Overview

This tour departs about 35 minutes from New Orleans and takes you to the Barataria Preserve for a 100-minute airboat ride through the swamps. The tour uses a large airboat that can seat up to 16 passengers with stadium-style seating, so your view won’t be blocked by others. The boat is powered by a 454 Chevy engine and can reach speeds up to 25 miles per hour, allowing you to access areas unreachable by regular boats or vehicles. Along the way, the guide will drive through the swamp and stop at spots for photos and possible alligator sightings. Each trip is unique and unscripted, depending on what wildlife and scenery you encounter. The tour is led by a professional local guide who ensures safety throughout the ride. This tour includes the airboat ride and guide but does not provide food, drinks, gratuities, or hotel pickup and drop-off.
