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.

Our tour guide showed us the beauty and animals of the swamp. There were so many Gators and other animals. We also got to learn a lot about the animals and also hold a baby gator

There were so many options to choose from - we are so glad we chose this one! Our tour guide was AMAZING. He was extremely knowledgeable. Great sense of humor. Knew exactly where to go to meet the gators.

The airboat was a fun and educational experience. The air boat catches some speed once you get into open water so you get some fresh Cajun AC, as our tour guide put it (as opposed to the regular boat that goes fairly slow). We spotted several alligators and our tour guide fed them marshmallows and even petted them. Only complain would be that it was hot and there’s no shade so we were sweating a lot and my legs got sun burned- but other wise i’m very happy with the ride.

Thank you for the 5 star review. We appreciate the very positive comments. Sorry about your sunburn. That was outside our control.
