Adventure

Airboat Tours Speed under Spanish-moss-draped trees, venture into the cypress swamp, and cruise on grassy marshland. Ask to "ride on the wild side" and be prepared to jet down the bayou. Scope out alligators and leggy great blue herons; listen over the roar of the boat as your guide recalls his experiences as an alligator and crab fisherman. 4262 Highway 90 East, Des Allemands, LA; + 1 985 758 5531.
