New Orleans Pedal Barge operates in New Orleans, Louisiana, offering a range of water-based tours and pedal pub experiences that highlight Bayou Bienvenue, local wildlife, and neighborhood culture.
The company runs themed party boats—including tiki-style vessels and larger party cruisers—that accommodate groups up to 25 guests, plus smaller private pontoons for up to six passengers. Several itineraries blend entertainment and education: a Bayou & Wildlife Alligator EcoTour aboard heated boats with restrooms invites wildlife viewing about seven miles from the French Quarter, while a Sunset Cocktail Cruise & Seafood Boil combines crab trapping, a cocktail class, hands-on cooking, and a local seafood meal. NolaBikeBar collaborations produce two-hour pedal pub-crawl tours through Mid-City and the Irish Channel, stopping at breweries, distilleries, and dive bars. Additional offerings include The Party Queen, The Freaky Tiki, The Twerkin' Tiki, The Bayou Boogie, a Walk on the Wall Side guided mural tour led by artist Jamar D. Pierre through the Tchoupitoulas Art Corridor, and a Louisiana Coastal Birding Tour. Rentals feature Bluetooth sound systems and coolers filled with ice; some vessels allow guests to bring their own drinks and snacks. Private and public options make these experiences suitable for families, celebrations, and corporate outings.
