Incredible Evening with great food
Beyond the French Quarter did an outstanding job and thought of everything to make our experience memorable. It was an easy Lyft ride from downtown and an interesting ride outside the city seeing another side of the Bayou. Chef Pipp was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining and we felt like we were in good hands navigating into the wild life area as he pointed out all of the birds we had never seen before and pointing out the alligators swimming around. My husband had fun helping chop the food and pull up the crab pots for the seafood boil. It was amazing! Delicious!! There was a very nice assortment of beverage available for us to purchase, which made the whole experience easy and fun for us to sit back, relax and enjoy the cool vibe they've got set up right on the water. We would actually do it again, which is rarely the case for our Cool Broadway experiences which tend more to be one time deals. We highly recommend. THANKS CAPTAIN PIPP!!

Everything we hoped for in a swamp boat tour!
This was our first time to Louisiana and we wanted a genuine swamp tour, and boy did we get one! Our guide, Jay, is a bonafide Cajun (a direct descendant of Jean Lafitte himself) and he was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we asked, from history, to ecology, and botany. He wowed us immeasurably when he pulled the boat off into a little bay inside the swamp and started shouting Cajun French out into the trees, and lo and behold no fewer than four alligators came out to greet us, the largest of which he kissed on the mouth! When we return to southern Louisiana, and whenever we have friends visit, we will be doing/recommending this tour and we will be asking for Jay!

A great way to experience Luisiana!
If you are looking for a fun, educational day, the New Orleans Nature and Wildlife Boat Tour and Crab Boil is the way to go! Their site was easy to use and book. The hosts Captain Brian and Emmett allowed us to participate in pulling crab traps, prepare and eat fresh seafood, which gave us a truly authentic experience. They made sure everyone having a good time and treated us like family. It was really interesting to learn of the companies involvement in local restoration efforts. I highly recommend this company.

Come Hungry, Leave Feeling Like Family — Book This!!
This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to New Orleans! We had so much fun, and it honestly felt like we were getting to experience a real Louisiana family tradition instead of just going on another tour. We learned all about the culture behind Cajun seafood boils and how they bring families and communities together, and even got to pull up crab traps off the dock and add the crabs to our boil! Such a cool experience!The guides were amazing and made everyone feel so welcome. You could tell they genuinely love what they do, and their passion for sharing their lifestyle really shines through. The boat ride was beautiful, the food was delicious, and there was so much great conversation throughout the entire experience. If you're looking for something that feels authentic and gives you a true taste of Louisiana culture, I can't recommend this enough!

Birdwatching on the Bayou!
We booked this trip because we are getting into birding and wanted to see what the brackish waters of the Mississippi Delta might have in store. Captain Emmett was very knowledgeable about Bayou wildlife. We felt safe and comfortable on the boat whole time. We saw an alligator, herons, egrets, ibis, terns, anhinga, gulls, vultures, and an osprey. It was a success and a great way to check out the Bywater neighborhood.

We took the cruise which included the brunch. The food was okay, but it was nice was that they let you board 1 hour before and enjoy the brunch before the cruise. It had a couple of nice bars and the music was enjoyable. Comfortable and relaxing

Great day out on the water!
Our bachelorette crew had a fantastic time. Captain Pip was extremely communicative and helpful before and after the tour. We went out on the water with Captain Emmet, who was good-humored and also full of interesting facts and stories. The cooler was stocked and the selection of drinks was good. We were able to connect our playlist to the speakers and drink, dance, and admire the beauty of life beyond the French quarter!

FANTASTIC TOUR
We had a fantastic tour and we saw a lot of different alligators on our private swamp tour. Benjamin was so friendly and answered every single question we had. He gave us many information - not only about this tour - also about history and life in New Orleans. To book LA VIE NOLA was really the best decision!

Experience with La Vie NOLA
I really applaud Ben, because of his passion to make everyone's trip the best possible. He introduced us to Rodney who showed us so many tricks that he does with the alligators, like calling them with their name and making his special sound.Ben then took for lunch at the Oak Alley plantation and for a tour of the Laura Plantation, which was truly memorable. All in all a fantastic experience and all credit goes to Ben for planning it superbly.
