Airboat Swamp Tour

Cathy_R, Oct 2026

Airboats, Gators & a Great Time

Such a fun swamp tour! The airboat ride was a blast, and the alligators came right up to the boats for breakfast. We even saw baby gators and plenty of birds. Definitely one of the highlights of our New Orleans trip — if you’re visiting the area, put this one on your must-do list!

Large Airboat Swamp Tour with Transportation from New Orleans

Alexa_T, Oct 2026

Fun tour

Fun experience and great funny and friendly guide. It was unexpectedly cold the day we went so there weren’t as many alligators out as expected but we still saw a good amount of small gators and the guide got us close to see them. We saw many birds and the giant cranes flew close by the boats. It was a cool way to see the bayou.

Audubon Aquarium and Insectarium Ticket

Chivon_K, Oct 2026

We enjoyed the...

We enjoyed the insectarium and aquarium immensely. It is worth every penny to go through at your leisure and explore. The extra experience, at no cost, of petting sting rays was amazing and such a calming experience. The staff were amazing and knowledgeable. If we were residents, this would be on our regular rotation!

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. His fun personality made all the difference in the experience we had. This bayou tour was the most fun we had on our trip to NOLA!

New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure with Transportation

Regina_C, Oct 2026

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!

Awesome Experience!

There are two types of classes, demonstration and hands on. We did the hands on experience and it was phenomenal. Renee was our instructor chef and he made the class very interesting.

2hr tour

We rode an hour down the river to stop for an hour at a fascinating battle ground. The guide was funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of New Orleans. The boat slowed going by the sugar mill to show the movement of raw sugar to the mill, as well as the merchant marine ship. The rain was refreshing and beautiful. All in all, a spectacular informative cruise.

Whitney Plantation Tour from New Orleans with Pickup

Adjoa_D, Jul 2026

A must historical tour when in NOLA

Impactful plantation monument on slavery from the perspective of the enslaved. And Edward was a fantastic guide a s driver as well! Who shared so many gems about New Orleans and the surrounding areas on the way to the Whitney and returning. Crystal was a great guide on site as well, with a few of us having upgraded my tour rather than self guided. I would do this tour again and highly recommend it..
