Items To Carry For A Louisiana Alligator Tour

By Kathleen Watson


If you would like to take a swamp trip, you must know everything that you will need during the journey. These trips can be so exciting as long as you are in an adventurous spirit. You can paddle your way through the swamp or use an airboat. There are so many creepy creatures you will see on the water, gaters included. Also, there will be many birds and insects. If you need a captain or professional guide, ensure you have made the request in advance. Also, you should remember to carry the following items during the Louisiana Alligator Tour.

You should make sure that you have light clothing. Usually, tour attire should be casual. However, you should check the weather before you pack. In case the weather is cool, you may feel cold when you become wet. On the other hand, if the weather is sunny, heavy clothing will be a burden. Hence, you should determine the weather before you pack.

The weather can be unpredictable at times. Hence, it may be hot and sunny in the morning and rain in the afternoon. If you fear that the weather may change, make sure you carry a good raincoat. The coat should be simple but of good quality. This coat will, therefore, protect you in case it rains. You can also prevent yourself from getting wet as you paddle.

You should also carry athletic boots or water shoes. There is no one you are going to impress during the swamp tour. Thus, select comfortable water shoes, tennis shoes or sandals that will keep you comfortable. If you do not have such shoes, you may want to go shopping before you set off for the trip.

If you travel in the day time, it may get too hot. Hence, it is essential to have things that will protect you from the sun. These include sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. With these items, you will not be affected by the sun rays. More so you will have a better view of the swamp because the sunglasses will protect your eyes from being blinded.

Make sure you also buy a bug repellent as you set off for a trip to the swamp. Since the water at the swamp is usually stagnant, it becomes a breeding spot for many insects. The insects can turn your adventure to be terrible because their bites may be itchy. Hence, to protect yourself, pack a bug spray.

Even if you will buy your ticket and pack everything necessary for the tour, you should remember to carry some cash. Make sure you have the money on your pocket while navigating the swamp. This is because you may find snacks and drinks being sold on some boats. Also, you may wish to tip the captain for his excellent job.

Another item that most people forget to carry most of the times is a camera. This is a simple gadget, but it will capture and store memories. Thus, bring a good quality HD camera to capture images of the swamp and the water creatures if you see any. Also, the images will prove that you went on a swamp adventure.
