The New Orleans Large Airboat Swamp Tour with Hotel Transportation lasts about four hours and fifteen minutes. It begins with pickup from downtown New Orleans hotels in an air-conditioned van. The van drives approximately 35 minutes along the Mississippi River to Barataria Preserve. Upon arrival, guests meet the airboat captain and board a large 16-passenger airboat powered by a 454 Chevy engine. The airboat can reach speeds up to 25 miles per hour and offers a mix of fast maneuvers and slower cruising with several stops for photos. The captain provides informative narration about local plants, animals, and the swamp environment during the roughly one hour and 40 minute ride. Alligator sightings are common but not guaranteed, especially during winter months when they hibernate. The tour is family-friendly and includes a professional guide. After the airboat portion, the van returns guests to their hotels in New Orleans. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. Guests must be at least 48 inches tall to participate, and pregnant women are not allowed on the tour. Service animals are permitted but not recommended due to noise and wildlife. Emotional support animals are not permitted. Folding wheelchairs can be brought on the van, but assistance boarding the van must be provided by the guest or their party. The airboat is not handicapped accessible and requires guests to board and disembark without assistance from staff.
