Ragin Cajun Airboat Tours is a family-owned outfit that brings the magic of Louisiana’s swamps within minutes of downtown New Orleans. Skim across private marshland—no long idle stretches—while local captains introduce you to gato...
Visitors consistently rave about the quality of the guides here, with names like Corey, Garrett, Josh, Jamie, and Jesse earning special shoutouts for being knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the swamps. The staff clearly loves what they do, and it shows in how they share stories, point out wildlife, and create an educational yet thrilling experience. Families especially appreciate the accommodating nature of the crew, including their patience with special needs guests. The wildlife viewing delivers in a big way. Expect to see plenty of alligators (some tours spot 20-30!), including adorable babies, and many visitors get the unforgettable chance to feed them marshmallows. Beyond gators, guests regularly encounter raccoons, diverse bird species, and stunning swamp scenery filled with beautiful plants and textures. The tours operate on private, protected land, which seems to make for reliable wildlife sightings. Just remember to bring sunscreen, water, and a hat since it gets hot out there. This consistently ranks as a highlight of people's New Orleans trips.
We had an awesome experience on our tour yesterday. We saw lots of gators 🐊 and had a very engaging experience. We got to learn new facts and see the gators up close. I think our tour guide was Scott and he did a great job. Would highly recommend this tour!
