Highlights
- Mississippi River - Drive along the Mississippi River to reach your destination in the swamps.
- Barataria Preserve - This tour is a combination of both a swamp tour and an airboat ride. Your tour guide will stop on your journey to allow for photos and alligator encounters! This airboat is a larger capacity vessel with the ability to seat up to 16 passengers. This is perfect for larger groups. The seating on your airboat is stadium style seating, so anyone seated in front of you will not be obstructing your view.
Each airboat tour is unique and unscripted, you never know what’s going to be waiting for your group behind the next turn. Airboats are driven by a 454 Chevy Engine, bringing speeds of your boat up to 25 miles an hour. Airboats are propelled by a large fan that blow air behind the vessel. On this tour, you will reach places and visit areas which normal boats and vehicles are unable to access.

Had fun! - We so enjoyed our ride. We did see 7 plus gators. The captain made sure that everyone on the boat were able see and get pictures of them. It was beautiful going through all the different canals and it was cool seeing an eagle fly over so low. He also stopped in a nice shady area and explained all about the gators. Don't wear white in gators territory. Lol
