Om den här aktiviteten

Från New Orleans åker du en kort sträcka till Slidell där du kommer fram till Lake Pontchartrain och Honey Island-träsket, ett naturreservat som är en av de sista skyddade våtmarkerna i Louisiana.

Din guide välkomnar dig ombord på en specialtillverkad flatbottnad båt för 22 passagerare. Den mindre, tysta båten kommer igenom de smala kanalerna i träskets lövverk så att du ser mer och kommer närmare de vilda djuren. Det är det perfekta sättet att uppleva den frodiga miljön i cajun-området.

Medan guiden berättar historien om Louisianas våtmarker och träskets ekosystem kan du hålla utkik efter inhemska djur, bland annat alligatorer, tvättbjörnar, ugglor, vildsvin, sumpbäver, ormar, sköldpaddor, svartbjörnar, vithövdad havsörn och många andra fågelarter. Få en närmare titt på vilda alligatorer medan guiden berättar fakta om de mångtandade bestarna som kan väga upp till 453 kg. Deras förfäder härskade en gång på jorden tillsammans med dinosaurierna och forskare beräknar att de har funnits i mer än 150 miljoner år.

Glid fram på ett säkert sätt genom de bördiga sumpmarkerna, lär dig av guiden om cajun-kulturen och hur lokalbefolkningen har nyttjat träsket för mat, bostäder och medicin. Du får även se en autentisk cajun-by som endast kan nås med båt. Få en förståelse av varför våtmarkerna sakta försvinner och om arbete för att bevara Louisianas naturskatter.

Efter en fascinerande båttur på två timmar i Honey Island-träsket återvänder guiden till stranden. Du kan sedan ta dig till nästa destination på egen hand.

The tour was fantastic. It mixed between fast and slow speed. The boat captain is knowledgeable and fun. Maybe we were not that lucky. We encountered only small alligators. However, we could learn so much about swamp life during the tour. Children are required to wear life vests and this could be very hot due to high humidity. It will be better if the boat equips a few ring buoys.

Captain Emmett was funny and knowledgeable. During the tour, we encountered not only alligators but also raccoons and pigs. We learned a lot about ecosystems at the swamp.

Never a dull moment! Ask about Oreo, the swamp pig. Stumpy too! Jacob, our guide was very knowledgeable, insightful, and he made the tour extremely interesting. I heard and learned so much about not just the swamp, but the wetlands areas of Louisiana from Jacob! He and the other tour guides on the other boats talked and teased each other was the boats past each other indicating these guys really like their job and sharing their swamp habitat knowledge. Very insightful and picturesque tour! Wild life in abundance! I took excellent photos!

Other than they did not start on time and we had to wait for other people that were 15 mins late the tour was good. The guide provided us with the ability to see many different creatures and vegetation in the swamp. It is good of them to help keep the gator with the broken jaw alive by keeping him fed. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered every question our group asked.

Capt Ron was fun and informative. Highly recommend this tour. The alligators were not out during our visit but Capt Ron made it very captivating with the boars, raccoons and snakes. Also shared the legacy of the old alligator, Brunist.
