Highlights
- Mississippi River - Drive along the Mississippi River to reach your destination in the swamps.
- Barataria Preserve - This tour is a combination of both a swamp tour and an airboat ride. Your tour guide will stop on your journey to allow for photos and alligator encounters! This airboat is a larger capacity vessel with the ability to seat up to 16 passengers. This is perfect for larger groups. The seating on your airboat is stadium style seating, so anyone seated in front of you will not be obstructing your view.
Each airboat tour is unique and unscripted, you never know what’s going to be waiting for your group behind the next turn. Airboats are driven by a 454 Chevy Engine, bringing speeds of your boat up to 25 miles an hour. Airboats are propelled by a large fan that blow air behind the vessel. On this tour, you will reach places and visit areas which normal boats and vehicles are unable to access.

Fun tour - Fun tour, Tour guide was nice and got to see lots of animals. Went touring in the swamp not just outer banks. Did the Airboat tour think its cool to do one time.

Fell in love with aligators - Highly recommend at this time of the year. This was my second visit since 2019 and I brought my coworkers with me this time as we were in town for a conference. Ernie was very informative and you could feel how much he loved and respected the environment and the gaters! We did happen to be here during mating season so not too many older males but luckily we did get to see one and a whole bunch of younger alligators. Captain Ernie has a biology background and shared some new facts with us and was kind enough to take questions regarding how alligators mate 🤣 This is a thrill ride and can be noisy but they have earphones you can use to help drown out the noise. Wear your sunscreen, hate, and shades. Bring a water! Worth the trip!

Airboat swamp tour with Ian! - So much fun on the airboat swamp tour today! Our guide Ian was super fun and very knowledgeable. We saw lots of gators and beautiful swamp areas. Got or hold a baby gator and learned a lot about them and their habitat. Would recommend for sure. Hold your hate and ladies out your long hair in a pony tail. It’s windy!!

Great Airboat tour - Well worth it!! We had a great time. Our guide was informative and funny. Saw lots of gators and learned a lot about the swamp and marsh of Louisiana. The airboat is the way to go if you can do it.

Great fun - Great fun! Saw lots of alligators, birds and a snake. Airboat was fast and the captain (Trey?), was funny and entertaining. Baby alligator to handle was beautiful. Well worth the drive from NO and the money
