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.

great! - Ali was such a great guide. Our group was mostly first timers and Ali made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident on the water. She was super knowledgeable on all of the wildlife and vegetation and was able to teach us so much about the area. Saw a decent amount of alligators too! Overall an amazing experience and a great way to feel immersed in nature.
