Cajun Pride Swamp Tour

Cajun Pride Swamp Tour in LaPlace, Louisiana! Just outside New Orleans in the Manchac Swamp.

—-”For many years people have traveled extensively to locate a unique and exciting form of entertainment that you can only experience here – the famous Manchac Swamp. We invite you to join us for a unique journey back to the early days of Louisiana bayou and swamp explorations.

Swamp creatures, seeing our boats daily, recognize them as part of their normal environment. Unafraid and responsive to their boat captain’s call, they peak out from underbrush and between moss-draped trees and shrubs, frequently coming directly to the boat. In the safety and comfort of the boat, you can actually come within a few feet of jumping gators.

InBUS At The Parades!

Friday March 4th InBUS will be meeting to attend the three evening parades; Hermes, Krewe d’etat, and Morpheus.

The parades follow the uptown parade route starting on Magazine St towards St. Charles and ending after Canal Street downtown.

Our plan will be to depart from Loyola and head to the intersection of St. Charles and Napoleon. From there we will find a spot to watch the parades!

We will meet at 4:30 in the Loyola horseshoe to secure a good spot.

See you all then!
