Best gift to myself EVER! From the moment I called, I was embraced by personable people who are quick to smile and edify.
It was easy to book by phone.
Google got me there with no problems.
Plenty of parking, and I didn't worry about the safety of my car and all its contents while I was off on the 2:00 tour.
I was greeted promptly by an amicable woman who causes one to feel like an instant friend. It's cash only, so bring enough to also tip your tour captain.
There are clean bathrooms that you might want to use before your two hour tour.
We walked down pier and boarded the boat. I had Captain Chris.
I sat at the bow of the boat and loved the wind and water spray as we got some speed going to our destination.
The tour was absolutely magical and educational.
As we slowed to enter the swamp, the air changes. It is filled with a serene calm and clean scents. It seemed surreal as flora and fauna emerged on cue to the rhythm of Captain Chris's voice. His knowledge, reverence, and love for the area shone through.
The two hours went by fast as we saw SO many things (some pics attached). I could have sat there forever...

Our tour guide Captain Kyle was super awesome! Very knowledgeable about the area, funny, and took his time to show us around and share information about honey island swamp. We saw so much wildlife and had the best time! We will definitely be visiting again. 10/10
Excellent experience. Our Capt. was absolutely wonderful. I can't remember his name but it was very uncommon. He was very funny and informative and very personable.
There isn't a bad seat on the boat. Everyone gets an up close view. Def worth the price and will be doing it again.
No mosquitoes, that's a big plus.
Thank you Honey Island Swamp Tours.

Our tour guide Captain Hunter on July 12th made our trip unforgettable. He was knowledgeable about the area and overall fun to be with. This tour tour was one of the best parts of our week vacation to New Orleans. We saw lots of gators and other wildlife. Although many people are saying cash only we booked online with a card, and it included transportation to and from our hotel on Canal Street.
We really enjoyed our trip! Forgot our tour guides name, but, he was awesome! He saw a leech for the first time! We saw a lot of gators and a few raccoons.. we had a blast and will tell everyone to go here above anywhere else!
Our tour guide on the Honey Island Swamp Tour was very informative, entertaining and upbeat. He made this tour a combination of excitement and instruction. He knew almost every plant, tree, animal and bird that lived along the Old Pearl River. He wove stories that combined the history of the area with the places we were passing. We got up close to a lot of animals that those of us who are not from Louisiana don't get to see very often outside of a zoo. He stopped the boat whenever anyone wanted to get a photo. The boats are small so everyone gets a very close and personal look at the animals and birds we pass. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Everyone that visits New Orleans should take this tour.
CASH ONLY!!! Two hour tour and our tour guide Chris was very entertaining. We were not bored at all, alligators came right up to the boat! We saw blue herons, turtles, egrets, a snake, an owl, and raccoons also. Well worth the price! The gift shop is small but has a decent amount of variety and reasonably priced.
It was a chilly morning but my wife and her folks had a wonderful tour. A bald eagle, herons, raccoons, and even a gator (with the coolness of the morning it wasn't ideal conditions for alligator viewing). Our guide was very knowledgeable who went out of his way to describe the plant life, animals, and local history. I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour again.
