What you can expect

Venture beyond New Orleans to the wilds of Louisiana's bayous on a group kayaking tour of the Manchac and Maurepas swamps. No kayaking experience is necessary, as a guide teaches you everything need to know to enjoy this southern-style adventure.

Select the option of being picked up and transported to the launch site from the French Quarter of New Orleans or choose the option of meeting the group at the launch site. Get set up with your well-maintained kayak, paddle, and life vest.

Listen as your guide gives you step-by-step paddling instructions during a safety briefing. Embark on your kayaking journey through shallow and narrow waterways that are impossible to reach with a motorized vessel.

Learn about the history and importance of this crucial ecosystem. Look for wildlife that is native to these wetlands like alligators, turtles, and owls. Return to your meeting point at the end of your tour.
