Wild Louisiana Kayak Swamp Tours

This was the highlight of our whole trip to New Orleans! The French Quarter/Bourbon Street is only fun for so long! To be able to get out and explore the ecosystems of the swamps/lakes was in incredible unforgettable experience! AJ was a kick ass tour guide he absolutely loves what he does and loves him some new orleans! So knowledgeable and insightful about the swamps and the cities and was extremely laid back! We got lucky enough to only have a small group of 5 of some really cool strangers, plus AJ so it was more organic and naturistic! So glad we did this, would 100 percent do it every time🤘🐊🤘

This was a great tour--definitely one of the highlights of our visit to the NOLA area. AJ was a great tour leader--very knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, organized, and attentive. The whole vibe was very relaxed and enjoyable, and we got to see some really beautiful parts of the Louisiana swampland. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants an active but chill way to experience the swamp. We had so much fun, and learned a lot too! Thank you, AJ and Capt Josh!

What a wildly different experience from the first time we came on this tour. Gerald was the most amazing guide. He was a wealth of knowledge. We saw so many animals and learned so much about the bayou and swamp. He is the perfect person for the job, kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Thank you Gerald for making our swamp tour one of the best parts of our New Orleans trip. My mom had the best day ever!

2nd time was completely worth it! Gerald was an amazing guide, and was full of information.. he kept pointing out and explaining different things along the way.. the swamp was beautiful, everyone in our group of 4 had a great experience.. 3 of us had already done this same tour several years ago and one 1st timer.. considering the cost vs other tours, we chose to do this one again and would again for the gorgeous views alone

We met our tour guide, Al, at the launch site which is along the side of a road. There is a small gravel area where you can park. Al was on time and had all equipment needed for the kayak trip. As stated in the reservation, be sure to bring your own water and sunscreen. We did not need bug spray, but there may be times when it is necessary. The tour was great with equal opportunity to hear Al’s description of the bayou or to paddle ahead on your own. Al was able to answer questions about flora and fauna and has a fun personality. He helped us spot a variety of wildlife, including many alligators on the bank and swimming somewhat near our kayaks. We also saw a family of raccoons, a few egrets, turtles, and blackbirds. The cypress trees and Spanish moss were beautiful. . The trip lasted two hours and was an easy paddle on still water. Highly recommend!

I booked a 10am tour this Wednesday, and it was definitely the highlight of my week. Gerald was my guide, and it was just me and another guy doing the tour, so it was really peaceful and casual. Gerald gives the vibe of someone in love with the bayou and its inhabitants, be it plant or animal. He gave detailed and calm information on the bayou's nature and history, telling us a bit about the voodoo tales surrounding the area. We saw so many birds, turtles, and two teenage alligators. And I am so glad that they do not feed the animals. Very ethical, peaceful and informative. Kayaks were well maintained and clean. Didn't need to get my feet wet, and there weren't mosquitoes that morning.

Fabulous experience in a beautiful location. Al (our guide for the trip) picked me up on time in a clean mini bus along with 5 other people. Good quality equipment and Al certainly knew his stuff. We were on the water 2 hours and saw half a dozen alligators (one was around 10’ long) some spiders, turtles, an owl and some tiny frogs. I would recommend this relaxed way of seeing the swamps and with this professional tour operator.

Our kayak trip today with Wild Louisiana Kayak Swamp Tours was great. From the moment we arrived. Our guide, Al, made us feel welcome, safe, and excited to explore. Gliding through the cypress-lined waterways felt like entering another world—peaceful, mysterious, and alive with birdsong and the gentle rustle of the trees. We spotted herons, egrets, turtles, and even a few gators from a respectful distance. Our guide struck the perfect balance between engaging storytelling and giving us time to soak in the quiet beauty of our environment. The overall experience was thoughtfully curated. Highly recommended, this tour is an absolute must if you’re anywhere near New Orleans or southern Louisiana. Thank you, Wild Louisiana, for a truly unforgettable day on the water—we’ll be talking about this experience for years to come!
