Swamp tours may be a popular tourist attraction, but have you ever taken one? There’s a reason these tours are so popular — they take you through some of the most beautiful natural scenery Louisiana has to offer. You’ll get to experience Louisiana’s wild side up close and personal while learning about the history of the land from a longtime native who knows the wetlands like the back of his (or her) hand. There’s one particular swamp boat tour in Lousiana that’s right in the heart of Cajun Country and it will take you on a water adventure like no other.
Located in St. Martin Parish right in the depths of Cajun Country, Lake Martin is a wildlife preserve and swampland that’s perhaps one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Louisiana.
More than 200 species of birds call the area home, making it one of the largest nesting areas for wading birds in the state. Keep your eyes to the skies to spot owls, woodpeckers, and ducks in addition to the many egrets, anhinga, and great blue herons.

One of the best ways to see Lake Martin is by taking a swamp boat tour with Champagne’s Cajun Swamp Tours.
No transportation from home base to the swamp here. Since you’re already on the water, you’ll go from front desk to front row seat in just a few short steps.
