Featuring almost 70,000 acres in the corner of St. Tammany Parish, the Honey Island Swamp is one of the most incredible swamps in Louisiana. One of the best ways to see this incredible swamp is from a tour by Dr. Wagner’s Honey Island Swamp Tours, which has been providing a glimpse into this beautiful swampland since 1982. They’re one of the best in the game, and a tour with these knowledgeable folks will give you a whole new respect for Louisiana’s most breathtaking natural scenery.
If you like getting out in nature, then you will love a swamp boat tour with Dr. Wagner’s Honey Island Swamp Tours.

Departing from Crawford Landing on the West Pearl River in Slidell, tours are offered daily.
Alyce B./Trip Advisor While the tours are offered year-round, it should be noted that if you’re looking for wildlife, especially alligators, a tour during the warmer months is recommended as these beasts tend to shy away in the colder months.
Featuring both covered and uncovered boats, these swamp boats allow access to areas of the swamps you’d never be able to see otherwise.
