Glide through Louisiana's wetlands on a nimble airboat with local Cajun guides
1 Hour 45 Minutes
Guided airboat tour, Free parking
Experience an authentic Louisiana wetlands adventure led by local swamp families. Zoom across marshes on a small airboat and discover abundant wildlife.
The ride is not suitable for pregnant travelers or those with neck or back injuries. Minimum participant age is 5 years.
Q: What should I wear for the tour?
A: Dress for comfort and the weather! In warm weather, we recommend shorts, a T-shirt, sandals or flip-flops, sunglasses, and a hat. Don't forget sunscreen! When it's cooler, layer up with a jacket and bring gloves to stay warm during the ride.
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: A little rain won't stop the adventure! We operate in light rain conditions. Feel free to bring your own poncho, or you can purchase one at our departure site.
Q: Will mosquitoes be an issue?
A: Once the airboat gets moving, mosquitoes aren't a problem. The breeze from the ride keeps them away, so you can focus on spotting wildlife!
Q: What should I leave at home?
A: We recommend leaving valuable jewelry and expensive clothing behind. The wetlands environment can be unpredictable, and items dropped in the marsh are very difficult to recover.
Q: Is parking available?
A: Absolutely! We offer complimentary parking at the departure site for all guests.
Refund requests made less than 48 hours before departure are not considered. Tickets are transferable and valid for one year. No-shows are charged full price.
This family-owned operation has clearly figured out how to make swamp tours memorable. The captains get mentioned by name constantly in reviews, with Cameron, Randy, Kelly, Kurt, and Lane earning particular praise for being genuinely funny, knowledgeable, and somehow managing to feel like old friends rather than scripted tour guides. What stands out is how these guides have built actual relationships with the gators they encounter. You'll likely get to hold a baby gator named Pickles, and don't be surprised when your captain calls out specific alligators by name like they're old buddies. The small boat tours come highly recommended over the larger options since they apparently access more areas and create a more intimate experience. People love that there's no pricing gimmicks here, just straightforward booking with a team that genuinely cares about preserving the bayou. The wildlife viewing delivers even in less-than-ideal conditions, with gators being the main attraction but eagles, birds, and active fish making appearances too. A couple practical notes: the pickup vans are described as older with limited AC and can get crowded, and one reviewer mentioned disappointment about trash in the marsh areas. Rain doesn't seem to dampen the experience much though, as the staff is flexible about rescheduling and multiple people said wet weather tours still ranked as trip highlights.
We did the small airboat tour yesterday with Capt’n Cameron and it was phenomenal. He’s hilarious without being corny and super knowledgeable, but keeps it feeling like a conversation instead of a lecture. He clearly knows the swamps inside and out, and he’s built real relationships with the gators — we even got to hold his baby gator, Pickles! For wildlife lovers and thrill seekers, this is a must-do. We got incredibly close to the gators and still felt completely safe the whole time. Couldn’t recommend this more. — Rachel
