2 hours (boat tour) · Cajun Encounters Tour Co

from $38per person from-price, live price on the listing

Cajun Encounters takes a flat-bottom boat into Honey Island Swamp, a protected wetland near Slidell east of New Orleans. Because the boat is quiet and slow, alligators, turtles and wading birds go about their business rather than scattering. The ride runs about two hours, and guides, many of them locals from the area, mix wildlife spotting with stories of the swamp's history. Rated 4.9 across 232 reviews, from $38 per person, with free cancellation.
