Small-Group Swamp Tour by Airboat with Downtown New Orleans Pickup


On this tour you will experience the best of both: a swamp tour and an airboat ride.You will travel at high speeds in the airboat then slow down and stop for pictures. Along the way, you will get a personal tour by your local Captain. These airboats have stadium seating, so that the person in front of you does not obstruct your view. Every airboat seat is great for experiencing the tour and viewing the wildlife. Yes, gators will get close, real close. So close that you will be able to look into those reptilian eyes.Alligators do hibernate in the colder months, but the experienced captains know where to look for them. On average, during the winter, you have better than a 50/50 chance of seeing a gator. In the warmer months, you will always see a gator. Every New Orleans Airboat Tour is unique and you never know what will be around the next corner. The area toured is a combination of Swamp, Marsh and Lake. So you may see anything from a Bald Eagle to a Pelican to Osprey our even an Owl, its that diverse. The airboats are driven by a 454 Chevy Engine that will produce speeds of up to 35 miles an hour. They are propelled by a huge fan that will blow air from the back of the boat in excess of 200 miles an hour. These tours are truly a blast! They ride in inches of water and go places where traditional boats cannot go. The boats were designed to take you to inaccessible areas of the swamp, places that you cannot reach by foot or car. It is a unique experience.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingNot recommended for participants with back problemsNot recommended for participants with heart complaints or other serious medical conditionsNot recommended for pregnant womenA maximum of 9 people per bookingInclusions1 hour and 40 minute airboat tourProfessional guideHotel pickup and drop-offExclusionsFood and drinksGratuities (optional)Duration2 hoursReturn DetailsReturns to original departure pointVoucher InfoYou can present either a paper or an electronic voucher for this activity.The tour
