How Far Are Swamp Tours From New Orleans?
Most swamp tours are located about 35 to 45 minutes south or west of downtown New Orleans. If you choose hotel pickup, expect the total transit time to be closer to an hour each way as the bus picks up other passengers.
How Long Does a Swamp Tour Take?
The boat ride itself typically lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. If you add in hotel pickup and drop-off, expect the entire experience to take about 3.5 to 4 hours round-trip.
