What To Expect

Mississippi River

This 2-hour swamp tour of New Orleans starts with pickup from your downtown hotel. After a 35-minute drive along the Mississippi River by air-conditioned van, you'll arrive at your destination.

Barataria Preserve

Meet your airboat captain and settle into your seat on the 16-passenger vessel, then prepare for a wild ride into the swamp. Powered by a 454 Chevy engine and propelled by huge fans, the airboat travels at speeds up to 25 miles per hour (40 kph). The captain performs exhilarating high-speed maneuvers, cruises at gentle speeds, and makes plenty of photo stops while narrating on the wildlife and local flora. Alligator sightings are common in these waters, but your guide is trained to ensure safety at all times during this family-friendly outing. After your tour concludes, relax with transport back to your hotel in New Orleans.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Loved this tour! The coach that picked us up was really nice and on time. Comfortable ride out to the swamp tour. Very organized and easy to board the boat. It was a blast!! We enjoyed everything about the tour. Saw alligators and learned about the area. Matt was a great guide - informative and fun! I would love to go again.

Fun experience, would recommend for friends and families. It was a cold day but we’re lucky enough to see a couple gators bathing in the sun. Staff was fantastic and helpful. Thank you Captain Dewie for the fun surprise🐊
