Wild Louisiana Tours was an amazing kayak tour through the cypress swamps. Max was an excellent guide with his knowledge of the local history, plants, and wildlife. We enjoyed the quiet seclusion and peaceful beauty of the area. We would definitely recommend Wild Louisiana Tours to anyone visiting the area. Thanks for the fun experience!

I would recommend this tour for families who don't kayak often, and maybe for someone making a repeat visit to NOLA. For myself, I kayak often on vacations and didn't find it as challenging -- or pretty -- as other trips I've taken. As in, it is not the swamp from The Princess and the Frog, if that is what you're hoping for. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about both the swamp and New Orleans generally. It was just my husband and me on the tour, which was nice. On the other hand, our guide picked us up over a half hour late, a delay which seemed unnecessary given it was just us getting picked up. The whole thing door to door took quite a few hours, and I would have rather used that time for other things in the city; however if you have the time and want to see another side of New Orleans, this is worth looking into.

Allie, thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm glad that you had an overall positive experience. I am also glad that you enjoyed the private tour you had with your husband, and the exception we made to drop you all at a restaurant, as opposed to the normal pickup and drop off location. I would like to point out that we ask guests to be ready for an hour before the tour time, detailing you will be picked up by no latest 30 min before your tour time to account for other pickups and traffic etc, which you were. I also would like to apologize that the swamp did not meet your "Princess and the Frog" expectations, and that you would have preferred a more challenging experience. While the Manchac Swamp is one of the top ten paddles in the state of Louisiana even a moderate trip being quite scenic, we could have definitely taken you deeper into this wilderness area, although this would have also added to the time you felt you would have preferred to spend in the city doing other things. If you are interested in trying a more challenging swamp experience in the future, please let us know, thanks and best wishes!

Just got back from a kayak bayou tour with 6 girlfriends. We all had a wonderful time and loved our guide Max. He was friendly, knowledgable and caring. He checked in with us often to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. I loved how he knew the bayou like the back of his hand and had lots of interesting facts to tell us. This tour exceeded my expectations and was a highlight of my visit to New Orleans.
