  • Dr. Wagner's Honey Island Swamp Tours, Slidell, Louisiana, United States
    Start your tour with private hotel pickup in the French Quarter or downtown New Orleans. Your driver provides insightful commentary on the city and shares firsthand experiences of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath during the 45- to 60-minute drive to the West Pearl River in Slidell. Upon arrival, hop aboard the 14-passenger US Coast Guard–approved vessel, which provides plenty of shade from the Louisiana sun. You and your party will embark on an interactive 2-hour boat tour of Honey Island Swamp, which boasts nearly 70,000 acres (28,327 hectares) of protected wildlife preserve. This private tour for family and friends allows you to spend as much time in one area as your group desires. See the lovely sight of moss hanging from the gnarled cypress trees and take in the sweet smell of wild azaleas. Listen to your captain’s swamp tales of pirates, Bigfoot sightings and prehistoric creatures, and keep your eyes peeled for alligators, herons, egrets, deer, feral hogs, nutria, raccoons, otters, turtles and frogs along the riverbanks and lurking in the murky waters below. Also be on the lookout for bald eagles, owls, osprey and other water fowl soaring through the sky. Passing through a Cajun village where local fisherman reside, you may observe them catching bluegill, sunfish, largemouth bass, alligator gar, flathead catfish, freshwater drum and buffalo fish in addition to thousands of pounds of crawfish caught in these waters each season. During your journey back up river, learn more about the wetland ecology from live narration on board. Afterward, you’re transferred back to your hotel in New Orleans.

Our tour guide Captain Hunter on July 12th made our trip unforgettable. He was knowledgeable about the area and overall fun to be with. This tour tour was one of the best parts of our week vacation to New Orleans. We saw lots of gators and other wildlife. Although many people are saying cash only we booked online with a card, and it included transportation to and from our hotel on Canal Street

This was a super fun experience! This was my second time in New Orleans and my aunt recommended the specific tour (she had been on this one twice before) It is super cool that the captains interacted with the alligators they would put a marshmallow on a stick and feed it to the alligators, and sometimes lift it up in the air to she how high the alligators could go. Are captain was Captain Scott he was EXTREMELY nice he taught us lots about the wild life and different invasive species. We got to see alligators, birds, raccoons and snakes. I would definitely recommend this place and will also be coming back.
