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 had a great time. Dewey was our guy and he was a great tour guide, knowledgeable and had his own small alligator on board for us all to hold. He tried several times to get a gator to come on board but they were not cooperating. A lot of fun.

We did the large fan boat gator tour it was a great time! It was a bit chilly but with coats and the ear protection they provide it wasnt bad at all. We saw at least 10 gators and stopped at a few spots and our Tour guide answered all our questions. We’ll definitely be back probably during mating season so we can see some bigger ones!
