Swamp boat tours are one of the most popular things to do here in Louisiana. Sure, they are popular with tourists, but I think just as many locals take these tours, too. Taking a swamp tour during the day is one thing, but experiencing the swamps at night is a whole new ball game. This sunset paddle tour in Louisiana is picture-perfect from start to finish, and it’s the perfect time of year to jump in a canoe and spend a few hours on the water. No experience necessary!
If you love Louisiana’s natural scenery in the daylight, then you’ll love this sunset swamp tour by Canoe & Trail Adventures.
They also can arrange transportation from New Orleans if you’re in town visiting. I wouldn’t recommend taking a taxi/rideshare out there, though. That can come with a hefty price tag if you’re coming from New Orleans.

The moonlight paddles are scheduled on the Saturday on or before the full moon. The sunset paddles don’t follow a lunar schedule, so you can book those more frequently.
This is when you'll start to see a whole new side of the swamps! Enjoy the symphony of sounds from all of the critters clocking in for their night shifts as you paddle back.
Visit the Canoe & Trail website to book your tour today, and be sure to follow Canoe & Trail on Facebook so you can stay up to date on upcoming tours. If you’ve taken this moonlight or sunset paddle tour in Louisiana, share your experience with us in the comments!
