Experience the wild beauty of Louisiana's historic Atchafalaya floodplain on a 2.5-hour guided kayak adventure through towering cypress forests. Led by lifelong local guide and LSU-trained wetland scientist Capt. Albert "Al" Wilson, this small-group eco-tour offers an authentic look at one of Louisiana's most remarkable wetland ecosystems. Quietly paddling through secluded bayous allows you to experience the swamp as few visitors ever do. Along the way, you'll learn about Cajun culture, the natural history of the region, and the ecology that makes these wetlands so unique. Keep an eye out for alligators, turtles, wading birds, owls, bald eagles, nutria and countless other native species in their natural habitat. Tour offers a peaceful and immersive experience with no previous kayaking experience required. All kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and safety equipment are provided, and tandem kayaks are available upon request.
Peaceful. Immersive. Intimate. Kayaking through the swamp is truly the ultimate swamp experience. We will be exploring some of the largest and most beautiful second growth cypress trees in the country within the historical Atchafalaya basin. Join us in our discoveries that will tap into all of your senses and come away with a new appreciation and knowledge of our beautiful Louisiana swamps, Cajun culture, and the native wildlife that dwells within.
The meeting point is at a little park called a the Bayou Sorrel Park. You will see tennis courts, a play ground, and a draw bridge across the street. From there, you will follow the tour guide to the kayak launch— where you’ll park your car.
