Great experience kayaking in the Bayous. The day we went was a little fresh but the sun was there all the way. We did not see any aligators that day because they normally show up when it is very warm. We saw turtles and birds and were explained all the vegetation by the two excellent guides. It was very interesting. Very relaxing activity when you're searching for some quiet time between visiting the surroundings and NOLA itself. One thing though is the indication of the location. An indication for the direction of the meeting spot along the road should be indicated when you reach the road leaving the interstate. We followed Google map directions but ended up turning towards the wrong side of the road after leaving the interstate. We recommend this activity.
