I went on the extended Manchac tour and cannot recommend this experience highly enough!!! Our guide, Nick, was stellar! His passion for and knowledge of that ecosystem really made it a magical adventure; we were not just traveling through it, we were a part of it! And so much wildlife!! Barred owls (& chicks), Great Egret, Anhinga, Scissor-tailed Kite, and.....Roseate Spoonbill!!! We had first-time paddlers and veteran paddlers and the experience was great for all of us. Already thinking about my next trip back!

This was the highlight of my trip. We saw a lot of animals and it was slightly overcast so it wasn't too hot. There weren't mosquitos out either (I went mid/late April). We saw baby alligators in the nest up close and a baby owl (plus the mothers)! AJ the guide was awesome!

Great trip super well organized, knowledgeable guide super friendly and adaptable. The extended tour allowed us to get deep into the Bayou and see alligators barn owls herons kytes and more.

The extended Manchak tour was totally worth the extra time and cost -- we got to paddle our way into some fascinating areas and see an incredible perspective of the area. Highly recommend this company and the extended tour!

A must do if you are the active type and want to see the swamps and bayous around Nola without scaring away the wildlife in an airboat. Well organized company, easy to find pickup spot, and the guides (Nick and MJ) were both welcoming and very knowledgeable and truly care about the delicate environment. This isn't a company that just wants your money, they want a good experience and it shows. The paddling wasn't difficult but a little kayak experience on a lake is probably needed. Highlight of my trip for sure.

Outstanding experience! I was very pleased with the length of this outing. AJ was the perfect guy to guide our group! He was very knowledgeable about the whole area and very patience in answering everyone's questions throughly. He took extra time pointing critters out to all of us, explaining their needs, habitat and what is now impacting the swamps. I would 1000x recommend booking this excursion and ask for AJ for an unforgettable experience! I don't have a single negative thing to say about the day!!

The swamp was gorgeous because spring was just beginning to turn the plants and trees bright green. Our guide, Ryan, was perfect. He was very easy going and very knowledgeable. The extended tour allowed us to get off the bayous and deep into the swamp, surrounded by plant life. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

The tour was fantastic! Our guide (thank you AJ!) made sure we saw the most wildlife possible and told us loads of interesting things about the plants, alligators, and birds of the area. I'm glad I chose the extended tour and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent trip! Our guide Nick was extremely knowledgeable and informative. We learned so much about the swamp ecosystem and Nick picked out birds and gators that we would never have even noticed! Highly recommended!
