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 tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions about the animals and the area. Lovely airboat ride (the small one) and lots of gators!

My family and I had an amazing time on this swamp tour, which was led by a local guide (Chaz) who was super knowledgable and personable! We learned a lot, saw a few gators and even got to hold a little guy who was very cute. The airboat was quite fast at top speed, so had a nice thrill to the ride. From what I could tell this is a small, family-run operation and it was not crowded with tourists. It was great and I highly recommend this company!

My friends and I took the large airboat swamp tour and had a blast. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. He brought us to some incredible spots in the swamp and marshes. We got to see a number of gators and a variety of other wildlife. The scenery was gorgeous and well worth the trip!
