A New Orleans Kayak Tour is a must-do experience for any visitor to the city of New Orleans. Meet the local critters, take in the unique scenery, and learn about the history of Ruddock as you paddle down the slow-moving bayou.
Local guides lead you by kayak through the historic Manchac swamp, pointing out wildlife along the way. Our guides are trained in the rich cultural history of the area, from native cultures to early exploration and logging.
Enjoy a kayak trip through the moss-covered cypress trees of Manchac on this trip through a beautiful and scenic wildlife area. You can expect to see alligators, egrets, eagles, and other swamp creatures.
Very little experience is necessary to paddle the slow-moving bayou, making it a perfect activity for people of all ages.
The bayou was once home to the destroyed logging ghost town of Ruddock, LA, and it served as a passageway for historic New Orleans explorers, including Iberville, Bienville, Ponchartrain, and more.
