Easy walk from French Quarter to the pick up location, fairly short ride to the swamp, It was a pretty easy paddle through the bayou, some great scenery and wildlife (got to see an owl close up in a tree) and a gator off in distance (disappeared before we got too close). We went pretty far in and then turned around and went back to the drop in location. Me and my family are not used to kayaking often, so we were pretty tired and the paddle back felt more upstream and upwind and was pretty exhausting. Probably a little too fast paced on the return, would recommend slowing it down if possible. Also recommend having plenty of water (in my opinion should have been provided), so bring some along. All in all a very good time and tour, a couple of small tweaks and definitely would be first rate.
