Itinerary

  • New Orleans (Pass By)

    This 2-hour swamp tour of New Orleans starts with pickup from your downtown hotel. After a 35-minute drive along the Mississippi River by air-conditioned van, you'll arrive at your destination.

  • Barataria Preserve

    Meet your airboat captain and settle into your seat on the 16-passenger vessel, then prepare for a wild ride into the swamp. Powered by a 454 Chevy engine and propelled by huge fans, the airboat travels at speeds up to 25 miles per hour (40 kph). The captain performs exhilarating high-speed maneuvers, cruises at gentle speeds, and makes plenty of photo stops while narrating on the wildlife and local flora. Alligator sightings are common in these waters, but your guide is trained to ensure safety at all times during this family-friendly outing. After your tour concludes, relax with transport back to your hotel in New Orleans.

Interesting and well organised tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Very well organised. Ernie was the captain in my boat and taught us many interesting things about the alligators like breeding season, behaviour, population size and current regulations in the country among others. I got to see around 4 alligators, a turtle and several birds.

Bebop was an amazing tour guide

Published on Jan, 2025

We had the most amazing experience on the winter swamp boat tour in New Orleans! The weather was perfect for exploring the bayous, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide, BeBop was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more memorable by sharing fascinating facts about the local wildlife and history including personal family experiences on the Swamp. We saw a variety of animals, from alligators and turtles to an eagles nest, and the tranquility of the swamp was something truly special. The boat ride was smooth, and the small group size made it feel like a more personalized adventure. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans—it's a unique and peaceful way to explore the area's natural beauty!

Awesome experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Dewy -our tour guide- was fantastic! He was informative, personable and funny. We were very fortunate to see many gators up close and Dewy always kept us safe. Would definitely do this tour again. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience with Trey!

Awesome experience on the bayou with Captain Trey. Hotel pickup was convenient and timely. Saw approximately 20 gators ranging in size and got to get up real close in the boat. Was a fun ride as well!
