What To Expect

Barataria Preserve
Travel along the Mississippi River and arrive at the departure location in Marrero, a 35 minute drive outside of New Orleans. You will be introduced to your captain and briefed quickly on procedure inside of the Airboat. Once everyone in the group is prepared to take off you captain will rev the engine. This particular airport is powered by a 454 Chevy Engine that's capable of accelerating to speeds as high as 35 miles per hour. The boat is propelled by a large fan behind the boat which can deliver wind speeds of over 200 miles per hour. This tour is fast and loud! Your tour guide will take you around the swamp and make frequent stops for you to have encounters with the wildlife. Chances are you'll probably have some reptilian visitors. The alligators have no problems making their way to the side of the boat and showing off for the visitors. After the tour of the swamp is complete you will be returned to the original departure location to make your way back to New Orleans.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It was a beautiful day to visit the swamp. Our guide, Ian, was knowledgeable and engaging. We say at least 15 gators and got to hold a baby gator named Spike! The kids said it was the best part of their vacation!

Besides the amazing experience of riding an airboat through incredible natural features in the swamps... The guide was local and had a wealth of knowledge about the area and specially the fauna. Enjoyed every second of the tour.

A fun and educational adventure! Dewey was extremely knowledgeable of the areas eco-system - we explored inlets and areas of the swamp brimming with wildlife and interesting history. Nothing 'rushed' - great fun!
