New Orleans Boat Cruise and Cajun Seafood Boil Experience
Carolyn_H, Sep 2026
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!!

Best swamp tour in The Big Easy
This was an incredible experience and an amazing adventure. Our guide, Captain Dewey, was incredibly knowledgeable of the swamps, knew the local wildlife, and handled that boat like a dream. We cut through the swamps with precision a she took us to a number of spots where we saw tons of wildlife. Took us to see some big gators, and even let us hold a baby gator on our tour. I will definitely be back. Higley recommend.

The tour of a lifetime!
I asked my hotel concierge which tour to book and he said this was the one. We did the 6 person tour to get the most personalized experience. Jay was our tour guide, a Barataria Island native and very knowledgeable and passionate about the area, the wildlife, fish, birds and history.The ride was fast and fun in between areas of mire exploration. We saw a cemetery that is losing ground, parts of the swamp that were widened due to forestry needs and from hurricane damage.He answered all questions and called out to the gators in French…the females came runnIng! Obviously familiar with Jay and knowing there was nothing to fear, we had 4 gators around our boat. We tossed marshmallows to them before Jay got out the hot dogs and showed us a lot of excitement with gators even up on the boat. He’d kiss them and stick his head in their mouths for a bit of fun that didn’t seem overly dangerous (just exciting) The snap of their jaws will be a sound to remember!A great time and worth every penny for the smaller tour experience.

A Great Experience in New Orleans
My mom bought this experience for me as a surprise. I have always wanted to fly a plane. This was beyond our expectations. My flight instructor Jacob is very knowledgeable and passionate about flying. He was a lot of fun and made sure we had a great experience. The young lady at the front was super sweet and made the check in process quick and easy. We would definitely do this again. Thank you Jacob!!!

Plantation & bayou tour
Our drivers Barbara & Keith were fantastic & great drivers. The plantation tour was very interesting & informative. The bayou cruise with captain Bobby was great & a highlight. Only one thing from the whole day I’d like to see change -I found it disturbing the feeding of marshmallows to the wildlife to encourage interaction. Personally I’d prefer less interaction to protect their health, wellbeing & environment. That aside the tour was a great day out & will recommend.

Audubon Zoo Ticket
Discover59087671416, Aug 2026
Fun, Educational, and Worth Bundling!
It was honestly a pretty big zoo, and they had lots of animals to show off! I did the bundle ticket that included the aquarium and the insectarium as well, however I am not from NOLA, so be aware that the zoo is in a different part of town, but the other two are in the same building. Make sure to make time for that since both places close at 5! You can definitely take your time, and even as a solo traveler I had a lot of fun reading and looking at the exhibits. It was definitely worth bundling them all together to save money. Staff were friendly and helpful with directions, and the gift shops were cute too! Make sure to bring a fan if it is hot though.

This airboat ride was far better than we expected. Our tour guide, Mike, was extremely knowledgeable about alligators and the area, and we learned a lot from him. His service was outstanding, and I highly recommend this tour.
