You must come and see it for yourself - It was a fantastic trip in the swamp kayaking. Our guide Nick taught us a lot about swamp creatures, especially owls. We were lucky to see a baby crocodile. A very unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience - Very good weather for a month of February, it was a pleasant walk and rich in flora and fauna. We have seen alligators, snakes, turtles, birds and raccoons on several occasions. Nice discovery!

A Good Adventure in Swamp Exploration - Nick did an amazing job! He had a lot of information to share about kayaking and the wildlife. I also love learning about local folklore so he went out of his way to share some stories and book recommendations. We were able to spot 3 barred owls, a swamp rabbit, and much more. Definitely would recommend.

Wonderful experience! - Great, smooth experience from the pick up to drop off. Our tour guide, Nick picked us up on time and location was easy to find. The ride to the takeoff location was comfortable. The group was a nice size of 7. Nice was knowledgeable, laid back, and loved answering our questions. He wasn't talking at us or giving the "schpeel". He talked with us and seemed to really enjoy guiding a group. The pace was spot on. I highly recommend this company!

Beautiful tour, easy for beginners - We had the most amazing time on this tour! Our guide, Nick, was so kind, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. He made learning how to kayak easy for a beginner. We saw tons of cool wildlife and got interesting info each time. We even mentioned that we were interested in seeing some insects and Nick immediately pointed out a bagworm. It was also great to get out of the city - the swamp is so peaceful and the tour still would have been worth it even if we didn't see any wildlife. The shuttle option was convenient. I couldn't recommend this tour more highly!

A local gem-experience this taste of nature in the bayou - Stephanie was a wonderful guide during our 2.5 hour Manchac kayak tour. As a beginner, Stephanie was extremely accommodating. She moderated her pace and information to the various abilities and interests of her group. The bayou is a peaceful, lovely environment and a perfect diversion from New Orleans, less than an hour’s drive away. Highly recommend this eco-friendly tour!

Beautiful and relaxing - Our guide Ryan was so knowledgeable and passionate about the ecology. We learned a lot and he enjoyed answering our questions. It rained the whole time but it actually may have improved the experience.
