Beyond the
City Limits

New Orleans has always been defined by its relationship to the water, the wetlands, and the coast. These two curated ecotour partnerships bring that story to life — up close, unhurried, and unforgettable. They also honor a legacy close to this hotel's founding spirit: Theodore Roosevelt was one of America's great conservationists, and these experiences carry that same commitment to the natural world forward.

Before You Go
What to
Expect
01
Not a Swamp Tour

These experiences are built around the real story of Louisiana's coast — one of the fastest-disappearing landscapes in the world. You'll see active restoration efforts, working fishing communities, and fragile ecosystems up close, with guides who live and work inside this story every day.

02
Conservation in Action

Louisiana is losing land faster than almost anywhere on earth. Both tours put you directly inside that story — active coastal restoration efforts, disappearing marshes, and the communities working to hold the line. This is conservation you can see, not just read about.

03
The Real Louisiana

A dockside seafood boil with the oysters you just learned about. A wildlife identification card earned on the water. These are authentic encounters with a place and a culture that most visitors never reach — and that locals know is worth fighting to protect.
