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.

The tour guide was knowledgable and experienced. He's a native of the area and has been around alligators all his life. You can tell he enjoys his job and has a authenic passion for the swamp and its animals. Be sure to bring your camera, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Ear protection provided.

It was a very hot day so dress for the weather. Our guide kept the boat moving most of the time so it was not bad. Definitely enjoyed the trip and learned something as well.

We are sorry about the weather conditions. It does get hot in the Summer. The good news is that gators like warm. Thank you for the 5 star review.
