If you're tired of the hustle and bustle of NOLA, take a trip to the beautiful Manchac Swamp and get your sanity back! MJ was our phenomenal driver and our brilliant kayak tour guide. She's knowledgeable about all things ecologically related to Louisiana, and she shares her knowledge generously and enthusiastically. WE LEARNED SO MUCH ON THIS TOUR! When we arrived at the swamp, MJ gave us a quick lesson on how to kayak, and we launched ourselves into the lazy waters of Manchac Swamp. (We definitely weren't white water rafting here!) We saw gators and learned about their life cycles, we saw herons and egrets and even a huge owl! We saw snakes swimming by, and we learned all about how important the bald cypress trees are to the Louisiana ecosystem. There were delicate spider lilies and invasive water hyacinths and stately water tupelo trees. MJ taught us about them all! It was a beautiful day with a cool breeze and hardly any humidity...just perfect! I am a 67 year old woman, and the paddling was easy enough for me to thoroughly enjoy it. DON'T HESITATE, GO ON THIS LOVELY, MELLOW, FASCINATING SWAMP TOUR NOW!

I did the Manchac Swamp Wildlife Kayak Tour with MJ and she was a great knowledgeable guide who went above and beyond. I've visited NO many times and this was one of my favorite activities. I ended up going solo and my friends were sorry they missed it. MJ made me feel comfortable even though I was on my own.

Fantastic way to experience the bayou! Enjoyed Nick's commentary on the wildlife and swamp ecosystem. Equipment was stable and well maintained, drive out from New Orleans took about 40 minutes.

Absolutely wonderful way to spend the afternoon! Our guide was knowledge and friendly. The pick up made it easy to get out of the city and still make it to dinner.

This trip is amazing. My friend and I wanted to experience New Orleans on the less touristy side and this tour allowed us to do that. The pick up location was fairly close to our hotel in the french quarter and our tour guide Alex was amazing. We paddled through the swamps and saw gators, owls and cotton mouth snakes. We freaked out a bit because the gators come straight to the boat, but once we got comfortable, it was great. Definitely recommend if you want to see the swamps etc. Would 10/10 do again. just remember to bring sunscreen and bottles of water, since lunch is not provided.
