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 swamp tour and air boat ride was excellent. The boat is loud but ear protection is provided. It was exciting to see so many alligators of every size. Our guide had a great deal of knowledge about them and even spotted an alligator nest to show us. It was exciting and adventurous. This tour company is very organized and everyone seemed to be having a good time. You also see many different birds.

We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the starting point of the ride. There is a small gift shop. We enjoyed our airboat ride. Saw many alligators.

Captain Larry was an absolute amazing tour guide on our airboat tour, we could not have asked for a better one! The airboat was definitely not as fast and we expected, should have definitely been faster, from the website it shows the large airboats should go 35 mph and we didn't go that fast. But Captain Larry made an unforgettable tour and we will be back !
