Where to stay in Ninth Ward

The Cajun Encounters tour took me to the Honey Island Swamp where I saw my first up-close, wild alligator. Not just one, but a whole bunch! Not to mention the turtles and local birds that are a lot different from the birds I'm used to in the north. Our tour guide, Bishop, was fantastic. He was funny, personal, and knew his stuff. He also managed to attract not just gators but wild pigs as well. If I go back to New Orleans--no--WHEN I go back, I fully intend on going on this tour again.

Viavant

While visiting Viavant, you might make a stop by sights like Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge and King Hung Shrine.

"Prime location and classic hotel. Very nice concierge service! Housekeeping was superb! They did a wonderful job keeping our room nice and making us feel like home! The only downside was no running water after 10pm the first night and not so friendly front desk staff."
