Barataria Preserve

Meet your airboat captain and settle into your seat on the 16-passenger vessel, then prepare for a wild ride into the swamp. Powered by a 454 Chevy engine and propelled by huge fans, the airboat travels at speeds up to 25 miles per hour (40 kph). The captain performs exhilarating high-speed maneuvers, cruises at gentle speeds, and makes plenty of photo stops while narrating on the wildlife and local flora. Alligator sightings are common in these waters, but your guide is trained to ensure safety at all times during this family-friendly outing. After your tour concludes, relax with transport back to your hotel in New Orleans.

    Do this! Definitely worth the time and money. Our guide, Dewey, was not only very knowledgeable, but also entertaining. Dewey knew where to find his alligator buddies, engaged with them and included us. I swear he gets the alligators to smile😄We went on the morning tour, in August. It was great! Dewey knows how to control the AC on the air boat. Don't miss out!!
