Boottocht door de moerassen en bayou bij New Orleans met vervoer

Over deze activiteit
Nadat u bent opgehaald bij uw hotel in New Orleans, maken we de korte rit via de Lake Pontchartrain-causeway naar Honey Island Swamp, één van de laatste beschermde wetlands in Louisiana.

Uw gids verwelkomt u aan boord van een speciale boot met een platte bodem voor 22 passagier. Deze kleine, stille boot is perfect voor smalle doorgangen in het moerasgebladerte, zodat u dichter bij de dieren kunt komen. Het is de ideale manier om de weelderige omgeving van Cajun Country te verkennen.

Uw gids vertelt over de geschiedenis van de wetlands en het ecosysteem van de moerassen van Louisiana. Kijk goed om u heen, want u kunt hier dieren zoals alligators, wasberen, uilen, everzwijnen, nutria's, slangen, schildpadden, zwarte beren, Amerikaanse zeearenden en nog veel meer andere vogels spotten. Bekijk alligators van dichtbij en luister naar de informatie van uw gids over deze rijkbetande beesten die zo'n 450 kg kunnen wegen. Alligators leefden al ten tijde van de dinosaurussen, en wetenschappers schatten dat ze al meer dan 150 miljoen jaar op aarde rondlopen.

U vaart veilig door de vruchtbare moerassen en komt meer te weten over Cajun-cultuur en hoe de mensen hier het moeras hebben gebruikt voor voedsel, huizen en medicijnen. U kunt zelfs een authentiek Cajun-dorp bezoeken, dat alleen bereikbaar is per boot. Uw gids legt uit waarom de wetlands geleidelijk aan verdwijnen en vertelt over de inspanningen die zijn gedaan om de natuurlijke rijkdommen van Louisiana te behouden.

Na een fascinerende, 2 uur durende boottocht door Honey Island Swamp, stappen u en uw gids weer aan wal. U kunt met de touringcar terugreizen naar uw hotel in New Orleans of op eigen gelegenheid naar uw volgende bestemming gaan, afhankelijk van de optie die u hebt gekozen bij het maken van de boeking.

Everett was a great guide, funny and engaging. He shared a lot of information about the unique ecosystem and animals and we were able to see tons of alligators and even wild pigs! It was awesome to get out of the city for a day!

The bus ride to the swamp was very informative (it’s a hour bus ride to swamp including shuttle to actual bus). The swamp tour itself was fun. We got to see alligators, spiders, some type of water snail, wild boars (one name Kevin Bacon who smiles for treats lol) and raccoons! Had a great time!!

Capt. Greg was great. He made sure we got to see everything close up. It was a nice beautiful day. The bus was waiting, so no time to enjoy the gift shop.

From start to finish, I had a great time! Kim, the bus driver, was a wonderful historian of the New Orleans area. She was entertaining and informative; I learned more from the bus ride than I might have from a formal tour - the neighborhoods, the effects of Katrina, the architecture, and more. On the return bus ride, she educated us to the best places to get good New Orleans cooking - which proved helpful later that evening. While on the bayou, Captain Emmett similarly was a spectacular guide. We were able to see all sorts of wildlife close up (gators, wild boar, birds) as well as learn about the swamp, its history and the foliage specific to it - usages, properties, identifying features. I was able to take some great pictures! I would definitely encourage anyone going to New Orleans to take advantage of this swamp tour!

This is a very well organized tour company. They picked us up on time started the tour on time it lasted exactly 2 hours and we were right back at our hotel on time. Very efficient staff. Now if your primary reason is to see alligators, then this is the tour for you. They feed the alligators from the boat so they’ve learned to swim right up to the boat for food. At the very end of the tour there are several wild hogs that almost jump into the boat to get to the food. Since I'm an avid birder, I was also interested in finding birds to photograph. Captain Tom saw a Little Blue Heron and called it a Poodoo. Then he saw a Green Heron and called it a Whistling Duck. He got a quite annoyed at me when I tried to correct him. (And Tom, don't call it a "White Egret" since there are three egret species that are white and that's not the correct name for any of them.) I'd just say that once you've seen the first 5 alligators, the next 5 don't hold as much interest. But it was indeed quite a good tour. We really liked our bus driver, Allen.

Seeing gators, birds, wild flowers, snakes, and wild pigs up close and personal is a must do even if you don't have a bucket list.

This tour was great. We were picked up for the tour at our hotel, then transferred to a bigger bus. The trip to the swamp was about 45 minutes and the driver told us about interesting facts about the areas we rode through. We crossed Lake Pontchartrain, which is huge. Upon arrival at the swamp you check in, are given an armband and a chance to buy snacks and use the restroom before the tour begins. The boat held about 20 people and we sped down the river before going into the swamp. The wind made it quite chilly as the air temp was only in the low 60s, but once we’re slowed down it wasn’t as cold. We saw wild boar, alligators, herons, egrets, turtles and raccoons. The tour guides know exactly where to go to see wildlife. The swamp itself is very beautiful and there are many photo opportunities. The tour itself was about 2 hours. Highly recommended!

Loved this tour! Our tour guide was very informative. All of the tour guides did their best to get us close to the animals. We saw several alligators, a raccoon, wild pigs, and birds. We went at the end of February so it was just starting to warm. The alligators were out soaking up the sun.
