Q&A

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

A: Great question! There's no specific age limit, but I recommend this for kids 8 and up. They might enjoy the airboat ride and plantation tour more at that age. Just keep in mind the ride can be a bit bumpy and loud, so little ones might not have the best time. Make sure they wear ear protection if they're sensitive to noise!

Q: How's the food at Houmas House? Is it really gourmet?

A: Yes! The lunch at Houmas House is absolutely gourmet. We had a three-course meal that included locally sourced ingredients and it was delicious! The ambiance is lovely too, with great views. Definitely a highlight of the day for us!

Q: What should we wear for this experience? Is it muddy?

A: Wear comfortable clothes that can get muddy! The airboat ride and the plantation tour can involve some walking on uneven surfaces. Sneakers or water-resistant shoes are best. Also, bring a light jacket if you're going in the cooler months since it can get breezy on the boat.

Thinking of gifting the airboat ride and plantation tour!

I’m considering this experience for my parents who are visiting New Orleans. They love history and nature, so the combo of the airboat ride and the plantation tour seems perfect. Has anyone done this? What did you think of the airboat ride specifically? I’m curious about the pace and if it’s suitable for a relaxing afternoon!

Just did the airboat ride and plantations tour—wow!

I can’t recommend this experience enough! Our private airboat tour was such a thrill, zipping through the cypress swamps. We spotted so many gators! Plus, the guided tour at Laura Plantation was eye-opening. The lunch at Houmas House was the cherry on top—so delicious! Definitely a full day, but worth every penny.
