Climb aboard a small flat-bottomed airboat and prepare for an intimate tour through the swamps and bayous just south of New Orleans. Experience some of the most beautiful and secluded areas of Louisiana while catching glimpses of alligators, turtles, and birds. Your tour includes return coach transport from the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans.

Set out on a 20,000-acre (8,095-ha) track of tidewater cypress swamp close to the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. Your boat is powered by an aircraft propeller to allow a fast, fluid trip through the shallow marshes. Feel the wind on your face as you zip into bayous lined with mossy cypress and tupelo-gum trees as your pilot points out a stunning variety of wildlife.

Prepare to get up close and personal with plenty of alligators in the warmer months (and warmer days in winter) on your small airboat. Your guide may even feed the gators, providing you with amazing photo opportunities. As you zigzag through the soggy wetlands, keep your eyes open for turtles, snakes, egrets, herons, hawks, and so much more,

Tour duration is 3.75 hours.
