Amazing!
19 Aug 2009

This tour was so interesting, and beautiful. Our family of 4, including a 6 year old girl and 8 year old girl, took this tour on Aug 17. Kim did an amazing job taking us around the waterway of the Atchafalaya, pointing out the various bird species, plants etc. The only problem that we had was that it was a... more

We live in Texas and have family in this area of Louisiana. We come to visit often, but have decided that from now on, we are going to do one thing that is "touristy" while here. This did not let us down at all. Kim Voohries is so knowledgable, and so enthusiastic about what he does. He truly loves the... more

That morning the I-10 interstate was closed so Kim had to take the "back way" to... more

Even though we live just 35 minutes from the edge of the Atchafalaya Basin, I’ve never wanted to take one of the available swamp/nature tours because they looked so lame, especially the ones by noisy air boat. Many of the others load up 15 or 20 people and putt around barely out of sight/sound of the elevated I-10. But my... more

The Atchafalaya Basin and Lake Martin are some America’s most precious natural gems and if you are planning a visit, I bet it is in hopes of seeing some of Louisiana’s famed wildlife. If this is the case, I urge you to choose this outfit over the others in the area. This father and son team (Coerte and Kim Voorhies)... more
