s Bayou Country - the low-lying, swampy areas of the state, home to alligators, turtles, birds and other wildlife. Wanna get up, close and personal with the gators? Experience it all on a swamp tour in Houma, just an hour away from New Orleans, and then head to the Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum to learn more about the stories behind this unique city.
