- Barataria Preserve - Drive along the Mississippi River to reach your destination in the swamps. 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.

AMAZING Gators everywhere! - We were on an airboat with Louisiana Tour Company and had the most amazing tour with Captain Ernie … His passion for the bayou and its wildlife made our experience one to remember forever. Captain Ernie taught us so much and heightened our appreciation for Louisiana. Hands down the best tour during our week in New Orleans!!

Amazing experience - This is an amazing experience for the whole family. We went to New Orleans for our spring break (couple with 7- year old daughter). We rented a car for the day so we could do this swamp tour in the morning and some other day trips in the afternoon, but this company had bus pickup options as well from the city.
The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and you could tell he loved his job. He made a few stops to show us alligators up close and other wildlife he thought we would be interested in.
The air boat goes pretty fast at times over open water, but you have a seatbelt on, safety is not an issue. Hold on tight to your hats! Wear sunscreen or long sleeve clothing. Our tour started at 9:40and lasted for almost 2 hours. Bathrooms available at the dock were clean and well supplied (even the women’s restroom) but there are lines due to tour buses arriving around the same time.
Overall we are very happy with this excursion and happy we chose Louisiana Tour Company. We’ll be talking about this experience for a very long time!
