My Wife wanted to book the tour. I was very skeptical because I just wanted to keep walking the french quarter. Boy was I wrong. For $50 bucks a person, they come and pick you right up at your hotel, drive you out to the bayou (really seeing Nola) and the driver was great with his knowledge and perfectly timed... more

The kids wanted to take a swamp tour to see an alligator. We got in on a morning tour so it wasnt so hot and also thinking the critters would be out still. We were not disappointed! We saw several alligators and up close too. The tour guide was very knowledgeable but was somewhat uptight. Another lady on the tour... more

The Honeyy Island Swamp Tour is worth every penny! We had the driver pick us up at our French Quarter hotel and he took us on a side trip to see some of the damage of Hurrican Katrina. Very insightful perspective from a local who had lost his own home in this disaster. The Swamp Tour itself was wonderful, our... more

We took this tour through Cajun Encounters with Captain Drew. He was a great tour guide, and brought us around at least 5 gators. We did not get to see the famous "Big Al" gator, but did get to see another one of the larger male gators. It was very hot and humid, but when Capt. Drew turned the A/C... more

Think the title says enough really. Both my partner and I found this a very enjoyable excursion. The tour is up close and personal plenty of branches over the boat sort of stuff. The guides really make it a trip to remember. Watch out for the snakes............ nah just kidding (or am I see my photos) ..... it's the wild... more

We had a fantastic tour here. I can't recall the first name but the last name of the tour guide was Cousins. Even though there were very few animals around because of the chilly weather, he gave us a fantastic tour. The tour was so interesting and educational that everyone was listening for the whole duration including my 7 and... more

I booked this tour through my hotel concierge (Week of April 13) and the van picked us up in front of our hotel. The tour was a good time. The guide was very informative regarding the wildlife and vegetation in the area. I would warn to bring bug spray. There wasn't any mosquitos however we did get eaten up by... more

This was me and my wife's first visit to NOLA and we decided to do all the "corny touristy" things that we start off saying we won't do...but we do it anyway. Let me just say, this was by far one of the coolest things I have ever done. It wasn't even that it was overboard xcitement. Part of the... more
