Alligator Swamp Tour in Louisiana (HD)

We went on a very cool swamp tour by Cajun Pride in LaPlace Louisiana in August, and saw a ton of alligators. The guide would throw marshmallows to get the alligators to come closer to eat them.
Booking link for 2023 (includes Oak Alley Plantation tour): www.viator.com...
The tour guide contends that alligators are no where near the most dangerous thing in the Louisiana swamp. Instead he says a tall grass called cut-weed/cut-grass/saw-grass is the most dangerous thing in the area. He then goes on to say that the Disneyland Resort Alligator attack was not the Alligator's fault but instead the fault of humans involved.
There were raccoons as well, who were skittish in getting too close to the water because of alligators.
Later we even passed a creepy graveyard that contained the victims from a hurricane that struck and wiped out an entire town in 1915.
Everyone even got to hold a baby alligator and take photos with it.
I highly recommend this tour- very educational as well for the kids!

Which would you rather do on this tour- feed a big gator or hold a baby gator?

[@robertmoore1123]

Both

[@jjdelmiino129]

I said an alligator attack at Disneyland it was actually at Disney world

[@kevinterry688]

Big

[@bludeuce3855]

id rather hold a baby gator

[@offgridselfteliant]

Cooked and served thank you!

[@randomcommenter1433]

If I remember correctly, Louisiana currently has the biggest population of American alligators with over 2 million individuals. It almost makes me want to forget that in the 1970s, they would've been erased from existence if it weren't for conservation efforts.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thanks for that info- it's good to hear that the conservations efforts in this case have paid off!

[@evilknight9811]

My grade went here for a field trip it was really fun but we could not find shrek or his donkey

[@niltonsantos6468]

pow fosse meno grande quem acha que e grande não deixa o like que acha que pequeno deixa o like kkkk

[@color_me_]

7:00-8:10 ~ it leaves a pretty trail, swimming with its tail through the leafy mass.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah these alligators are amazing- able to glide through the water very quietly

[@Trainboy452]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP!?

[@brahamnarayansingh3568]

Imagine if we fall in that green deep water.. 😊😊 scary

[@TravelTouristVideos]

That would be scary- I think the gators would be startled as well!

[@selkarogers7662]

Hopefully these Gators don't develop diabetes from all those marshmallows! All joking aside this is a phenomenal tour, those are some seriously alligator infested waters. I would love to experience this one day. Thank you to the local guides for allowing for these experiences to happen and sharing their knowledge. Louisiana bayous are so mysterious, beautiful and off limits that outsiders would never be able to experience this without the locals offering these tours. And to all the negative Nancy's in the comments, no one's forcing you to go on a swamp tour, don't judge people that want to do this and no they are not putting children in danger. People go skydiving and scuba diving which is far more dangerous than what these guides are doing. The people that call these bayous home have my utmost respect and their Cajun culture, language, swamp lands are an absolute treasure of America that I hope to experience one day. - Love from Canada

[@TravelTouristVideos]

The guides are awesome, making the tour entertaining and educational. Agree 100% about the amazing bayou as well. Thanks for your comment!

[@lcmonadex1340]

I just realized there are no alligators in Alaska so I'm going to live there

[@marie-christinejeannotte682]

Thank you soo much for posting ! I am gonna visit soon and this is on my list .

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- have a fantastic time! 🙂

[@raynalefevre2226]

they also live in florida, where they often go on golf courses. And the Amazon along side caimons and gharials their crocodilian cousins. And you can tell the difference between crocodiles and alligators by their snouts.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thanks for the info!

[@tl-g-huy]

wrong, some crocodiles still have snout like alligator and vice versa, you can tell the different by looking at the teeth

[@tl-g-huy]

crocodille have upper and lower teeth visible while alligator only have upper teeth visible

[@rbcapbustditto]

The sacrificing tour guide with the bandaged finger rotfl 😁

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah he said they never tried to bite him on purpose, but accidents happen I suppose!

[@karenhodges4933]

Gators: oh, a boat full of meat! Dinnertime - gobble gobble. Just a few underwater rolls,one big gulp. Sounds like a fulfilling meal today!!lmao

[@humangirl2122]

Don't give those Alligator's Marshmello's.Give them chicken.

[@SubwayTutorials]

Seen a few of yours videos, I'm 20, been a childhood dream to visit the USA, and just going to book a Trek America around Utah/Az/CA and Nv for a month. I'm going to fly to another state before I leave for a few days, New Orleans looks perfect, historic and everyone seems so patriotic, would you recommend coming here or somewhere else near by in the US?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

New Orleans was great- for sure so much history and culture, plus food with the famous eateries. I would certainly recommend it! The swamp tour was actually near Baton Rouge, which is not too far from New Orleans.

[@redruby2223]

18:50 so country 🤣

[@kaucionpier8291]

LMAO

[@peytonmcmullin1537]

I went on here and i got to hold a alligator

[@tinderbox218]

Jennifer Brown hey, how much did it cost?

[@ibjbro]

@@joycebuckley6340 We were with a school tour, so I dont know for sure.

[@joycebuckley6340]

Jennifer Brown ok, thank you.

[@color_me_]

did the tour guide say the leafy mass is invasive???

[@color_me_]

22:00 ~ what was he saying about ``voodoo people from the cities"?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

I think he was saying voodoo belief is more common in the city vs the swamp areas

[@BKDBrian2]

It's just like Princess and the Frog all over again.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

LOL thanks for watching!

