The Guide
Kim Voorhies has been guiding in the Atchafalaya Basin for decades. This family-operated business has spent a lifetime hunting, fishing, exploring, and working in these wetlands, gaining the deep local knowledge needed to safely access areas that few visitors ever see.
With years of experience leading photography tours, group sightseeing trips, and supporting film and video crews, Kim brings unmatched familiarity with the Basin’s waterways, wildlife, and seasonal conditions. Whether you’re a photographer, a naturalist, or part of a production team, you’ll be guided by someone who knows the Atchafalaya from a lifetime spent on the water.
The Boats
Nature Tour Boat
The Atchafalaya Basin is a demanding place for boats. Our boats are double hulled Aluminum powered by Mercury 4 Cycle Outboards. Outboards are used instead of airboats to allow access to parts of the basin where airboats are not allowed and to minimize disturbance to wildlife.
Netting is provided around the boat to provide protection from the invasive Jumping Carp now infesting the Basin.
All safety equipment including the required live jackets are provided on the boats. The Atchafalaya Experience is fully commercially insured.
