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 ...read more

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 coul...read more

MUST try combo experience!!!
This boat tour + Cajun boil combo experience is a MUST!!! Easily the highlight of our weekend vacation in New Orleans! First we learned how to put together a boil in a hands on demo and while it soaked (cooked) we took a relaxing and informative cruise through the nearby wetlands. We got to see a lot of wildlife and learn about local ecology, history, and conservation. When we arrived back at the wharf, the boil was waiting for us and we got to dig in! The whole experience was laid back, relaxin...read more

Wow—thank you for such an incredible review! We're honored that our Seafood Boil & Wetlands Cruise was the highlight of your New Orleans weekend.
One of our favorite things about this experience is bringing people together to enjoy authentic Louisiana culture—not just by eating a Cajun seafood boil, but by learning how it's made, getting out on the water, and exploring the beautiful wetlands that make this area so special. We're thrilled you enjoyed the hands-on boil demonstration, the wildlife, and learning about our local history and conservation efforts.
Making our guests feel like they're spending the afternoon with friends is exactly the atmosphere we strive to create, so your kind words mean a lot to our entire crew.
Thank you for recommending us over the other boat tours in New Orleans. We truly appreciate your support and can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure.
Until then, laissez les bons temps rouler!

The Most Authentic Experience in New Orleans — Hands Down
Of all the experiences New Orleans has to offer, THIS should be at the top of your list — every single time you visit the Big Easy.
There are countless things to do in New Orleans: incredible food, music, tours, cooking classes, history, nightlife… but Brian and Captain Pip have mastered something much rarer: making you feel like family from the moment you arrive.
Brian welcomed us in immediately with drinks, warm hospitality, and a hands-on walkthrough of the seafood boil prep, while Captain ...read more

we're honestly blown away by your incredible review.
Knowing that you've spent so much time in Louisiana makes your words even more meaningful. There is no greater compliment than hearing that our experience helped your sister and friend truly see, smell, taste, and feel what makes this place we call home so special.
From washing crawfish and chopping vegetables to pulling crab traps, cruising through the wetlands, and sharing stories of growing up in St. Bernard Parish, our goal has always been to create something that's more than just another tour. We want every guest to leave feeling like they experienced the real Louisiana—and became part of the family while they were here.
Our passion for Cajun cooking and Southern hospitality is contagious, and we're grateful you recognized the heart he puts into every seafood boil. Captain Pip never gets tired of sharing stories about the bayou, the history of our community, and the importance of protecting our disappearing wetlands.
Thank you for trusting us with your vacation and for recommending us so wholeheartedly. Reviews like yours remind us why we do what we do.
The next time you're back in New Orleans, your seat on the boat is already waiting, the seafood pot will be boiling, and we'll be ready to welcome you home.
