Well worth the time! Great tour guide!

Gary (a several generation New Orleans native) was an excellent guide with great tips and facts sprinkled throughout the tour.

Go to the bayou! You won’t regret it.

Our driver Derek was great! He told us all about the city and recommended some good places to eat in NOLA on the way to the tour. Our tour boat Captain Kevin was so nice and engaging.

We were on the Big Red...

We were on the Big Red Boat Clifford. Our guide was excellent and very informative about the alligators and natural habitat we traveled through. He located several alligators along the way and told great stories about several of them that they have come to know by name. He also gave us a fun ride through the many tributaries of the swamp. I highly recommend this tour on a trip to New Orleans.

So Much Fun — Highly Recommend!

This was hands down one of my favorite parts of our New Orleans trip! I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into the swamp tour, but it ended up being such an amazing experience. Our guide was fantastic — funny, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the swamp and the wildlife. We got to see alligators up close, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and learn so much along the way without it ever feeling boring or overly “touristy.” There was just something so cool about being out on the water surrounded by the Louisiana swamp. It was peaceful, exciting, and completely different from anything we normally get to experience. I’m so glad we booked this tour, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting New Orleans. It gave us some great memories and was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

New Orleans Airboat Ride

JohnScott_B, Oct 2026

Perfect mix of rollercoaster thrills to slow nature meandering

I booked the tour with hotel pick up in the French Quarter. I paid for the smaller, 6 person tour and it was well worth the extra money!! For the life of me I can’t quite remember our Captain’s name, Titi? Something like that, he was awesome, it was a perfect mix of high speed thrills like a rollercoaster with slow leisure meandering deep in the Bayou. We saw a majestic Eagle and other water birds and of course, Alligators! What a beautiful area of planet earth! I loved all the mossy trees and the earthy smell of the swamp. Our guide also pointed out a huge Eagle’s nest high at the top of a tree. I even enjoyed the 30 minute ride to the starting point, listening to slow jams on the radio as we headed out of the city… it was very organized. This was a highlight on my first visit to NOLA . I absolutely recommend it! It was fantastic!!

Great tour, must do!

Such a great tour our guide Erin was so lovely, knowledgeable and made our group feel safe. I was a bit afraid going into the tour with seeing wild gators and all but it was such a great a experience. Highly recommend this Tour especially because the boat is covered and the weather changes all the time.
