We took a swamp tour on an airboat, via LaBiche Swamp Tours. Though more of a bayou tour, with a brief trip through a swamp.

We saw a bunch of birds, and some alligators, on a small six-passenger airboat.

We booked via Mona Lisa Lounge, a nearby dive bar, who provided a bonus pre-tour beverage, some beads, and conversation with the very drunk wife of the owner:

We then proceeded to the tour dock:

The alligators were starting brumation, so were less common, but we did see a few. Here’s our first alligator sighting:
