Large Airboat Swamp Tour with New Orleans Pick Up

Highly recommend. You will absolutely enjoy!! Our guide was incredible with the alligators. The gators did not disappoint, they performed like true professionals.

So much fun! Speeding through the swamp was a blast! Guide was knowledgeable and very good with the alligators. They feed them marshmallows! Lol…

Awesome tour! Saw a bunch of gators, our tour guide was great, funny and very informative. Would definitely do this tour again when we come back to NOLA

We loved this tour. Great guide who was knowledgeable and fun. Learned a lot about the eco system. Saw gators up close. Awesome experience.

This was one of the best experiences on a vacation ever! Having hotel pick up and drop off was amazing and the tour was so breathtaking it made me emotional. Our tour guide was excellent and I learned so much about this area. I absolutely recommend this addition to your NOLA adventures! 5 stars!!!!

Nice tour of the swamp. Interesting and fun. Our tour guide took us to see the alligators. We enjoyed the tour and if the swamps are still here next year we will be back for another tour.

I would give this 5 stars except for the fact that Reggie the bus driver almost left without us and then lied to us about it! We had no problems getting picked up at our hotel in the morning. We drove with another couple for about 5 minutes and then were told to load the bus behind us. We changed busses and ended up on Reggie’s bus. On the way there he was friendly and played music. He also said to be sure to get on his bus for the return trip. Because of this, we decided we would tip him at the end. I’m glad we waited. Once we arrived where the boats were we had a chance to check in and use the restroom. We still had about 30 min. As we walked to where to boats were Reggie was telling us to get back on the bus. He began to argue with us and said we needed to go to the plantation. We told him we didn’t book that and had to tell him he just dropped us off. He then left and went looking for the right people. Once we got on the boat, we hand an amazing time! We saw tons of alligators and our guide gave us marshmallows to feed them with. He even got one to climb up on the boat and fed him chicken. It was incredible and we needed to keep reminding ourselves that these were actually wild animals and were not trained. We even got a chance to hold a 7 month old baby alligator who was the cutest little thing ever. It was a special day on the water and our guide knew a ton about the area, the animals, and clearly had a love and respect for the place. Our mouths hurt from smiling so much. After getting off the boat, I ran in the gift shop to quickly purchase a magnet to remember our trip since we had such a great time and my husband ran to the bathroom. Reggie came in and said we were about to leave and could see I was next in line. I told him I would be right there. I paid exact cash to move things along and told my husband that we needed to go. He thought I was joking and said they won’t leave without us as we watched the bus start to pull away. We ran after the bus waving our arms and he finally stopped. When we got on Reggie said “Oh I though you were on the bus”. Which is a huge load of nonsense since he had a clipboard to check off names and no one else got on the bus. He knew we weren’t on the bus and couldn’t wait long enough for someone to use the restroom- since I was finished before my husband was. This is a fantastic boat company that needs to contract with better busses since this guy put a damper on what was otherwise a fantastic day! We have taken tons of tours. We’re not usually the last people on the bus, but this is the only time we have EVER watched a bus pull away and have had to chase it. We were NEVER told there won’t be time to use the restroom after the boat ride or the bus will leave at exactly 1:30 or any other information like that. Had we known there was ANY possibility that we could get left behind we wouldn’t have risked buying a magnet or using the restroom but we can’t know not to do that if no one tells us. Needless to say, Reggie did not get a tip and it was an unfortunate way to end an amazing day.

I think this was an excellent choice for a tour in the Louisiana swamp. Tour guide was the best, very knowledgeable and informative about the marsh and swamp areas

The whole experience was very well organized . The swamp tour was both beautiful and informative Captain Ernie was great. Learned a lot about alligators and wetlands including their protection

Our tour guide was fantastic! I learned a ton about alligators and their habits. So glad we went! The boat ride was so much fun. Saw so many alligators it was unbelievable. They all swam right up to the boat. Very convenient since they picked us up at our VRBO. Definitely a must do if you come down to New Orleans!
