from $84per person from-price, live price on the listing

Four hours is a long time on swamp water, and this New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tours outing uses every minute of it. Paddles push through the cypress-tupelo forest of the Manchac Swamp, past rookeries where herons and egrets nest, with a guide who reads the water and the weather. The small group covers ground a pontoon cannot reach, into channels too narrow for motors. Rated 4.8 across 13 reviews, from $84 per person, free cancellation.
