The Honey Island Swamp Tour is full of variety. Beyond just a swamp, it’s one of the least-altered river swamps in the country. The swamp is very much in it’s original condition, almost a pristine and untouched wilderness. Nearly 70,000 acres of it is a permanently-protected wildlife area–the Nature Conservancy’s First Louisiana Nature Preserve. People from all over the world come to explore this wildlife sanctuary.

Amazing time on the bayou with Jessie

Jessie brought me and my friend on a great tour of Bayou St John. He gave a thorough tour both on a historical and environmental aspect. Exploring the bayou was great. His speeches were very enjoyable and questions well received.

MUST DO!!!

Jesse is full of great knowledge about Bayou St. John. He takes you on relaxing, easy paddle, stopping at several spots to enjoy the wonderful historical houses or giant live oaks. We saw lots of turtles and herons. I highly recommend this tour for any one taking a visit to New Orleans.

Wind your way down the Bayou

We had a fantastic time on our tour with Jesse. Bayou St. John offers beautiful views of Mid-city and lots of cypress and live oak trees. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and how the bayou contributed to the economic birth of New Orleans.

Awesome and informative!

This was a really great tour of a place I had no idea existed or was so essential to the development of New Orleans! It's a generally easy kayak experience, and two of our group had never kayaked before, so it's definitely open to all skill levels.

Fun and relaxing

Jesse was a great tour guide with interesting facts about NOLA to share. And of course, kayaking and being on the water was great. Not too strenuous, beautiful day, and a unique way to see the city.
