Louisiana is filled with endless waterways, just waiting to be explored. Our natural landscape is some of the most beautiful in the country, and now is the perfect time to get outdoors and see it up close and in person. This unique twilight tour will give you a glimpse into the swamp life after dark in the Manchac area, and it's truly a magical experience. Let's check it out.

Canoe and kayak trails are a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Exploring the waterways at your own pace with a few friends is a simple pleasure that’s often overlooked.

Founded in 1972, Canoe and Trail Adventures is one of the most experienced outdoor guide services in Louisiana. When you’re looking to get outside and explore Louisiana’s natural landscape, this is the place to turn to.

Taking to the water during the day is one thing. The sun in your face, the breeze in your hair, being surrounded by emerald green swamps and bayous will truly give you an appreciation for some of the most beautiful scenery Louisiana has to offer.

Not to mention a great opportunity for wildlife viewing.

But taking to the swamps and bayous at night is like entering a completely different world.

Canoe and Trail Adventures offers both a Moonlight Paddle tour and a Twilight Tour, and both will give you a glimpse into what these legendary waterways look like after dark. The Moonlight Paddle Tour will guide you through the swamps under the light of the full moon, while the Twilight Tour will give you a magical sunset tour that is picture perfect. The 3-4 hour tour will launch about two hours before sunset and return about an hour and a half afterwards.

At night, the swamps come alive. Your senses will be in overdrive as you’ll have a front row seat to the symphony of sounds from the surrounding wildlife.

Whether you go with a canoe or a kayak, you’re sure to have a unique experience traversing the marshes, swamps, and bayous during this time of night. And of course, an incredible view of the sunset.

Be sure to check out their website and follow them on Facebook for more information, and to find out when the next Moonlight Paddle Trail will be.
