We recommend that everyone where clothes that they don’t mind getting a little wet. Pants and shirts that are quick drying help to make your experience more enjoyable. Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are recommended to protect you from the sun. Bringing a change of clothes is recommended even if it isn’t raining, that way if you get sweaty or wet from splashing the ride back will be dry in your clean clothes. Read more.

Generally mosquitos, flies, and other biting bugs are not very bad while on the water. If you have your own bug spray or would like to buy some to bring with you that is perfectly fine.

The short answer is yes! Alligators are a much calmer version than their cousins the crocodile. Generally alligators have a docile nature. Because they are cold blooded they spend most of the day either cooling off in the water or sun bathing on the bank. Most of their feeding and activity is done at night. Many boat tours in New Orleans feed alligators to ensure guests will be able to see them everyday. When alligators are not fed by humans they have a natural fear of humans, as we have hunted them for centuries. It is illegal to feed alligators in the nature preserve that we kayak in, so the alligators you see on our trips will not approach your kayak and have no interest in you at all. Many times we will take pictures of them from a safe distance and it adds to the wildlife experience of the tour!
