  • Manchac, Manchac, Louisiana, United States
    A TRUE SWAMP JUST OUTSIDE NEW ORLEANS The Manchac wetlands are bordered on the east by Lake Pontchartrain. On the north, the wetlands surround Lake Maurepas and then extend towards Baton Rouge. The southern border is the high ground that parallels the Mississippi River. Interstates I 10 and I 55 slice through the wetlands mostly on elevated sections. The forested wetlands cover approximately 200 square miles where the ground is neither high and dry nor under water. Foot travel through these woods would be extremely difficult.

We enjoyed this tour a lot. Brandon (or Brendon?), our main guide, is an absolute class act. He was friendly, funny, available, clearly loved the outdoors (and animals) and knew a whole bunch about the flora and fauna. He is also an all-around legend - 190 pounds of long-haired, well-muscled, blue-eyed, swamp-dwelling ruggedness. He showed us a video of him coolly manhandling and releasing a pretty big gator that had caught itself on his fishing line - a savvy marketing move, but also a super fun moment. Our secondary guide, Matt (he was with us at the bayou, but Brandon is the one who drove us there and back and took us out to lunch) was also very competent and lots of fun to be around. We talked about our kids, wildlife, conservation - I really valued these seemingly genuine interactions. My only gripe is that I wish the paddling part had been longer. By signing up for the longer, more expensive tour (supposed to be 5-6 hours), we figured we'd get to spend almost a full day in the bayou and cover lots of ground. In reality, the tour was closer to four hours, including a long, leisurly meal at a snack bar near the trail head. The stretch of river we paddled was about a mile (so two miles there and back) and we gathered by talking with our guides that it was exactly the same itinerary as the 'shorter', more economical tours. The extra money is basically for the privilege of a lunch-date with Brandon - worth every penny, in this case, because Brandon is a real prince. Still, if I go again, I'd go for the more affordable 3-hour evening tour (paddle one way by daylight, come back by twilight, with all the nocturnal animal activity and sounds). All in all, though, I would warmly recommend this outfit to anyone, particularly beginners.

We enjoyed our time on the water with Matt. His knowledge made the scenery twice as interesting. His genuine love for the outdoors made you appreciate the rich wildlife and history that New Orleans has to offer beyond music and food. We highly recommend spending time with him outdoors.

Really wonderful trip. It ended up just being me and my husband so we appreciated having a private tour. Matt and Byron were so knowledgeable and passionate which really made the trip special. We saw tons of wildlife and lucked out with beautiful weather. Lunch was tasty too! Would highly recommend.
