Q&A

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

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but kids must be at least 4 years old to ride. The airboat can get loud and bumpy, so I recommend bringing noise-canceling headphones for younger kids. Also, be aware that the ride can be intense for some, so it’s best for adventurous little ones!

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather conditions aren’t safe for the airboat ride. They'll usually notify you a day before if there’s a concern, and you can choose a new date. Just keep an eye on the forecast and check your email for updates!

Q: What should I wear for the airboat tour?

A: Wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes since it can get a bit wet on the airboat. I’d also suggest bringing sunglasses and sunscreen. If you can, dress in layers because it can be cool in the morning and really warm by the time you're at the plantation!

Just did the Airboat and Plantation tour, and wow!

I went on the airboat swamp tour last weekend, and it was such a blast! Our guide was super knowledgeable and funny. We saw a bunch of alligators and even some baby ones! Then, we headed to Destrehan Plantation, which was really beautiful and had a lot of history. I loved the mix of adventure and learning. Totally recommend it for anyone visiting New Orleans!

Thinking of gifting the airboat tour, need advice!

I want to surprise my parents with this airboat swamp tour and plantation visit. My dad loves nature, and my mom enjoys history. Do you think they’ll like it? Any tips on how to make it special for them?
