Small Airboat Tour with Transportation from New Orleans
Overview
Glide through the quiet Louisiana swamps on a small airboat tour just 30 minutes from New Orleans.
This 1 hour and 45 minute ride is a mix of gentle cruising and fast skims across open water, guided by a local who knows the bayou well. Along the way, you’ll learn about the swamp’s history and how wildlife lives here today.
With only 6–12 people per boat, the experience feels relaxed and personal. There’s plenty of time to look around, ask questions, and enjoy the scenery.
You may see alligators, raccoons, turtles, wild hogs, and many kinds of birds. Every tour is a little different, depending on the day and the animals.
This tour is great for families, couples, and anyone who enjoys nature. It’s safe, easy to join, and open to ages 5 and up. With several departures each day, it’s simple to fit into your New Orleans plans.
If you’d like to see the real Louisiana swamps up close, this is a calm, fun way to do it.
