Swamp Zipline Verified listing

Zip NOLA offers an exhilarating adventure just outside New Orleans, providing the world’s first fully aquatic swamp zipline experience. Located in LaPlace, Louisiana, approximately 26 miles from downtown New Orleans, this unique attraction allows visitors to soar above the Maurepas Swamp, witnessing its diverse wildlife, including alligators, turtles, and various bird species, from a safe height of 60 feet. The tour features five ziplines totalling half a mile, two sky bridges, and a spiral cypress tree staircase, all set amidst the picturesque backdrop of the swamp and Lake Pontchartrain.

The zipline tour lasts between 1 to 1.5 hours and is guided by experienced staff who ensure safety and provide informative insights into the local ecosystem. Participants must weigh between 45 and 280 pounds and be in good physical condition to handle the activity. While there is no strict age limit, younger children should be capable of walking up stairs and zipping independently. For those not participating, the facility offers a 2,000-square-foot elevated spectating deck, allowing them to enjoy the scenic views and cheer on their group.

Tours are available daily, with reservations highly recommended due to the popularity of the attraction. The base price for the zipline tour is $89 per person, with optional round-trip shuttle service from select downtown New Orleans hotels available for an additional $30 per person. Guests are advised to wear closed-toe shoes and arrive 20 minutes before their scheduled tour time. In the event of inclement weather, tours may be delayed or rescheduled, with full refunds or credits offered if necessary.
