Da sapere su questa attività

Da New Orleans, fai un breve viaggio in auto a Slidell e raggiungi il lago Pontchartrain e la palude di Honey Island, una riserva naturale che è una delle ultime zone umide protette della Louisiana.

La guida ti accoglierà a bordo di una chiatta realizzata su misura per 22 persone. La piccola e silenziosa barca può entrare in stretti passaggi nella vegetazione della palude, in modo che tu possa osservare e avvicinarti alla fauna selvatica. È il modo ideale per ammirare l'ambiente lussureggiante della regione Cajun.

Mentre la guida ti spiega la storia delle paludi e dell'ecosistema della Louisiana, stai all'erta per non perdere la fauna locale, tra cui alligatori, procioni, civette, cinghiali, nutrie, serpenti, tartarughe, orsi neri, aquile calve e molte altre specie di volatili. Osserva più da vicino alcuni alligatori selvatici, mentre la guida ti fornirà alcune informazioni su questi animali dai denti aguzzi, che possono pesare fino a 453 kg. I loro antenati una volta abitavano la terra con i dinosauri e gli scienziati stimano che esistano da più di 150 milioni di anni.

Scivola in modo sicuro attraverso le fertili paludi, impara a conoscere la cultura Cajun e come gli abitanti locali abbiano utilizzato la palude per il cibo, le case e la medicina dalla guida. Vedrai anche un autentico villaggio Cajun, accessibile solo in barca. Scopri perché le paludi stanno lentamente scomparendo e degli sforzi compiuti per preservare i tesori naturali della Louisiana.

Dopo un affascinante tour in barca di 2 ore nella palude di Honey Island, la guida ti riporterà a riva. Puoi quindi raggiungere la tua prossima destinazione autonomamente.

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.
