Gray Line Katrina Tour
Bus tours all too often represent the cheesiest way for tourists to experience a city, which is why we wouldn't ordinarily recommend any for New Orleans. The idea of a Gray Line bus tour of neighborhoods devastated by Hurricane Katrina might sound too similar to rubbernecking at a wreck on the highway, but if you feel it's important to witness the destruction and lack a friend to drive you around the vast area that was flooded, then you should hop aboard and do so guilt-free.
Most of the people of New Orleans would prefer that visitors to the city see the devastated areas rather than pretend nothing happened here in the summer of 2005. While it's true that Gray Line hopes…

Bayou Barn
Below New Orleans, the Mississippi River flows 90 miles to the bird’s-foot-shaped delta, where river pilots board ships entering from the Gulf. The 20,000-acre Barataria Preserve, a unit of southern Louisiana’s Jean Lafitte National Historic Park, offers hiking and canoe trips into the swamp. It’s a good introduction to the wetlands environment. Though not a pristine wilderness, as canals and other structures offer evidence of human activity, wild animals and plants are still abundant. Even a brief walk on the boardwalks that wend their way through the swamp will yield sightings of gators and egrets. Ranger-led walks along the Bayou Coquille Trail are offered daily at…

Fair Grounds Race Track
The Union Race Course was laid out on this spot in 1852, and New Orleanians have been betting on the ponies ever since. Today the Churchill Downs Company, which also hosts the Kentucky Derby, operates the track, and rechristened the Fair Grounds in 1863 during the Union occupation. This is the third-oldest track in the nation. During the Civil War, in addition to horse races, you could catch a bear fight down this way. Today, besides horse races, the Fair Grounds is the site of the annual Louisiana Derby (in March) and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The Fair Grounds’ handsome gatehouse entryway was designed by James Gallier Jr in 1859 for an agricultural fair,…

St Charles Avenue Streetcar
A buck twenty-five gets you on the St Charles Avenue Streetcar, which plies the oldest continuously operating street railway system in the world. New Orleanians are justifiably proud of this moving monument, which began life as the nation’s second horse-drawn streetcar line, the New Orleans & Carrollton Railroad, in 1835. In 1893 the line was among the first systems to be electrified. Now it is one of the few streetcars in the USA to have survived the automobile era. The fleet of antique cars survived the hurricanes of 2005 and today full service has been restored all the way to South Carrollton Ave.

Bridge Side Marina
The end of the road down bayou way is 70 miles southeast of Houma, in Grand Isle. The windswept barrier-island town took quite the beating from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, but many businesses have reopened and the Old Fishing Bridge has been restored. In addition to seafood shacks and fishing camps, boat charters are the big business here. Bridge Side Marina can hook you up with rods, reels and guided boats.

Steamboat Natchez
The closest thing to an authentic steamboat running out of New Orleans today, the Natchez is steam-powered and has a bona fide calliope on board.
