    On this tour you will experience the best of both: a swamp tour and an airboat ride.You will travel at high speeds in the airboat then slow down and stop for pictures. Along the way, you will get a personal tour by your local Captain. These airboats have stadium seating, so that the person in front of you does not obstruct your view. Every airboat seat is great for experiencing the tour and viewing the wildlife. Yes, gators will get close, real close. So close that you will be able to look into those reptilian eyes. Alligators do hibernate in the colder months, but the experienced captains know where to look for them. On average, during the winter, you have better than a 50/50 chance of seeing a gator. In the warmer months, you will always see a gator. Every New Orleans Airboat Tour is unique and you never know what will be around the next corner. The area toured is a combination of Swamp, Marsh and Lake. So you may see anything from a Bald Eagle to a Pelican to Osprey our even an Owl, its that diverse. The airboats are driven by a 454 Chevy Engine that will produce speeds of up to 35 miles an hour. They are propelled by a huge fan that will blow air from the back of the boat in excess of 200 miles an hour. These tours are truly a blast! They ride in inches of water and go places where traditional boats cannot go. The boats were designed to take you to inaccessible areas of the swamp, places that you cannot reach by foot or car. It is a unique experience.

My girlfriend and I had blast on the small airboat tour. Yes, it is loud, but they provide proper hearing protection which is highly recommended (I measured 95db at my seat). Once you’re flying around the swamps, it’s a gorgeous sight. Then the gators start swimming to the boat for a treat, and they’re beautiful. You get the feeling you are now in the nature documentary. Our guide was old hand with life experience in the swamps, and we learned a lot about the swamps and gators. Great trip, highly recommended.

This tour was the highlight of our trip! We took our kids ages 11 and 14 and they had the best time! The airboat was so fun to ride in and can go super fast which was fun in itself! But the views of the bayous and the alligators we saw were amazing and a must see if you are visiting Louisiana. I am so glad we booked this tour and highly recommend it! Our tour guide, Danny was very fun and shared many cool things about the swamp with us. Such an awesome day!

This was a fun experience! We were originally planned to ride the smaller air boat, but due to a breakdown we had to do the bigger boat. It didn’t affect our experience and they worked with us and got a refund issued to us through Viator. I do want to say that it looks like this trip is very short, but it actually lasted half a day. The boat ride was 1 hour and half and then the trip back and fourth was about 1 hour total. They had a cute little gift shop and reasonable prices. The lady in the gift shop was one of the nicest people we ran into. She was amazing!
