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.

Wonderful afternoon out of NOLA. Captain Ernie was quite knowledgeable and was a barrel of laughs to boot.

We had a great time. Brad, the captain and tour guide, went the extra mile to show us wildlife and talk about the history and ecology of the area. It's a really professional operation, and run by locals who know what they are talking about. Highly recommend.

It was a great tour & the best tour guide ever. We saw so many gators! Unfortunately we were shortened 25 min out of our booked 2 hour tour which was very unfortunate.

I'm not sure where the miscommunication took place, but our tours are always scheduled for 1 hour and 40 minutes, not 2 hours. We are glad that you did enjoy your tour. Thank you for the feedback.