[@SuperMonaLisaBros]

With less guns, though.

[@rickiefowler7192]

Didn’t Happy take his head?

[@tureisprojetosplotagens9444]

Muito lindo...sonho um dia poder visitar um lugar como este..

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Espero que você consiga no futuro!

[@thefountain6634]

Feeding them marshmallows 🤦 Seems the tour needs a 101 educational course

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah I was surprised to see that too- didn't think marshmallows would be be good for the gators. I guess the marshmallows were cheap, light and very little vs their body weight.

[@catherineanderson7064]

Marshmallows look like eggs, something gators do eat. So no, not the best idea.

[@marcossanchez-oq5ep]

Speedy Gonzalez they feed them marshmallows because alligator only see black and white so a marshmallow is really bright to them and they go after it. besides what dose a little marshmallow do to them alligator have a strong stomach acid they eat turtle shells and other hard things that are difficult to eat

[@fritzhartmannhandykanal]

Saint Denis Red dead Redemption Arthur dies because of Alligator

[@itsboombabyy]

Kids smart, they only co exist in the Everglades.

[@paranoidpothead5748]

Hahah little baby Gators lmao over here in Texas we got fucking 12-14 foot ones still cool creatures

[@moneymanhussein8445]

Lol i went here for a field trip in elementary school it was amazing

[@gogobadr27]

You should feed the crocodiles to the chickens not the chickens to the crocodiles. Poor chickens😢

[@morrisrider7730]

Idiots fed sharks in the dive resorts around the Red Sea. The Sharks started trying to eat divers and indeed killed several. Good luck with those crocodiles and alligators...

[@TravelTouristVideos]

These are certain animals that can be dangerous. We felt very safe on the tour boat, however.

[@lordkobra1511]

Swamp is the place i hate the most

[@jedicomedy]

Why

[@southernwaysdesign7744]

@@jedicomedy scares the he LL out of me , it is creepy nasty smelling waters and I would never trust any animal from the wild, number I could never be behind the wheel of that boat and out of the wild something would happen to any passengers I would always feel responsible and could not ever forgive my self for any danger to any one , next just seeing the little raccoons begging for food breaks my heart into and then always on my mind now does the 🐊 gators ever eat the raccoons ?? Things like this places a burden on my heart and the love I have for animals seeing this tour gives me the creeps makes my skin crawl, makes my stomach turn just to think I could be the cause of a injury of the spectator !! You could never pay me enough money to have that responsibility on my heart and shoulder never not worth it !!!! Always keep in your mind to not ever trust the wild life period and as much as I love my pets, the make my world turn that’s how much I love them like they my child BUT I never trust my animals and I never say no my animal don’t bite you never ever know what is their next thought? So Happy trailing to you all that enjoys and love’s this type of entertainment but it’s not for me !!! Be safe everyone out in the wild !!! You Never Know!!!

[@southernwaysdesign7744]

100 % agree with you , you have a mind , Not Lost Your Mind !!!

[@emmawoods8479]

What will happen if someone is falling in there?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

The guide was telling us that the gators are not as dangerous as they seem, but yeah it'd be pretty scary to fall into the water.

[@antoine4213]

those animals don't attack like in movie, in fact you can even caress them, but Nile crocodile is dangerous and you better not be close to one

[@rojome3831]

I thought the animal itself was called nutria. 🤔

[@ahbsjhbibwywbyiw4288]

I've went there for a field trip

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Hope you had fun- that was a very cool experience for us. It was amazing to be in the swamp like that with all the animals, plus of course the gators all around. Thanks for watching!

[@thomasmcguffie5127]

I live there

[@lilukie]

Thats dope

[@TravelTouristVideos]

For sure- it's pretty crazy seeing those alligators up close. Thanks for watching & commenting!

[@binong25]

Its just interesting that the one that are very interested to gators are asians :))

[@zarny3632]

[@Victor-ko1xt]

not a smart idea to have the seats be metal in a hot area

Slap the water with the chicken it'll micmick an animal in distress or take a stick to hit the water ..... Here they come lol

[@tasken_lander_redux4775]

Is there a minimum boat occupancy for a tour / boat ride?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

I'm pretty sure there is. I think there were about 25 people at least on our boat.

[@arytorres5323]

Ill die if I see one

[@TravelTouristVideos]

They are pretty scary looking for sure!

@Wanda Alexander me too

[@offgridselfteliant]

I understand the need for some type of income, I really do. But this, just isn't right! I see nothing good in the future of this enterprise. You scream, I scream, police are called, it's awkward. Ya know, I wonder if the court will recognize them as wild animals, or a trained pet? Ya know, that future law suit waiting to happen! Some creatures are just not designed to be pets! " I'm sorry sir! but alligators are not allowed on the plane! " Hey, it's my support animal, and it's on a leash okay!

[@southernwaysdesign7744]

I see someone has definitely not lost their mind I absolutely agree with you this is so really insane and I would never put my liability out their jeopardizing someone’s life for my income !! Better way to make a living than to say hop on your jail bait any moment?? Your on your own taking a trip like this putting your child in danger ? So anyone owing this type of revenue needs their head examined!!! Anyone planning a trip like this plzz don’t put your flesh and blood in danger stop and rethink a trail ride like this!!! If you think it’s safe you need your head examined!! I desperately love my love ones more than this trip !!
