Airboat Swamp Tour
New Orleans’ wild side comes rushing in on this high-speed airboat ride through Louisiana swamp country. After a ride from the pier, board an open airboat and skim across shallow marshes lined with mossy cypress and tupelo-gum trees as your pilot shares stories of the bayou. Depending on the season and conditions, you may spot alligators, turtles, egrets, herons, nutria, raccoons, or even birds of prey along the way. The rush of the ride is all part of the adventure; with fast, open-air, and full of untamed scenery, this tour offers a thrilling look at a very different side of New Orleans.
