Lake Pontchartrain
After pickup in central New Orleans, it's a short drive across Lake Pontchartrain to Honey Island Swamp, a wildlife preserve that is one of the last protected wetlands in Louisiana.
Your guide welcomes you aboard a custom-made 22-passenger flat-bottom boat. The smaller sized, quiet boat can fit through narrow passages in the swamp foliage so that you see more and get closer to wildlife. As your guide explains the history of Louisiana’s wetlands and swamp ecosystem, be on the lookout for alligators, raccoons, owls, wild boar, nutria, snakes, turtles, black bears, bald eagles and other bird species. Get a close look at some wild gators as your guide shares facts about the toothy beasts, who can weigh up to 1,000 pounds (453 kg). Glide safely through the fertile swamplands, learning about Cajun culture and how local people have utilized the swamp for food, homes, and medicine. You even see an authentic Cajun village that is only accessible by boat. Gain an understanding of why the wetlands are slowly disappearing and about the efforts being made to preserve Louisiana's natural treasures. After a fascinating 2-hour boat tour, your guide returns you to shore.

Captain Steve was great - he was really interesting and showed us so much of the wildlife and swamp - we really enjoyed it. Only disappointing thing was waiting round for Brian to come back and get us. Waited nearly 20 minutes.

Brian the bus driver was excellent. The boat driver was wonderful and found us some gators but was hard to hear.

We went on two tours - swamp and plantation. The VIP Adults Only Swamp tour was great! The bus ride was smooth and informative. The boat ride was fantastic! We saw an alligator, which was our main objective, plus birds and nutria. Captain Emmett was a lot of fun! We would go again!

It was a very cold day, so we only saw one gator, but we saw lots of other wildlife! Tony was great and made the experience fun and interesting.

I would like to share this horrible, unforgettable experience so called “swamp tour”. Everything has gone in this season, and nobody tell you until you get on the boat.. there were three alligators we saw in total and all of them appeared on the wall by the spectacular master painting.( like this🐊)The wall belongs to the house of indigenous residents in swamp, which we learned about the architectural history for an hour under the freezing wind, and everything appears like “frozen throne”…. The tour guide was talented and made the whole trip became the lecture tour by teaching us the extremely sophisticated terminologies, which we were being taught with our own imagination instead of seeing any of them…. The biggest gain of the tour was the black cat we saw by the check in spot. We call it big black, who made me still feel alive……
