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.

I appreciated the mix of environment with the animal behavior discussion. The swamp was beautiful and we got to see how wide and amazing the Mississippi River is first hand.

Valerie_G

This experience was AWESOME!!! Did the small boat tour with Trey. He zoomed us through the bayou with skill - exhilarating! His knowledge of gators is extensive and his love and respect for them really shines through. We got up close to dozens of gators and saw a few real big boys! So much fun - I’ll do it again on our next trip to NOLA. Thanks Trey for a wonderful afternoon of adventure!

Natiah_R

So much fun! We saw gators big and small and in abundance! Our guide Trey was awesome, so knowledgeable and very hands on. 10/10 would highly recommended.

Amber_E

So amazing. By far the most awesome experience we had in New Orleans. It was personal and educational and fun. The animals, especially the gators were so awesome and we learned so much about them and their environments.

Tyson_S

Rocky was awesome. Usually we are critical with value and reviews but this one is worth it. No complaints

Paige_J

The small boat is the way to go (go early)! We had a blast and saw over a dozen gators. Transportation was super easy. A highlight of the trip.

Natasha_B

Absolutely brilliant swamp tour. Book the tour with hotel pickup/drop off as there were signs at the base saying it’ll be tricky to get a return Uber/lyft. The captain (I think your name was Jason (sorry!)) was brilliant. He was super interactive with gators and introduced us to fluffy. I think we were super lucky getting the guide we did. Felt completely at ease as you just knew the captain with familiar with the alligators and enjoys what he does!

Sylvia_C

Tour guide and the wildlife.---------tour guide....looking forward to seeing Fluffy grow up. Don't appreciate feeding sugar to the alligators... however, your guide shows his love for all the animals
