Review:

Louisiana’s Avery Island is a 2,200-acre privately owned island that’s famous as the birthplace of Tabasco brand hot sauce. The subtropical island is one of five that rise from the coastal waters.

The islands are formed by giant rock salt formations, a remnant of an ancient seabed.

Visit the Tabasco factory and museum, where the sauce has been in production since 1868.

Enjoy authentic southern and Cajun food at the Tabasco restaurant.

At the 170-acre Jungle Gardens you’ll see native flora and fauna, including a bird sanctuary that’s home to both native and migrating species. Bird tours are available daily via reservation. Avery Island Map
