If it gives you any indication JUST how delightful our Airboat Adventures experience was, we walked in the door from a full day of travel less than an hour ago, and I'm already sitting down to write this review. Going to NOLA, I knew that I wanted to get a more well-rounded taste of Louisiana's true flavor than I was... More

I was thrilled with this tour. I was just what I hoped it would be. I expected an airboat ride and to see some gators. Captain Greg was really into his job. He made sure we saw as many gators and other wildlife as possible. Luckily the weather was just perfect. This was my first ride on an airboat and... More

Quite frankly, I was disappointed by the Airboat Adventure tour. We skimmed along a big lake for awhile and then went into an old manmade canal and spent basically our entire time in there looking at gators. That gets old after the first two or three, quite frankly. A few years ago, I went on an airboat tour that took... More

First off the boat tour was fantastic! Our guide was very professional and enthusiastic. He also had a very good sense of humor and was educated about the area. The guide gave us history of the area, he new the nature and the habitat of everything we asked. He kept us engaged, he fed the gators, we saw turtles and... More

these people are playing a bad joke on the tourist from New Orleans. If you want a thrill ride try a roller coaster. Oyr town is on life support from the loss of wetlands. These noisey contraptions are ruining our town. If you want to see gators there are many other ways. If you want to see pet gators take... More

This was my third alligator trip and first in LA! Amazing! Captain Earl was daring, fun, informative, but not in a hokey goofy way! We were scared, laughed and learned and had a blast! He just made ya feel like ya knew him forever, and he was your fun cousin! An absolute blast, and highly recommended! You'll get as close... More

Spring is a great time to enjoy this adventure. You are only a few miles from a big city but feel a million miles away! The guides are informative, friendly, clearly enjoy their job, and make sure that the passengers get a great experience. Would recommend taking the early outing at 9:45 when lots of critters are out, and we... More

A trip to New Orleans would not be complete without checking out the bayou. Airboat adventures is a fun way to do it. I highly recommend this one and a half hour boat tour. We were able to see alligators up close and even hold a baby one. We also saw other wildlife such as turtles, heron, ducks, etc.

My husband and I loved this experience! My husband is from Louisiana but I am from California ... but we equally enjoyed this fun adventure! The swamps are truly beautiful ... but I think our captain Richy Rich really is what made the trip so great. His energy was excellent and he shared so much great information with us. He... More
