The Route Of Jean Lafitte

This is definitely a different type of adventure than a wildlife cruise, unless you consider Cajuns wild! This trip begins or ends in New Orleans and cruises the intercoastal waterway along the Louisiana and Texas coastlines. This cruise takes you to an area that still has many of it's old customs and fishermen.

Experience Cajun cooking, Texas hospitality and Mexican fun all on one trip. Start (or end) in New Orleans with a couple of days to explore. Meet Cajun trappers and fishermen, learn about their history and culture. Cruise the beautiful inland sea waters between New Orleans and Galveston Island, Texas. Then you can take a short trip to Matamoros Mexico. This will be a relaxing but fun time.

This trip is a cruise aboard a well equipped river barge with comfortable rooms and lots of deck space. The dinner dress is casual, jackets and ties are not necessary.

Scheduled shore activities and tipping are included in your cruise.

In New Orleans you can see the French Quarter the night before departing. Then you will receive a tour of Bay Wallace, one of the biggest swamps in Louisiana. This is a nature and scenic trip you will not forget.

After departing from New Orleans and Louisiana you will go to Acadiana and enjoy some cajun cooking and fun.

Then it is on to Port Arthur Texas and and Galveston Island. Your final stop as you do the Texas coast will be a trip to Nuevo Progreso, Mexico.

This is a much shorter entry than normal, but I will pick a major adventure for next week.
