Avast! There be Pirates in the Bay!
This fun 1.5-hour waterfront tour includes the costumed pirate Blackbeard who captures you and your crew and takes you back to the days of bucaneers and sailing ships.
Guests will hear the swashbuckling secret history of pirates, sing a sea chanty, learn to talk like a real pirate, and see a bit of sword fighting! We’ll start with the famous pirate and patriot Jean Lafitte, and include the stories of several other local pirates from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The tour begins near the entrance of the Riverview Hotel near the NE corner of Government and Royal Street.
Paid parking is available next door at the city parking deck. Free parking is available at Mardi Gras Park, or across from the fort.
