Do you feel the need to move quickly? If yes, I can arrange for the ideal tour for you in Louisiana! Did you know that you can zipline over the swamps in Louisiana? A lot of swamp tours take you out on the canals in airboats or swamp boats. Definitely one of the more unusual things to do in Louisiana is the zipline tour.

One of Louisiana's newest attractions, Zip NOLA, is rapidly scaling new heights.
A opportunity to soar over the marshes zip line-style is one of the most interesting experiences offered by the adventure park south of New Orleans, which opened in 2022.

To join, a person must weigh a minimum of 45 pounds and a maximum of 280 pounds (looks like ill just have to watch this adventure). Participants in the zip line adventure need to be in reasonably good physical health and able to climb stairs. Crocs—even in athletic mode—do not qualify as closed-toe footwear. You wouldn't want to end yourself in the marshes without a shoe!

You will receive all necessary safety gear, which includes a harness, a helmet, and a safety instruction. On your 1-1.5 hour guided swamp zip line excursion, a friendly guide will be by your side every step of the way, so don't worry. In relation to helmets, do inquire for one upon arrival; they do have them equipped with a go-pro mount.
