Itinerary
1
The Manchac Swamp Bridge
Explore the Manchac Swamp, the second biggest cypress swamp in North America in tandem or single sit-on-top kayaks (think stable and easy).
As you adventure through the Spanish moss laden cypress swamp, a knowledgeable guide will share stories and give an overview of the benefits and trials the swamp is currently facing.
We do NOT feed the wildlife and the animals; alligators, turtles, birds are non threatening.
2 hours
2
B&C Seafood Riverside & Cajun Restaurant
After our kayak tour, we head to B & C Seafood where we stop for an opportunity to experience some Cajun food. (You have the option to purchase food.) Step out of your comfort zone and try some fried alligator, gulf oysters, crawfish, soft shell crab, frog legs or keep it simple and get the smoked rabbit gumbo. If you don't want to push your palate, then I suggest the red beans and rice. A southern staple! After a fun lunch, we venture off to the Whitney Plantation.
1 hour
3
Whitney Plantation
The Whitney Plantation offers you an opportunity to experience the story of plantation life in Louisiana from the perspective of those enslaved. It does a good job of not glorifying the ownership.
The 45 min drive home gives you a quick chance to nap prior to hitting the town.
