Our Swamp tours are not at all impacted by the oil spill because we stay inland and go around swamp and marsh areas close to the town of Boutte, in Cajun Country, close to the very north end of Barataria Bay.
Most estimates are the closest oil sheen is about 15 to 20 miles away from there...We do believe conditions there should remain the same for the foreseeable future. Please help out our boat captains and Drivers, DO come and have fun on our Swamp Tours !!!
