What To Expect

Mississippi River

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.

Cancellation Policy

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

I went with my husband and mother-in-law. It has been a dream of hers to go on an airboat into the swamp. This was the perfect trip for her! We got to see some great swamp wildlife and got to travel the swamps and marshes. The tour guide and captain of the boat was extremely personable, funny, and informative. We got to learn a lot about the wildlife in Louisiana. The captain goes at a slow speed to look for wildlife, then speeds up to go through straightaways. The tour provides protective ear wear which I suggest wearing because the airboat is extremely loud....especially when the boat is going fast! We will definitely be returned on our next visit to NOLA!

My girlfriend and I wanted to try something we've never done before. We decided on this tour because we wanted to get on an airboat. It was totally worth it because of our guide who was fun and an amazing driver. Initially we wanted to go with a company that had great ratings and they didn't disappoint at all. Saw the alligators and other animals and simply, the experience was a blast! Thanks Louisiana Tour Company!

The skipper was very knowledgeable abut the area, both the history and the wildlife and managed to get a number of gator sightings as well as a raccoon. He also had a baby gator which we were able to 'pet'.
