New Orleans Swamp Tour

Really get to know New Orleans by taking an airboat swamp tour.  Airboats are high speed, open boats without a top.  They have the ability to zip through the bayou and squeeze into tiny hidden canals that are inaccessible to other boats.  You’ll get to see some of the most beautiful and secluded parts of Louisiana.

You get an up-close look at the wildlife native to Louisiana like alligators, turtles, and birds.  And you learn a lot on this tour, too.  Your expert captain/guide tells you fascinating facts about the bayou.

Discover the wild side of Louisiana on a high speed airboat tour!  Bald eagles, pelicans, gulls, osprey and herons are common sights on the tour.  And so are alligators.

Alligators hibernate between the end of October and mid-February.  Swamps are shallower and warmer in the winter than river basins, so you can see them year round here.

The boat captains know where to find alligators.  The gators get very close, close enough that you can actually look into their eyes.

Your tour will be from the banks of the Bayou Barataria in the heart of the most dynamic ecosystem of North America.  You will be exploring Treasure Isle Swamps.

A tour in an airboat is an educational swamp tour plus a high speed airboat ride.  The boats were designed to take you to inaccessible areas of the swamp that you cannot reach by foot or car.

While you can go fast, the tour will also slow down and stop for pictures.  The airboat has stadium style seating so the person in front of you will not obstruct your view.

Tour departure location is 9706 Barataria Blvd in Marrero, Louisiana.  It is approximately 35 minutes from New Orleans.
