This review is for the Sunset tour.
First, you check in at Bayou Adventure. There you sign a waiver and get to pick a snack and drink. They will give you directions to make your way down the road a few miles where you start your tour. Ample parking.
The tour itself started around 5:30. It was a very leisurely trip down Cane Bayou to the lake. This part of the trip is not strenuous at all, so no need to worry if your not the best kayaker or out of shape.
The kayaks have a spot to store a bag and a small waterproof box for phones/wallets. We brought a backpack with water and snacks. We had towels in the car. If I could do anything different, I would bring bug spray in the kayak. We had left it in the car, but it would help the trip back in the dark. Lots and lots of mosquitos
Once you get to the lake, you get to relax for 30-45 min and watch the sunset.
On the way back, the guide will give you a headlight as you will be paddling back in the dark. This is an entirely different experience. Here you may get to see some other wildlife (possums, owls, etc...) if you catch them at the right time with your light.
While I didn’t see alligators, some people in our did see alligators.
Overall, this was an incredible experience! I would highly recommend it.
Really really wonderful day! They answered a million phone questions and the whole staff had masks on when we arrived. Basically you go to the store location and check in, then drive about 3 miles up the road and hop in your kayaks. The people at the store were so nice, and there was food, beer, and fishing stuff so you could be extra prepared. The staff at the launch spot was friendly. The boats were clean and comfy, the bayou was fun to explore and we saw alligators, heron and osprey. It was cool to get to paddle to lake poncetrain. The first half of the journey is shady, but the second half is very sunny so bring a hat and sunscreen and lots of cool beverages.
Had some friends visiting New Orleans so we spent the day renting bikes and doing a sunset kayak tour and we all had an incredible time. Shannon and the rest of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful in store and Jeff was an awesome guide during the kayak tour.
Between the biking and kayaking we had lunch at their store and the sandwiches were great, they were even kind enough to modify something on their menu to accommodate one of my vegetarian friends. As an added bonus, they have a great selection of beer!
Overall, great experience and great value.
