Canal St Ferry

Alternative Transportation with Unique Views

Description

Travel across the great Mississippi River by taking the historic Canal Street Ferry. Instead of driving over bridges or taking a taxi, choose this more memorable route and have fun while you're doing it. Since 1827, the ferry has offered both amazing views of the New Orleans skyline and plenty of opportunity to see natural wildlife. Blend in with the locals who are regular commuters from Algiers to downtown New Orleans. Leave the car behind and ride as many times as you like for free, or bring the car and cash to pay your way across. Be sure to have a camera out and be ready when settled in port side or starboard, as there will surely be amazing snapshots of the city, particularly at sunrise or sunset. In any case, the Canal Street Ferry offers a unique perspective of the Big Easy.
