Zip the Bayou: New Orleans Gator Glide Zipline Adventure

There is no age limit, but riders must weigh at least 45 lbs and no more than 280 lbs. Younger children must be able to climb stairs independently and feel comfortable zipping alone. These weight limits are strictly enforced at check-in.

The ideal time depends on the season. In summer, morning and evening tours are cooler. In cooler months, midday tours are preferred. Evening tour times range from 2:00 to 6:00 PM, depending on sunlight.

Every season offers a unique experience. Spring and summer bring lush greenery and abundant wildlife. Winter months offer better visibility due to less foliage. New Orleans mild winters still provide opportunities to see alligators.

Riders must weigh between 45 and 280 lbs. This is strictly enforced at check-in for safety reasons and cannot be waived. If you are close to the weight limit, please weigh yourself before booking. Riding under the influence of drugs or alcohol is also prohibited.

Wear casual clothing and closed-toe shoes (no sandals, Chacos, Crocs, or 5-fingered shoes). Check the weather beforehand and consider bringing a backpack or drawstring bag for personal items.

No, mosquitoes are rarely encountered during zipline swamp tours, especially during daylight hours. Dragonflies help control their numbers.

Round-trip shuttle from downtown New Orleans is available but has very limited availability. Book the shuttle option early if you need it. The zipline course is in LaPlace, about 25 minutes west of downtown. If the shuttle is full, you can drive yourself (free parking at the facility) or take an Uber/Lyft. If you rideshare, we recommend scheduling your return trip in the app before you arrive since the area is less covered than downtown.
