Swamp Kayak Tours

Zip Nola × Voodoo Swamp Tours

Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Louisiana’s wild beauty with our guided Swamp Kayak Tour—exclusively offered through the partnership of Zip Nola and Voodoo Swamp Tours. This one-of-a-kind experience takes place on private swamp property, giving you access to untouched waterways and a more intimate, immersive adventure you won’t find on any other tour.

What to Expect

Paddle through calm, cypress-lined waters on a 1 hour 15 minute guided tour designed for all experience levels. Our knowledgeable guides lead the way, sharing stories, pointing out hidden wildlife, and bringing the swamp to life around you.

A Swamp Steeped in History & Lore

As you glide through the waterways, you’ll uncover the fascinating—and mysterious—history of the Village of Frenier. Once a thriving settlement, Frenier is now known for its rich cultural past, hurricane devastation, and enduring legends tied to the swamp.

Our guides share stories of the village’s past alongside its deep-rooted voodoo lore, where tales of spiritual rituals, curses, and unexplained events have been passed down for generations. Whether history or legend, the swamp holds onto its secrets—and you’ll feel them as you move through it.

Wildlife Encounters

The swamp is alive—and you’re right in the middle of it. Keep an eye out for:

  • Alligators basking along the banks
  • Turtles, snakes, and other native reptiles
  • Great blue herons, egrets, owls, and other bird species
  • White-tailed deer, wild boar, nutria, and other swamp mammals

Every tour is different, and every turn brings a new discovery.

Native & Invasive Ecosystems

This isn’t just a tour—it’s an up-close look at one of Louisiana’s most unique ecosystems. Learn to identify:

  • Native plants like cypress trees, irises, and swamp lillies that define the swamp
  • Invasive species such as water hyacinth and nutria, and how they impact the environment
  • The delicate balance that keeps the swamp thriving
