Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Lake Pontchartrain, New Orleans, LA

Your private tour begins with pickup from your New Orleans hotel, and includes a narrated scenic tour as you drive along Lake Pontchartrain and the countryside to the swamp.

Stop At: Dr. Wagner's Honey Island Swamp Tours, Slidell, LA

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.

Duration: 4 hours

    We took this tour and our guide Captain Hunter was fun and informative. He was able to spot lots of the wildlife and had significant knowledge of the fauna and flora in the area. We had a great time and would definitely return.

    We were lucky to be able to book a private tour and it was the most incredible, personalized tour I have had. We wanted to enjoy the swamp ecosystem, but the kids wants to see animals, including alligators! This tour did not disappoint. We had a blast, learned a lot and all felt that it was the best tour we have ever taken. So worth the money and the time. Especially appreciated the pick up by Gene who was so knowledgeable about the area (lived in New Orleans 77 years) that before the official tour even started I felt like I had another tour of the City proper. Matt was our captain and he was knowledgeable and worked very hard to make sure that we saw what we wanted to see... it was truly the highlight of our vacation. I can't say enough. Worth the price and guaranteed to be a blast for all.

    We loved this tour. Steve was full of information about the wildlife and plants. Something that we had never done before and definitely was worth the private tour. Five stars for this we had a fantastic time.
