A great kayaking trip - The swamp kayak tour was excellent. We saw some wildlife like owls and baby alligators. The guide (AJ) was personable and showed us a great time. We were the only ones signed up, and he still took us out on the water. He also made a great restaurant recommendation. No reservations or complaints. We had a great time.

Hot but good time - This was a great time. Nice long and hot tour of the swamp. We were able to see alligators and other wildlife. Was casually guided so not like typical tours where you are forced into a small group. AJ did point out several interesting areas. Recommend that you are experienced and prepared for 4 hours on the water!

Fantastic time - Our guide Nick was knowledgeable about the area and all the plants and critters. Had a fantastic time seeing a part of the world I didn’t know much about. Would recommend it highly. Fun and eye opening.

Immersive Wildlife Paddle Experience - I went on the extended Manchac tour and cannot recommend this experience highly enough!!! Our guide, Nick, was stellar! His passion for and knowledge of that ecosystem really made it a magical adventure; we were not just traveling through it, we were a part of it! And so much wildlife!! Barred owls (& chicks), Great Egret, Anhinga, Scissor-tailed Kite, and.....Roseate Spoonbill!!! We had first-time paddlers and veteran paddlers and the experience was great for all of us. Already thinking about my next trip back!

Great day on the water - This was the highlight of my trip. We saw a lot of animals and it was slightly overcast so it wasn't too hot. There weren't mosquitos out either (I went mid/late April). We saw baby alligators in the nest up close and a baby owl (plus the mothers)! AJ the guide was awesome!

Do the extended tour, totally worth it! - The extended Manchak tour was totally worth the extra time and cost -- we got to paddle our way into some fascinating areas and see an incredible perspective of the area. Highly recommend this company and the extended tour!

Amazing experience, great guides - A must do if you are the active type and want to see the swamps and bayous around Nola without scaring away the wildlife in an airboat. Well organized company, easy to find pickup spot, and the guides (Nick and MJ) were both welcoming and very knowledgeable and truly care about the delicate environment. This isn't a company that just wants your money, they want a good experience and it shows. The paddling wasn't difficult but a little kayak experience on a lake is probably needed. Highlight of my trip for sure.

Don't think just do it! - Outstanding experience! I was very pleased with the length of this outing. AJ was the perfect guy to guide our group! He was very knowledgeable about the whole area and very patience in answering everyone's questions throughly. He took extra time pointing critters out to all of us, explaining their needs, habitat and what is now impacting the swamps. I would 1000x recommend booking this excursion and ask for AJ for an unforgettable experience! I don't have a single negative thing to say about the day!!

A Beautiful Adventure - The swamp was gorgeous because spring was just beginning to turn the plants and trees bright green. Our guide, Ryan, was perfect. He was very easy going and very knowledgeable. The extended tour allowed us to get off the bayous and deep into the swamp, surrounded by plant life. I would recommend this trip to anyone!
