A beautiful day in the bayou

A must do! There are many options to visit a bayou when you are in New Orleans, but you realize quickly that many are harmful to the animals and the bayou because of the airboats. We found that this eco-friendly tour was a good option...More

It's easy to see how much the guides enjoy what they do and the pride they take in it. It's very relaxing and great to see the bayou. I would recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat.

Best way to see the bayou

Hands-down, kayaking or canoeing is the best way to experience the Bayou. It's the least disruptive way to travel through the waters so you really see all the animals in their natural habitat. The day I went I saw alligators, turtles, snakes, a bunch of...More

French Quarter

A small and teeming network of laissez-faire living
lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty
Mississippi, the French Quarter has long been a port
of call for folks in search of a good time and a great
story. Perpetually inebriated Bourbon Street runs
across its midriff like a strand of cheap ribbon tied
around an otherwise rather pretty and impressively
well-kept vintage dress. Throughout the rest of the

Really considering booking this tour, but the idea of paddling alongside alligators is a little frightening! Has anyone had experience with the alligators approaching the kayaks or swimming under them? Trying to talk myself into doing this!

Brittany, we paddle in an area where the alligators are still wild and do not associate humans with food so they do not approach the kayaks. Alligators become dangerous when they are taught to approach small boats to receive... More
