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.

We were the last boat out. We lucked out with the weather. Our guide was a little spent from the day so we got the tail end of his energy though he was clearly doing his best. I had been on a more traditional slow boat swamp tour where more information was given and where we went and explored areas with other more detailed wildlife. This was purely gators and we saw many and that was good. You can’t talk on the airboat because it’s loud. We made two stops where he talked and that was interesting and he was knowledgeable. The actually riding in the airboat part was super fun.

I was a bit nervous about this trip, but it was so much fun! Highly recommend this trip. Capt. Larry was awesome, gave us lots of time to ask questions and tell us about the swamp and gators. Highly recommend!

The boat tour was the biggest thing I was looking forward to for my birthday weekend! Bernie I believe was the name of my captain and he was great. He was very knowledgeable of the area, and knew a lot about the history of NOLA and the swamp area. I really enjoyed the tour.
