What To Expect

Barataria Preserve

Board the 9 passenger airboat where your licensed USCG captain is awaiting your arrival. Each captain is a native of the area and will entertain you on this 1 hour 40 minute airboat adventure. The trip is part ride and part tour, where your captain stops to talk about the wildlife and flora of the swamps. You will get close to gators during the warmer days of the year. Yes, gators do hibernate, but in warmer days of the winter they will often be caught sunning themselves on the bank. Each trip is different and unique; you never know what you will view along the way. During the trip, the captain will supply the group with Champagne and flutes for the group to celebrate their experience. As the captain returns to the swamp tour dock, you will get 15 minutes to stretch your legs, use the restroom and visit the gift shop. Your driver will be at the dock awaiting your return back to your original pickup location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Small Airboat Ride with Tranportation from New Orleans?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
