About Us
Create memories on a New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tour as you explore the beauty of the Louisiana swamps and New Orleans plantations like the Whitney Plantation tour with the help of our knowledgeable and friendly guides.
Our eco kayak swamp tour offer an immersive way to experience bayous, wildlife, and wetlands up close and personal at your own pace. By using kayaks instead of motorized watercrafts or airboats, we minimize noise, pollution, and disruption to wildlife habitat. Our guides share fascinating stories about the swamp’s history, wildlife behavior, and cultural significance, making every tour both fun and educational giving you a deeper connection to the environment. Perfect for friends, families, couples, nature lovers, and bachelor/ bachelorette parties
We believe tourism should protect what it explores. A portion of every tour supports local wetland conservation and restoration efforts, helping preserve the ecosystems that make Louisiana unique.
Come out and enjoy the water on the Manchac Swamp tour and the Honey Island swamp tour. The Gulf Coast ecosystem is the largest and fastest disappearing land mass on the planet. Take a paddle through these bayous, rivers and swamps with us while you still can and learn what you can do to help save them!
