Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this airboat ride?

A: There's no strict age limit, but kids as young as 5 can generally participate. Just make sure they're comfortable with the noise and speed of the airboat! It's a super fun adventure for the whole family, so don’t hesitate to bring the kiddos.

Q: Do they provide transportation from the airport or just from the French Quarter?

A: The transportation is only from the French Quarter, but they can help you get a ride to the meeting point if you're coming from the airport. Just plan to budget a little extra time and money for that!

Q: What do you wear for the airboat ride? Is it super wet?

A: Dress casually! You can definitely get splashed, so wear something comfortable and maybe even quick-dry fabric. I’d recommend bringing sunglasses and a hat too, as it can get pretty sunny out there. Enjoy!

Just went on the airboat ride — what a blast!

I just got back from the airboat ride near New Orleans, and WOW! We saw so many alligators, like way closer than I thought. Our guide was super knowledgeable and funny. The ride itself was about 1 hour and 45 minutes, which felt just right. They picked us up right from our hotel in the French Quarter too, so that was a breeze. Totally recommend this for anyone looking for a fun day out!

Thinking about gifting this airboat ride for my parents' anniversary!

My parents love nature and adventure, so I think this airboat ride could be perfect for their anniversary! I’m curious though, how easy is it to reschedule if something comes up? I want them to really enjoy it without stress. Any advice?
