Kayak Tour Of The Honey Island Swamp and Backwaters
Overview
Enjoying nature and the natural beauty are great reasons to go kayaking on the outskirts of New Orleans. We paddle through the Honey Island Swamp and circle through large cypress trees with one of the trees being on the National Registry. The waters are calm and ideal for both beginners and moderate paddlers alike. Very little experience is necessary to paddle these picturesque waterways. We keep our tours small so we can cater to the interest of our guests. You will see an array of wildlife as you make way enjoying the beauty and peacefulness only nature can avail.
