Bayou St. John by Kayak Tour: New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tour -
New Orleans is bordered by swamp and river, but did you know that you can take a kayak tour in the heart of the city? Bayou St. John is yet another beautiful neighborhood in New Orleans with an expansive waterway cutting its way right through the middle. This kayak tour takes you down this waterway through lush neighborhoods and highlights famous homes, buildings, and historic sites along the way. Bonus: Unlike most swamp tours that take you away from the city this one is a mere 10 minute drive from the French Quarter.

Experience something different in Bayou St. John. This residential neighbourhood sits alongside a waterway into the Mississippi, where you can go kayaking or paddle-boarding whilst taking in the sights! If you happen to visit in May, you will find that the Bayou hosts a three-day festival here called ‘Bayou Boogaloo’. I have heard it’s a lot of fun!

The 12 Best City Tours in New Orleans
kaylee (Kaylee Giacomini) Whenever I check out a new city I like to orient myself with the local landmarks and culture by embarking on a city tour. Moving to New Orleans presented me with the conflicting identity of not necessarily being a tourist, yet not exactly being a local either. I believe that it’s important to be a tourist in your own city - to get to know it inside out and understand why it’s so beloved. Unsure how to do this? The best way to start is to take a tour. In my years living in New Orleans, I’ve had the privilege of taking quite a few; here are my favorites.The Best Neighbourhoods in New Orleans
