  • Comfortable, casual clothing is recommended. It can sometimes be slightly chilly on the water.
  • There is a ramp that allows wheelchairs and strollers to access the boat. The only requirement is that you must also be able to board the boat without assistance.
  • For guests who do not have access to a car, hotel pickup from downtown New Orleans and the French Quarter is available - select the option "Covered Swamp Tour with Transportation". Pickup is about 1 hour and 15 minutes before the tour time shown for this option.
