While cruising in the comfortable, canopied (and all-weather) Alligator Queen, you will hear about wetlands ecology, wildlife, the exiled Cajuns and the rich cultural legacy of the Spanish Lake Basin.

You'll be inspired by the beauty of giant old-growth cypress trees. See a green, moss-draped alligator swamp, a 700-year-old cypress tree with five-foot-tall knees, and the spectacular Cypress Flats, a lake of old-growth cypress trees teeming with egrets, herons, ibis, cormorants and hundreds of bird species migrating along the Mississippi River Flyway.

You'll see lots of 'gators at Alligator Bayou, gliding through swamps, sunning on logs and on display in our brand-new eco-habitat, an exotic and visitor-friendly 'gator farm.
