Q&A
A: It's best to wear closed-toe shoes since it can get a bit bumpy on the airboat. Dress in layers too, as it can be hot out on the water but cooler in the shade of the swamp. Sandals might not be the best idea, especially if you’re walking around the plantation.
A: There isn't a strict weight limit, but the airboat is designed to hold about 14 passengers comfortably. Just keep in mind that if you're in the larger size range, it might be a tight fit with all the other guests. It’s always good to call ahead if you have concerns.
A: If the weather gets rough, they will reach out to you to reschedule or refund. Just make sure to check their cancellation policy before booking. They are pretty flexible, especially since the airboat tour is heavily weather-dependent.

Is the airboat tour really worth it?
I’m considering gifting the Airboat and Plantations Tour with Gourmet Lunch to my parents while they’re in New Orleans. They love history and good food! Has anyone done this? What was the best part of the experience? I’m curious about the food especially!
Thinking of taking the family on this airboat tour!
I saw this Airboat and Plantations Tour with Gourmet Lunch, and I'm thinking it would be a great family outing. Have you guys tried it before? Is it good for kids? My daughter is 10 and loves nature!
