swamp tours
Wetland boat rides
Swamp tours are guided excursions through swampland, typically by boat, offering views of wildlife and wetland ecosystems.
Most associated with the bayous of Louisiana, where airboats carry tourists past alligators, herons, and cypress trees draped in Spanish moss: We took a swamp tour outside New Orleans.
