    You can be picked up at the historic St. Roch Market right outside of the French Quarter or drive yourself the short 30 min drive to the tour location. The group will convene at the trip starting point and an introductory lecture on kayaking the swamp will be given. You will then enter your kayak and follow your guide through the scenic Manchac Swamp, a slow-moving bayou that once was home to the destroyed logging ghost town of Ruddock, LA and served as a passage way for historic New Orleans explorers; Iberville, Biennville, and more. Stops will be made along the way and your guide will teach you about the swamp's history and wildlife. The tour duration is anywhere from 2-3hrs depending on the groups kayaking experience. Once you return to the launch site you will join the rest of the group to be transported back to the city. If you drive out yourself you can depart as soon as you return to the launch site.

A.J. gave us a great day! Our first time on the bayou and it did not dissapoint. We saw an owl, bald eagle, smallish gator, green heron, baby blue heron, red bellied woodpecker, and a few blue crabs. A very relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

4 of us were in a small boat. Terry was great! He took us deep into the Swamp. He was very knowledgeable. The swamp was Amazing! Highly recommended!

The guide arrived at the pick-up point on time. There was one star for that. Everything else was a disaster. A briefing on the use of the boats, behavior when an alligator comes to the boat or you generally paddle has not taken place. Despite a severe thunderstorm, the tour was not cancelled. There was no help and safety instructions from the guide in the storm. Even when he was told the participant from the group needed help, that was ignored. He did not help empty the full boats, rescue stuck boats or support the weak. Our request to drop us off directly at the hotel as we were totally soaked he did not comply. A degrading situation to walk lightly clothed and soaked through the city. We are glad to have survived the tour unscathed. Our conclusion... absolutely not recommended
