We’ll keep with the pace of the city—nice and easy, taking in the southern scenery, hospitality and weather. While kayaking, you will see some of the older city structures, like the Spanish Custom House and the Pitot House, both built in the late 1700’s. You might hear and catch a glimpse of the happenings at Fair Grounds Race Course, one of the oldest horse tracks in the United States, as well as the site of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. You will be paddling along side beautiful City Park, which houses centuries-old live oak trees. « less

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Sara and Sonny were really fantastic to work with. They were helpful and fun and funny throughout the experience from making the reservation to recommendations for a bite to eat after the tour. This was a such a phenomenal way to view a part of New Orleans that you ordinarily would... More

I talked 2 friends who were all about Bourbon Street into going on this tour with me. They had a fun time - and I did too!! Sonny was our guide and he did a great job of talking about the wildlife and the citylife of New Orleans and Bayou St. John. It was just 2 hours but a really... More

First time to New Orleans and although I love the excitement and fun of the French Quarter, my favorite part of the trip was kayaking with Sonny and the group down Bayou St Johns. Sonny is an avid sportsman and historian. The four hour trip seemed like two. Although we drove from the French Quarter, I heard taking the street... More

I am an experienced kayaker who was traveling with an athletic person who had kayaked only once previously. Sara was our guide who was very patient with my friend as he got the hang of keeping his boat straight. It was an easy ride out to the museum stop on the Trolley and we were met promptly by Sara and... More

We had a great family tour of Bayou St. John -- tandems for parents & younger kids (ages 6 & 10) as well as one shared by our 13 and 12 yr olds. The pace was easy enough for most any skill level & we were provided with good, reliable equipment. As other commenters have noted, this tour is especially... More

We did the 4 hour kayak tour with Sara. It was only me, my husband, and 1 other couple but they left at the halfway point (I think it was a little too cold/windy for them). I liked the way back better when it was a more personalized trip. Sara was a good guide, she told us a lot about... More

My daughter and I met Sara and Sonny at the specified meeting place. The other group wasn't able to make it, so we got a 2 on 1 tour of Bayou St. John with Sonny. I have only kayaked 2 times before in a tandem kayak, but I found it very easy to handle a single kayak. We had a... More

Went with Kayakitiyat on a crisp Sunday afternoon. I took the longer trip and it was a highlight of my trip to New Orleans. Tips: 1. Take the streetcar line to the City Park (the last stop). I boarded the streetcar on Canal Street, Make sure you have the correct change of $1.25 each way or $3 for an all... More

My wife and I were in town for just two nights. She loves kayaking, and I thought a paddle would be a great way to see some parts of the city we would not otherwise experience. Although we called to inquire only the night beforehand, Sonny and Sara got back to us right away, and agreed to squeeze a tour... More

My husband and I were the only ones on a morning trip with Sunny. We took public transportation, and had no problem reaching the tour site. Not only was it an enjoyable 2 hours, it gave us the exercise we needed after gourging ourselves on the cuisines of NOLA. Sunny was easy going, gave us some very interesting history and... More
