New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tours

New Orleans, Louisiana

Description

It is national geographic beauty out in the swamps with not only the animals, but also the scenic backdrop.

Located just 30 minutes outside of the city, Manchac swamp is a great place to adventure to and explore with a kayak. There arn't any local places that rent kayaks, but you can take a tour with a few different companies; http://www.admirenola.com http://www.HiddenAdventureTour... or http://www.NewOrleansKayakSwam... .

The location is highly protected from the wind, so there won't be any waves and don't worry about. Spring and fall are my favorite times to venture out there. Winter is still and beautiful, summer is hot and muggy, and fall can be rainy. There are a lot of possible ways to venture when you get out there, just make sure to follow the same way back.

Run the Street Car Line in Uptown New Orleans

The historic street car line that runs from uptown New Orleans to Downtown New Orleans is the perfect place to run and experience the city if you are visiting. 22 miles of track allow you to choose from many different sections to run. The best section in my opinion is the section from the intersection of S.Carrollton Ave and St. Charles Ave to the intersection of Jefferson Ave and St. Charles A...

Its the perfect place to chill in the many gazebos and...

The Tree of Life as the Locals call it, is an iconic staple of the Uptown New Orleans area. Families have been climbing, swinging and getting married under this beautiful tree's canopy for years. The tree is estimated to be nearly 500 years old and the tree limbs even touch the ground as Spanish moss drapes from the overhanging branches. One little know fact about the tree is that is right next...

Hike the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge Trail

The trail on the boardwalk is about a mile but you also have the option to walk the full hike which is 6.8 miles. It almost completely flat the whole time and its one of my favorite places to go near New Orleans. There's also free guided walks available as well with groups so you can learn more about the area. I started out in the guided group and then went adventuring out past where the group ...
