PNO

PNO has deep roots in New Orleans and southeast Louisiana as the premier eco—tourism company, Cajun Encounters.

PNO is New Orleans’ premiere in-bound tour operator with respected travel and hospitality brands including Cajun Encounters Tours, Legendary Walking Tours, and Audubon Limousine transportation company. For over two decades, our company has operated in harmony with the environment at the Honey Island Conservancy situated on one of America’s more pristine waterways – The Pearl River. Our expert guid

es bring guests to secluded soughs where wildlife abounds with daily sightings of giant alligators, wild boar, eagles and more. In the fall of 2017 PNO will offer a “taste” of Cajun Country with the new Cajun Pavilion offering tradition crawfish boils, shrimp boils and (Cochon De Lait) pig roasts – a great accompaniment to an evening swamp tour at sunset! From the heart of the cypress forest to the bustle of the historic French Quarter, PNO’s expert guides and small group sizes deliver lasting experiences while touring historic New Orleans. Three hundred years of history can be seen in a day while on tour through the city’s neighborhoods. Venture along the Mississippi River to Plantation Row where grand mansions still line the old River Road offering stories of the Antebellum Period unique to the Old South, and more diverse than you thought, with French, English and German - mixed with Creole accents. Nowhere else can you experience this culture, but right here! PNO offers several walking tours in the French Quarter and Garden District that cater to many interests. The architecture of the city offer stunning contracts of many influences. Consider the city’s expansion in the early 1800’s with the transition of power from the Spanish to the French, only to be sold to Thomas Jefferson’s American government shortly after. Every block of this historic city tells a unique story through its beautiful buildings. Situated at the northern edge of the Caribbean temperate zone, New Orleans features wonderful gardens with bountiful flowers for every season. The evening offers a different story, one of ghosts of old pirates and voodoo queens – possibly a result of above ground burial tombs? After an evening walking through the dark streets of old Storyville, stop by the 73 Distillery for a tour and tasting of spirits made from Louisiana cane and rice. This is where cocktails were invented, so be part of NOLA history and raise a glass or two.

DID YOU KNOW: April was originally the second month of the year in early versions of the Roman calendar and consisted of 30 days. It became the fourth month consisting of only 29 days when January was designated the first month of the year around 450 BCE. The month became 30 days long again when Julius Caesar reformed the calendar.
