- Barataria Preserve - Drive along the Mississippi River to reach your destination in the swamps. This tour is a combination of both a swamp tour and an airboat ride. Your tour guide will stop on your journey to allow for photos and alligator encounters! This airboat is a larger capacity vessel with the ability to seat up to 16 passengers. This is perfect for larger groups. The seating on your airboat is stadium style seating, so anyone seated in front of you will not be obstructing your view.
Each airboat tour is unique and unscripted, you never know what’s going to be waiting for your group behind the next turn. Airboats are driven by a 454 Chevy Engine, bringing speeds of your boat up to 25 miles an hour. Airboats are propelled by a large fan that blow air behind the vessel. On this tour, you will reach places and visit areas which normal boats and vehicles are unable to access.

So much fun, and so memorable! - We had a truly excellent adventure out on the airboat tour yesterday! We saw so many alligators, raccoons, and birds, and we even saw an owl! Our tour guide was very informative and funny, this was a super memorable family adventure on our trip to NOLA! We’d absolutely recommend this tour!

Despite rain or shine - Despite the rain or shine. Didn’t matter for this tour. They delivered across the board with factual knowledge of the swaps and the entertainment of the alligators. The views were great and the ride on an airboat is always fun and unforgettable.
Captain BeBop is the best and try to ride the air with him. His local knowledge of the swaps and 20 plus years of touring is exceptional.

Great tour and even better tour guide. - This was such an amazing experience. Our guide , Ernie, was really funny and made an effort to educate us on the alligators and other interesting facts. He was funny , made sure we saw some alligators, and was overall such a great experience. I will be coming back with my family and I am going to request if Ernie can be my guide. I highly recommend doing this swamp tour and bring a hat if it’s in the summer because it does get warm.

Alligator 101 - This was such a great experience! Our tour guide, Ernie, was really knowledgeable. All 3 kids had a great time! We even got to hold a baby alligator. We learned so much about alligators and how they are misrepresented in tv and movies. I highly recommend this tour!
