Honey Island Swamp Private Tour with Transport from New Orleans

Begin your private tour with convenient pickup at your hotel in New Orleans, where you board a comfortable tour vehicle for the drive to Slidell's West Pearl River. 

Once there, board a 14-passenger, flat-bottom boat, equipped with an ample sun shade. Take a guided tour of Honey Island Swamp, nearly 70,000 acres (28,327 hectares) of protected wildlife preserve. Your wetland ecologist guide points out all of the native flora and fauna in what is considered one of America's wildest swamps. You can expect to lay eyes on animals such as nutria, alligators, feral hogs, totters, bald eagles, and osprey. 

Pass through a Cajun fishing village, where locals catch crawfish, buffalo fish, alligator gar, and other native species. 

This private tour ensures undivided attention from your guide and a flexible timetable; you can focus on areas of interest and spend as much or as little time as you like in different spots. 

At the conclusion of your tour, transfer back to New Orleans for drop-off.

Venture into the heart of Honey Island Swamp, considered one of the wildest swamps in America. This 2-hour privately narrated nature tour with a professional wetland ecologist takes you aboard a shaded flat-bottom boat, custom-built to accommodate up to 14 passengers.
