The one bad side was that there was a long wait of about 40 minutes to get on a bus to the river because they had one person stationed at the tent taking money & one guy running people back and forth with the van. It was a super long wait in the sun, as there's no shade. But again, sooooo worth it. The staff was amazing & really made it up to us.

The river was beautiful, and there were many beaches -- some sandy, some rocky -- where you could pull off for awhile. We loved that there weren't a whole bunch of people on the river. If you like a quieter paddling excursion, this is definitely it. If you're debating between a tube or a kayak, we liked the kayaks better. Do wear shoes!

We also had the pleasure of meeting Albert, who is an excellent tour guide and a genuine nature lover, which was easy to see from his narration of all the plants and wildlife as he drove our boat through the swamp. Definitely recommend this tour if you want to see nature in an eco-friendly responsible way, as well as learning about the real history of plantations in the Deep South.

I've never floated the Bogue Chitto but I did a river float in Hot Springs, Arkansas a few years back and this was way more relaxing and organized. Easy float that would be kid friendly (would probably do the two hour one though) since there's not too many obstacles/rapids and lots of beaches to stop at. Took me less than a 1.5 hours to get here from NOLA and took my friends about 1.5 to get here from BR.10/10 recommend this and I will definitely be back!

My partner and I have some experience paddling and wanted plenty of time to see wildlife and get deep in the swamp for the best scenery, and for us the extended tour was the right choice! I'd recommend it to visitors to New Orleans who love nature, the outdoors, and/or getting a fun and unique workout in during vacation. We were on the water for about 4 hours. Sunscreen, sunglasses, shoes you don't mind getting wet, and PLENTY of water are a must! There are stops at a truck stop right before and after for the bathroom and buying any drinks/snacks, plus a stop on dry land during the tour. Our guide Nick was clearly dedicated to both paddling and nature even outside of work, and our tour felt less like a scripted performance as some tours can be and more like a buddy was showing and telling you things he was passionate about. We saw several small alligators, barred owls, hawks, turtles, and water birds. It was unseasonably warm so the reptiles were a treat to see, and it was awesome getting to see owls out in daylight which I'd never be able to pick out myself. Bring binoculars if you have them! My only small complaint, which has nothing to do with the tour itself: the AI-generated content on the company's Instagram page is kind of weird. Photos and videos from actual tours would be more honest and enticing!

Al met us at Dale's Trading Post to lead us to the launch point which was a short drive down the road. Don't worry, no off-road experience was necessary to get to the river. The swamp tour itself was fantastic. Al was a very knowledgeable guide and talked about the cypress trees, ecology of the basin, and was full of fun facts about the animals we saw. I very much appreciated that the tour was pretty quiet as it allowed for a more intimate experience with the swamp With minimal disturbance of the wildlife. It was an easy paddle and there was little to no current so I would say this tour is very novice friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

I was a little hesitant to jump into the fray with this club because right about the time I started…read morebeing a creepy lurker on their message board, they were discussing and debating stroke technique with all manner of intricacy that made me think I would be in way over my head and shunned from the get-go, even though I've been in a canoe since I was a wee little one. And made me think that the fun, relaxed, unplugged atmosphere of paddling trips of my childhood would not be the case here. Boy was I ever wrong. The upper echelon of this group is a set of ridiculously knowledgeable folks, yes. Quite a few are certified instructors in kayak and/or canoe paddling, self rescue, etc with the American Canoe Association (ACA). Some of them are total gear-heads and love to discuss the latest and greatest stuff, including their stable of boats. But they are also extremely friendly, approachable, helpful, and have the general mindset of promoting their love of paddling (and the safety thereof) with anyone and everyone who is interested. From my first (quite hesitant) email to a trip leader about an upcoming paddle, to the lovely trip itself, and every subsequent interaction and trip in the past year or so, I've been treated with utmost respect and welcomed into the fold with warmth. On the first paddle alone, I was given a wealth of tips and tricks of the trade from several different members, and have seen others benefit from the combined zillion years of experience and knowledge that the group as a whole has to offer. We've also had people go out of their way to help us with gear, invite us to different events, and even lend gear from time to time. The real resource is the experience and wisdom of the members, but the website is really helpful too. It offers a ton of great information about local (Southeast Louisiana and Southern Mississippi) trips, outfitters, rentals, gear suggestions, etc. Upcoming trips and events are listed here as well, including a rating of easy, moderate, strenuous, etc so you can gauge if the trip will be a good match for your skill set. There's also a link to the message board, which is a wealth of information as well and a quick way to get an answer to any paddling-related question you might have that hasn't been addressed on the website. And even the casual observer can see from the interaction there that there's a lot of good-natured teasing and a good dose of dry humor as well. The group offers different training classes and such at different events - Paddlefest (usually at the end of October) had tons of great classes on paddling, outdoor cooking, and even a tarp demonstration last year, and much of the same (and then some) is planned for 2012. They also do demo days, where members bring a ton of different boats for folks to try out and get a feel for, since it's so hard to tell how a boat handles until you're actually in it and paddling. Self rescue clinics are usually conducted at some point during the year as well. Your membership dues also include a membership in the ACA, which comes with a subscription to one of four paddling magazines and a host of other resources. Non-members are welcome to do club trips, but a signed waiver and a small fee ($5 per person I think) will be required so the club can satisfy its requirements with the ACA as a Paddle America Club. Most of the regulars are quite adept, but skill level varies greatly especially with some of the newer members. There aren't a whole lot of kids involved with the group at the moment, but don't let that scare you off if you're looking to get into paddling as a family. With the right trip (not too long, plenty of breaks, an easy and kid-friendly waterway), a well-behaved child will be more than welcome. My little one has been on numerous trips with the club and has always had a blast. I don't need to tell you about the benefits of paddling itself. Unplugging and getting away from the world for a bit and immersing yourself in the beautiful outdoors either appeals to you, or it doesn't. If you enjoy (or would like to enjoy) paddling and wouldn't mind spending more time on the water and sharpening your skills, this is the group for you. I really can't recommend these guys (and girls!) enough.
