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.

Fun fact: Honey Island earned its moniker because of the abundance of honeybees that once called the area home.

Departing from Crawford Landing on the West Pearl River in Slidell, tours are offered daily.

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.

The smaller boats give you even greater access to secret backwater areas.

Nature lovers will have a blast being immersed in this stunning scenery.

The angelic Spanish moss draped over cypress trees, the symphony of sounds that emerge from the depths of the swamps… it’s purely magical.

If you’re lucky, you’ll spot all sorts of wildlife.

Gators are a popular sighting (especially in the warmer months), but the swamp is home to countless critters including raccoons, feral hogs, beavers, and bald eagles.

Knowledgeable tour guides will even feed some of the wildlife, so you can get a better view of these beauties.

It's pretty incredible how high they can jump.

You never know what wildlife you'll see during your tour!

There's nothing like spending a day on the water, and the folks at Dr. Wagner's always ensure a memorable experience.

When the views are this mesmerizing, you may find it hard to leave!
