New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tours is excited to offer you an eco-guided kayak tour of the Manchac Swamp, it is a great opportunity to explore the bayous, rivers and wetlands around New Orleans, Louisiana.
Paddling the wetlands is a great way to get out of the city and find some peace and quiet. We don't feed the wildlife like a lot of the other tours and being the captain of your own boat is the best way to interact with the environment.

Insta360 One: Swamp & Bayou - September 2018 - New Orleans Travel Vlog
Experience Louisiana’s wildlife and exotic plant life with Jean Lafitte Swamp & Airboat Tours, headquartered near New Orleans in the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. A Captain guided us along swamps and bayous, where we came face-to-face with alligators, different species of birds, and other wildlife.
We learned a lot about Alligators: It is distinguished by its wide, rounded snout and black color. The American alligator lives in the southern United States, from North Carolina to Texas. Alligators can't control their temperature internally, so when they are cold, they sunbathe, and when they are hot, they go for a swim or sink beneath the mud. As soon as they are born, the babies, called hatchlings, can go and catch their own food. American hatchlings are around 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) long. After around two years, they leave their mother's protection to start their own families. Excess calories are stored in fat deposits at the base of the alligator's tail. Incredibly, by burning fat reserves, it is possible for an alligator to last more than two years between feedings.
I even got to hold a baby alligator! Though, I hate reptiles and rodents… I can’t put my finger on why I hate those creatures; it may be cultural or psychological or both. And I wonder, how and why I did hold it. I think the big factor for the exception, our Captain “humanized” it… called it “Baby Benny,” danced it around, and wagged it’s feet in a “hello” gesture. However, the disturbing bit was it was stored in a cooler for a good hour before our Captain took it out for show and tell as part of the tour! I was a bit put off by that, not sure how appropriate that is. Then, it was placed back into the cooler after everyone has had the chance to hold it. But the Captain informed us that it is perfectly comfortable chillin in the cooler, and will be released into the wild when it gets bigger… I hope so!

Kayaking Manchac Swamp near New Orleans with Beyond the Bayou Tours
Today (3-26-17) I went with Jake from Beyond the Bayou Tours to kayak the Manchac Swamp on the west bank of the Mississippi River. The swamp is eerie but gorgeous and very serene. We saw a couple of very large brown barn owls perched on the trees scanning for frogs, several small gators (largest being 5.5'), several water snakes, and made friends with quite a few cricket frogs that jumped into our kayaks to hitch a ride. However, unfortunately none of them were identifiable in any of my videos because they all camo'd themselves so well. This is definitely a great eco-tour adventure for when you're ready to escape the debauchery of the French Quarter.

Allen, the boat Captain and tour guide, was exceptionally good: funny, very knowledgeable and personable!

Alligator Swamp Tour, Louisiana
#Louisiana #swamp #alligator
Upon returning from our trip to Guatemala we continued to drive around the United States crossing off several of the states in the South, including Louisiana. It was a pretty wet and cold day, not the best time for a swamp tour, but we went anyway!
Despite the cold and overcast skies we did see several gators and other wildlife. Cajun Pride Swamp Tours does a great job of telling you all about the swamp and making it a fun and memorable time (this video is not sponsored).
The swamp is a very interesting environment and certainly one we wouldn't mind exploring some more! Hopefully next time it will be a little bit more sunny!

Kayaking at Chicot State Park, Ville Platte, Louisiana
Kayaking deep into the forest at Lake Chicot. This place is hauntingly and mysteriously beautiful. During summer, the place is dark because of the canopy of water tupelo trees. Water is covered with duckweeds (literally looks like a green carpet). Paddling during winter is different. Less weeds, no leaves, thus more sunlight....not to mention no mosquitoes! :)
SWAMP TOUR LOUISIANA - The last Wilderness
Last summer we made a roadtrip through the Southern States, traveling from New Orleans to Natchez, Clarksdale, Memphis, Nashville, the great smoky mountains, Charleston and Savannah.
During our stay in New Orleans we booked a Swamp tour through the Atchafalaya River Basin at The last wilderness ( ) Highly recommend it! Informative, small-scale, ecofriendly, beautiful.

-Napoleon House
-Nola Brewing Tap Room
-SoBou Restaurant
