If you're tired of the hustle and bustle of NOLA, take a trip to the beautiful Manchac Swamp and get your sanity back!
MJ was our phenomenal driver and our brilliant kayak tour guide.
She's knowledgeable about all things ecologically related to Louisiana, and she shares her knowledge generously and enthusiastically.
WE LEARNED SO MUCH ON THIS TOUR!
When we arrived at the swamp, MJ gave us a quick lesson on how to kayak, and we launched ourselves into the lazy waters of Manchac Swamp. (We definitely weren't white water rafting here!)
We saw gators and learned about their life cycles, we saw herons and egrets and even a huge owl!
We saw snakes swimming by, and we learned all about how important the bald cypress trees are to the Louisiana ecosystem.
There were delicate spider lilies and invasive water hyacinths and stately water tupelo trees.
MJ taught us about them all!
It was a beautiful day with a cool breeze and hardly any humidity...just perfect!
I am a 67 year old woman, and the paddling was easy enough for me to thoroughly enjoy it.
DON'T HESITATE, GO ON THIS LOVELY, MELLOW, FASCINATING SWAMP TOUR NOW!
