We've been on another swamp tour near New Orleans, and an airboat ride, but the Honey Island Swamp Tour on and near the Pearl River in Slidell is our new favorite. Saw plenty of the natural bayou areas, and of course, the alligators, but also got a visit near the boat along the roots of the nearby trees by a large wild pig, and a bunch of raccoons running around chasing after the treats of marshmallows and bits of hot dogs tossed by our tour guide. Plenty of fun, very enjoyable, and informative.

We had an excellent tour with Andrew. He was very knowledgeable about the ecology of the area and we learned a lot about the creatures and plants of the swamp. We saw lots of animals (a fat alligator on a log is my new screen saver). The boat was comfortable and the scenery was gorgeous. It's a great way to see areas you could never access on foot.
