Will I see alligators year-round? Will I be safe? What about mosquitos? Thousands of people visit Alligator Bayou each year, and many of them are kind enough to send thank-you letters. Here are a few of our favorites.

Inside Le Nid De Canard

Stop by and shop for awhile. Located in the Alligator Bayou Bait Shop (and complete with snake and gator exhibits), the Duck's Nest Shoppe features unique, one-of-a-kind gifts made by Louisiana craftspeople.

Here, you'll find a wide assortment of traditional handmade dolls (from nuns and Cajun farmers to "flip-flop" dolls), and exquisitely carved cypress ducks, miniature pirogues and vases, walking sticks and letter openers.

Visitors and locals enjoy our lawn 'gator planters (wire and stone), specially designed jewelry, turtle purses, birdhouses and, of course, Louisiana alligator heads (all sizes), t-shirts, hats, men's ties, photographs, art prints, books and Cajun and zydeco CDs.

You'll also find fun souvenirs for kids, including toy swamp critters and stuffed animals.

When you can, stop by to relax with a cold drink and browse our postcards and collectible magnets and keychains. We're good company, and so are our talkative exotic birds!
Alligator Bayou winds into the 13,000-acre Spanish Lake Basin and a wetland habitat of bayous, swamps and lakes. This unique tour will take you deep into the heart of Louisiana swamps.

Our bayou-side pavilion is the perfect place for your "fais do do." Let us design a unique and unforgettable wedding, banquet or party, with or without a swamp tour.
Louisiana's most historic wetlands habitat is the perfect place to learn about and celebrate history, biology and swamp ecology.
Located in Louisiana's Plantation Country, the Spanish Lake Basin is bordered by Bayou Manchac, an Indian short-cut from the Mississippi River to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico.
In 1993, the co-owners of Alligator Bayou Tours learned that hundreds of acres of bottomland hardwoods in the Spanish Lake Basin would be cut for lumber. This valuable habitat was saved by Frank Bonifay, Jim Ragland and community members working in cooperation with local, state and federal government.
