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.

Frankly It was a lot more fun than I expected. My daughter wanted to go because she had never been in the swamps nor on an air boat. I grew up around them. The day was perfect and we zipped from lakes to bayous to canals and saw gators big and small along with a variety of beautiful birds and turtles. I was really surprised at how the boat captains interacted up close and persona with a 13-ft gator. Again, I grew up around these animals but gave plenty of distance to any gator over 6-feet. I highly recommend.

We took an large airboat ride with Captain Ernie! Had a great time, saw lots of alligators, and learned a lot about the ecosystem. Captain Ernie was very knowledgable! Thank you!

Larry was an excellent tour guide. Informative, funny, and with a true local flair. We saw several alligators and much of the swamplands before a huge storm hit and we had to go back. Larry got us back to the dock quickly but it made the tour all the more fun and a great story! Would do this again. It was well worth the money!
