Overview

This tour offers a look at Louisiana's bayous via airboat, focusing on the natural environment near New Orleans. After pickup from a downtown or French Quarter hotel, the group travels along the Mississippi River to a swamp area in Cajun Country less than an hour away. The driver shares stories and information about the region during the trip. At Bayou Segnette State Park, passengers board a small airboat seating up to 13 people for about a 1.5-hour ride. The airboat moves through marshes and remote bayous, reaching speeds up to 45 mph (72 kph). Along the way, riders see cypress trees - the state tree of Louisiana - and may spot local wildlife. After the airboat portion, the group returns to the original hotel. The total duration of the tour is around 4 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off as well as transport in an air-conditioned van designed for 13 passengers.
