I chanced upon this tour when I was searching on TripAdvisor for things to do in NOLA. It was on the way home for us in Birmingham, so we called and booked a tour. Am I glad we did! What an experience! Other than the WWII museum, this was the highlight of our trip to NOLA. Brian, our tour guide,... More

We were in NOLA for Jazz Fest and had both always wanted to go on a swamp tour. So we made time to go on the first tour of the day. that means that we were beign picked up by the van at 7:30 AM after a night at Jazz Fest. Trust me - this is a sacrifice. But it... More

My husband and I took this swamp tour and really enjoyed ourselves! The Louisiana swamps seem like one of the few areas left unaltered by human hands. The areas are just beautiful! Our tour guide was not only well informed but very personable. He was very educated about the swamps and alligators, and very patient, answering all our questions. I... More

What a great tour...we really enjoyed so much about this boat ride. The tour guide was knowledgeable and a local, which really authenticated what he spoke on. The tour was beautiful as well as interesting concerning the local flora, fauna and wild life. Obviously, seeing "Big Whoppo" was great, too. There is no bad seat on the boat, but being... More

I've been to NOLA many times and have always wanted to do a swamp tour. I really enjoyed it and would do it again. The driver was very friendly and the guide was very knowledgeable. Things to know in advance: They only pick up in the French Quarter and they only accept cash. Here's a link for a coupon: http://www.neworleanscoupons.com/coupons/attractions-honeyIsland.html

For only $45 including round trip shuttle service to your hotel (with tourist information along the way) and a two hour guided water tour I'm sure there's no better deal to see the Louisiana bayou region. But I found the tour boat, with its 25 passengers, not unlike a tour bus - a bit impersonal. Important: the guide stands in... More

What a great way to spend a morning or afternoon, I highly recommend this tour. The staff were all really friendly, and the tour was great. We saw snakes, big and small, and also a couple of aligators up close - probably the main reason we went, so we were pleased. The boat captain was great, he really engaged with... More

Thought I would never say that a swamp was beautiful but it is. What a very nice experience on the water. Very educational and our guide knew it all. Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hr adventure. A couple of tips, drive yourself there if you have a car, they charge $20 each! Office staff can be a little gruff, but all... More
