Zander was very nice & informative. We saw plenty of alligators, wild hogs, & raccoons. I really enjoyed myself and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing wildlife on a swamp tour. I liked that the boats are covered so you’re not baking in sun the entire ride.

The Honey Island Swamp (French: Marais de l’Île-de-Miel) is a marshland located in the eastern portion of the U.S. state of Louisiana in St. Tammany Parish. Honey Island earned its name because of the honeybees once seen on a nearby isle. The swamp is bordered on the north by U.S. 11, on the south by Lake Borgne, on the east by the Pearl River and the west by the West Pearl River. It is one of the least-altered river swamps in the United States. Considered by many to be one of the most pristine swampland habitats in the United States, the Honey Island Swamp covers an area that is over 20 miles (30 km) long and nearly 7 miles (10 km) across, with 34,896 of its 70,000 acres (280 km²) government sanctioned as permanently protected wildlife area. Animals that live in the Honey Island Swamp include alligators , raccoons, owls, wild boars , nutria, snakes, turtles, bald eagles and black bears.
