Great paddle! - We had a great trip! Our guide Josh was fun and very knowledgeable. He provided interesting info along the trip. I will say it was a little longer of a paddle than I thought it would be- definitely recommend a tandem kayak if you are a beginner. It was a peaceful paddle, especially on the way back in the dark. I would definitely recommend!

Pure Relaxation! - If you want a peaceful, secluded, and serene adventure this was the place to be. No water traffic and just being one with your paddle, kayak, and the serene waves of the water. Katrina was also very helpful to get me in and out of the water safely.

Amazing Experience! - Both Kaleb and Katrina were so helpful! We knew where to go - and NOT to go - and what to expect. The views are incredible! Worth it!

Lost coats, kids had a great time. - We did have a fun experience. Kids enjoyed rowing and racing with the parents. Did have to dodge the debris in the water…..empty soda bottles and take out containers litter the waters throughout. The fellow who launched us was super nice. We had a good time navigating the bayou. We made the mistake of leaving our coats with the guy who launched us. When he went about his routine business our coats were taken by someone. The fellow was super apologetic. He called the manager and manager mentioned that we should note the fine print about whose responsibility our belongings are. We should’ve known better and some of the homeless who call that area home get to sleep more warmly this winter.

Kayak - The kayak had no back support which made it uncomfortable for really effective paddling . I enjoyed the scenery of what I saw

Don't do it. - It's like kayaking in a septic tank. If you don't get sick, maybe you'll get bit by a crackhead. Don't do it.
