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.

Great tour! Skip the Souvenirs

5.00Cajun Encounters was great. Our bus driver, Brian, was super and even waited for me when I got stuck in line at the register! Captain Steve took us to see all the amazing creatures. We saw gators, wild hogs, turtles, birds, raccoons, and more. The bayou is spectacular and everyone was informative and helpful. My only complaint is that if you want to buy a souvenir while the next tour is coming inside to check in, you will wait in line FOREVER!! They desperately need an outdoor station to check in for tours and reserve the store for purchasing.
A must do experience in New Orleans!

5.00The swamp tour was super fun! Captain Tony was knowledgeable, friendly and a great captain! We saw numerous alligators and lots of wildlife. There were quite a few other boats so we had to move around and accommodate them but it did not take away from the tour. We were lucky as the weather was perfect for our trip.
