Why you should go…

Honey Island Swamp is one of the least-altered river swamps in the country, and small flat-bottom boats run daily tours through its cypress-tupelo backwaters northeast of the city. Guides point out alligators, egrets, and other wildlife while explaining the swamp's ecology and Cajun history. Tours run about two hours and can include hotel pickup from New Orleans or self-drive to the Slidell launch.
