This small-group airboat tour near New Orleans lasts about four hours and 15 minutes, including hotel pickup and drop-off in downtown New Orleans. The group size is limited to nine passengers to keep the experience personal and uncrowded. The tour begins with a transfer from hotels in New Orleans to the swamp area, located about 35 minutes away. The main part of the tour is a one hour and 40 minute airboat ride through Barataria Preserve. The airboat travels at speeds up to 35 miles per hour on shallow waters where traditional boats cannot go. The boat has stadium seating so every passenger has a clear view of the surroundings. The local captain provides a guided tour, slowing down at times for wildlife viewing and photos. Depending on the season, guests may see alligators, which are more active in warmer months, along with birds such as bald eagles, pelicans, ospreys, and owls. The airboat is propelled by a powerful fan that blows air at over 200 miles per hour from the back of the boat. Food and drinks are not included, and gratuities are not part of the price. The tour is not suitable for pregnant women or guests who cannot board the boat without assistance. Children must be at least 48 inches tall to participate. Service animals are allowed but may be affected by noise and wildlife; emotional support animals are not permitted. Guests should note that alligator sightings cannot be guaranteed, especially during winter hibernation.
