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.

Fantastic tour, would definitely recommend using Louisiana Tour Company! We did the large airboat tour and had a fantastic time exploring the bayous and swamp. Or Captain was great fun, would stop sometimes so we could see gators or other animals close up, but didn't stop every time so the tour does nicely and we got to see more of the area. The captain clearly loves this area and would tell us interesting facts about it - loved the fact that we actually learned more about the swamp and the gators as well as enjoying the airboat tour itself. Cannot fault and would definitely recommend this company. Recommend wearing the ear protectors provided as it can be loud!

One of the best parts of our short little getaway! We were in a small 6 person group and the air boat operator was amazing. Extremely funny, responsible, very knowledgeable about his city and answered everyone's questions fully and articulately. Would definitely experience this again!
