Kayak on the Bayou with AJ!

Perfect experience

Really great day all around. Mingo was incredibly knowledgeable and all in all pleasant to be around. One of us was a first timer and he was very welcoming with that. She was very comfortable doing a new thing. The water was low during our tour and when our boats sometimes got stuck, he was really good about helping us get out. He also was very reassuring that the water was safe.
My only suggestion would be to remind the tandem kayakers that it’s better to put the more powerful and/or experienced rower in the rear of the boat.
We found the experience to be very relaxing. And it proved to be a wonderful way to explore and learn about this region.
Great experience

A kayak trip through Manchac swamp is the perfect balancer to a busy FQ schedule and, as AJ, our terrific guide pointed out, a great way to do your tourist part to support and protect the local wildlife and waters. The 2 hour trip (plus transport) is serene, picturesque and the perfect length to still get in other things during the day, not to mention you will most likely see alligators, maybe an owl, egrets and eagles. Don’t miss it!
Beautiful magical kayak trip!

What a wonderful way to experience the unique beauty and mystery of the South Louisiana swamps and bayous. Our guide Kali, was knowledgeable about this fascinating ecosystem. As we meandered through the Manchac Swamp she would point out flora and fauna of note. From invasive Apple Snails to the Limpkins that eat them to bald eagles and of course the ‘gators we were provided a fun, relaxing and educational experience that beats anything Bourbon Street “offers.” Thanks!!!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
