We had a wonderful paddle with a great guide, Hannah. We loved floating through an amazing ecosystem, very different from where we paddle when we sea kayak. She was interesting, helpful, on time and fun! Highly recommend it - a great contrast to the wonders of city life in New Orleans!

The kayak trip was highly anticipated and didn’t disappoint. It’s the absolute best way to see this stunning and unique ecosystem. Hannah was super knowledgeable about the water ways. We couldn’t recommend this highly enough.
