Atchafalaya Christmas Tour: Louisiana’s Most Unique Holiday Experience

We’ve all heard of the awesome Polar Express experiences across America, where kids don pajamas and board a festive train for photo opportunities and hot chocolate. But here in Louisiana, we do Christmas a little differently.

Why ride a train when you can share a swamp boat with Santa Claus?

Experience the Joie de Vivre with Papa Noël

Is there anything more uniquely Cajun than Papa Noël (our version of Santa) captaining a swamp tour? McGee's, famous for its world-class airboat and swamp tours year-round, switches its operations in the best of ways come Christmas time to celebrate our unique Joie de Vivre (Joy of Life).

For the fifth consecutive year, Papa Noël is heading back to the Atchafalaya Basin to host these one-of-a-kind Christmas-themed tours!

The Cajun Christmas Swamp Adventure

Papa Noël himself leads these unique Cajun Christmas Swamp Tours. During the immersive 60-minute swamp tour, Papa Noël guides guests through the unique cypress groves and watery environment of the Atchafalaya Basin, all while sharing the classic tale of "The Cajun Night Before Christmas." It’s a magical way to introduce your family to Louisiana's swamp heritage, all wrapped up in holiday cheer.

The Fun Doesn't Stop at the Dock

The Joie de Vivre doesn't end once the boat docks. After each swamp tour, your ticket includes a full post-tour celebration! Get ready for:

• Family Photos with Papa Noël (aka Santa Claus)
• Swamp-Themed Ornament Decorating
• Complimentary Hot Chocolate, Cookies, and Candy Canes

All of these festive activities are included in the price of your tour, making it the most unique Christmas experience in Louisiana. If you want to trade the snow for Spanish moss and the sleigh for a swamp boat, this is the epic Cajun Christmas adventure you need to take your crew on this season.
