I took this tour with my eleven year old grandson and our experience was one of the most memorable in years. Kim Voorhies shared the wealth of his knowledge of the Atchafalaya and his passion for the area was infectious. This is no packaged ride in the swamp on a party boat with a public address system to see hand... More

Such an awesome experience! After many years of living about 35 minutes away we decided to go on this swamp tour. The smaller boats used on this tour allowed us to get deep in the woods. Mr. Voorhies and his son Kim were very knowledgeable about the basin and they kept us safe at all times. The peacefulness and beauty... More

This boat experience taught me how important it is to protect this area.Beautiful and natural area of Louisiana.I saw birds and alliagators.Our tour guide explained why the basin is so important and what life was like for those that lived on the Atchafalaya.

Drove down from working in Houston just to do this swamp tour - and it was well worth it. Three generations of guides in three small but stable boats: Kim is a real ambassador for the area - knowledgable and thought-provoking. Coerte, 83 years old but seeming 20 years younger, added his wisdom to the mix: it made for a... More

Absolutely the best swamp tour I've ever been on. Coerte was an extremely knowledgeable host, and very committed to sharing his love of this superb wetland area. The excursion was not as fast-paced as an airboat version, which allowed us to actually feel part of the nature around us. I have been on many 'tours' in various locales, but considered... More

I loved this swamp tour! It was personal, and the guides try and do everything they can to give you the best experience! Call and ask them what time of year is best to come. You will obtain the most amazing photo opportunities. Think about what you want most, best time of day for lighting for your pictures, such as... More

Excellent way to spend a half day. An informative boat tour of the atchafalaya basin area. You meet about 15 miles from lafayette at the welcome center on I 10. It is a wonderful 3 generation trip that is vey informative and very beautiful. Wildlife and birds abound as we learned all about the area, watch ospreys and handled bay... More

If you've the time to travel to Cajun Country (approximately 2-3 hours southwest of New Orleans), make the trip. My wife and I have travelled the world and have immersed ourselves in countless backcountry settings and venues however, we have never experienced something like this. Three generations of knowledgable naturalists operate a service that teaches us to better understand the... More

We took a tour of the Atchafalaya with the Atchafalaya Experience last year and liked it enough that we went on a dawn tour of a major rookery with them this year. It was great! We met them at the unholy time of 5 am to drive to the distant rookery for dawn. (It was great in spite of the... More
