Very fun and informative. Our Guide was very fun and made the trip very enjoyable. Saw lots of gators and bald eagles nests.

I’ve taken swamp tours with four different companies in and and around New Orleans and New Orleans Airboat tour was the best! Airboats are faster and smaller so you see so much more than the larger tour boats. We booked a “small boat tour” and had the boat and captain to ourselves. Captain Matt is part of what sets this company apart. He is authentic, born and raised locally, and very knowledgeable about the area, the wildlife, flora, and the eco system. He can “read the group” and customized our tour to our interests. He added a lot of humor and was super fun without trying too hard. It was a cool April 10am trip but the gators were very active and we saw dozens. We all got an opportunity hold a little baby alligator who was super sweet. We used their optional transportation which was a 12 passenger van and had only one other pickup, and the drive to Bayou Barataria is only 30-40 minutes from French Quarter. Communication was great and driver was right on time. While making my reservation on the phone with Russell he was super patient and helpful. He also mentioned their impeccable safety rating, and quality/maintenance of their boats. Everyone in our group said the Airboat Tour was the highlight of their vacation to NoLa.

Had a great tour with Captain Derrick. He was knowledgeable and fun. He jumped off the boat at one point and grabbed a small gator and brought it on the boat to share with the guests, even letting those who wanted to hold it to do so safely. It was awesome to see the beauty of the bayou up close.

It was a lot of fun! Be ready for a lot of wind in the face and loud fan noise. Things may fly away if you’re not careful, so hold tight to your stuff! It’s a combination of a fun ride and fascinating scenery and wildlife. We even got to hold Ripples, who is airboat captain Matt’s emotional support animal.🐊

Captain Matt was awesome. Funny knowledgable and in total control of the boat and tour. We drove ourselves out to the location, and everything ran on time. Our entire 4 person family loved it.

Thus tour was recommended and did not disappoint! Our party of eight was picked up right on time in front of our hotel by Amir; he was helpful and friendly. Our guide Captain Morgan was great, knowledgeable and had a fun sense of humor. We were on the smaller airboat which was perfect for our group. We saw several gators (one very up close). Amir was ready to drive us back after the tour ended. 100% would recommend.
