Kayak-iti-Yat, Original Kayaking Tours of New Orleans 3494 Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70119

"Kayaking the bayou was a fun, unique way to explore and learn about New Orleans. My husband and I appreciated that our guide, Rob, tailored the tour around our interests, kayak experience, and time. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone and plan to take another tour the next time we're in the Crescent City."

"A unique and fun way to see a different side of NOLA! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history, architecture and even the wildlife we saw. Highly recommend!"

"Loved our 2 hour paddle on Bayou Saint John. Lots of history, fun stories, tons of patience and instruction with beginners. A peaceful location, nice good quality kayaks and friendly guides. You’re not in a swamp, more like a clean canal ( for swamp you need to go farther out of town), although there are gators in there! Don’t worry you’re not at risk and it’s a gorgeous few hours to spend. Can recommend!"

"We had such a great time on the 4 hour paddle with Colin. He was very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and role of the Bayou and even the lake. We had forgot sunscreen but they let us use theirs which was just very generous!! I really liked that he cared enough about the water to paddle over and get trash and even on the walk to the lake he stopped to pick up litter. That’s definitely some one who cares about the earth!!"

"Awesome urban adventure. We had a wonderful experience kayaking the bayou with Trishelle as our guide. Excellent communication ahead of time and great to work with. We learned about the history of the area, the architecture, the wildlife and ecology, and saw an alligator and much more. 100% recommend and would do it again. Even though it’s late November we did get a lot of sun, so don’t skip the sunscreen!"
