A one-boat, owner-operated Venetian gondola glides through City Park’s lagoons—quiet, scenic, and surprisingly New Orleans. Endorsed by local publications and City Park, it’s a romantic pause amid live oaks and waterbirds.
Unique experience in New Orleans. When you meet someone who truly loves what they do, is rare, it was a pleasure to meet Robert and Bella Mae(gondola). My mom and I loved going through Big Lake and passing under the bridges, seeing the huge oak trees, ducks and turtles.

We booked a gondola ride to celebrate a special anniversary in December. Everything was easy to book and was promptly confirmed. Robert made the experience amazing and even better than our already high expectations! We chose the sunset gondola ride and were able to experience the local wildlife, peace of cruising serene waters in the beautiful gondola, a majestic sunset and the spectacle of Christmas lights in City Park. We would highly recommend this experience any time of year!

Robert was great. Helped get me to the meeting point which helped a ton. Once there he assisted with the gondola, offered ice for our drinks to be on chill and took me and my boo on a great ride around Big Lake. It was a nice close out to what was an amazing trip to NOLA.

It was amazing and relaxing taking this gondola ride along the New Orleans Museum of Art and looking at their art while enjoying a peaceful gondola ride. It was perfect weather as well to go around 6pm.
It was great to hear his story of how he brought the one and only gondola ride to New Orleans and how he’s survived while facing adversity throughout the years to continue to bring everyone a memorable gondola experience!
It’s perfect for special occasions as well like wedding proposals! He’s witnessed over 800 on that gondola alone!
