Experience the full story of the Louisiana wetland ecosystem on this eco-friendly low impact tour. Kayak through a swamp environment surrounded by cypress trees covered in Spanish Moss . Then enter a marsh with open view as we paddle into Lake Pontchartrain. All at the laid back New Orleans pace, no rushing down the bayou on our tour.
There are plenty of short breaks along the tour where your professional guide will pause and give detailed info about the bayous, swamps, and Louisiana’s wetland eco systems. At the mid way point, we will stop and enjoy the surroundings. Depending on the season wildlife consists of ibises, egrets, herons, eagles, alligators, turtles, and more. Woodpeckers and assorted song birds are seasonal visitors to the living and dead cypress trees visible from the bayou.
