Overview

This is an unforgettable experience. Enjoy a private airboat experience for up to 9 passengers on a high speed airboat. You will have chauffeured ground transportation in a Black Executive Van. You driver will arrive at your doorstep for a 4 hour experience. Your driver will supply an empty cooler and stop at a grocery store on your way to the swamp. Travel about 35 to 45 minutes to the swamp tour dock, where your captain will await your arrival. Get about 15 to 20 minutes at the dock to use the restroom, go to the souvenir shop and enjoy the ambiance of the bayous. Then spend an unforgettable 1 hour 40 minutes on the water with your licensed USCG captain. You will get gators up close, real close!

What To Expect

Barataria Preserve

Board the 9 passenger airboat where your licensed USCG captain is awaiting your arrival. Each captain is a native of the area and will entertain you on this 1 hour 40 minute airboat adventure. The trip is part ride and part tour, where your captain stops to talk about the wildlife and flora of the swamps. You will get close to gators during the warmer days of the year. Yes, gators do hibernate, but in warmer days of the winter they will often be caught sunning themselves on the bank. Each trip is different and unique; you never know what you will view along the way. During the trip, the captain will supply the group with Champagne and flutes for the group to celebrate their experience. As the captain returns to the swamp tour dock, you will get 15 minutes to stretch your legs, use the restroom and visit the gift shop. Your driver will be at the dock awaiting your return back to your original pickup location.
