3 Best Day Trips from New Orleans
"This company has been successfully running some of the region’s best tours of this pristine swampland since 1982. The swamp isn’t too far from some urban centers, but it feels undeniably rural, and outside of the company facility there’s no real sign of modern life. The wildlife was the main event, with small alligators, feral boars, raccoons, water snakes, and turtles. If any of that sounds intimidating, the whole outing is very safe, but your tour guide will bring a hit of bravado to the presentation, which adds some fun drama." - Paul Oswell
