We went out into the swamp with Captain Lou and had a great time. He was very knowledgeable. He found three or four alligators and even got them to swim over to our boat. He also stopped along the way for us to get some pretty cool pictures. Its $90 a person if you want transportation from your hotel, but... more

We took the 9:45 tour with our 2 kids (ages 8 and 13). Our Captain knew just where to find the gators even though it was close to hibernation season. Captain Monkey was both entertaining and knowledgeable. Beautiful scenery, lots of birds too! Had a great po'boy lunch down the road at Jan's afterwards. Worth the $30/person! http://www.airboatadventures.com/ or call... more

You MUST go on an Airboat Adventures tour while you're in New Orleans!! It was one of the highlights of our trip! We went out with Captain Monkey, and he's awesome. You should request him if you go! He is very informative and you can tell that he just really loves the area and has a deep respect for it.... more

During our trip it began to rain pretty heavily but ponchos are on sale at the store where you buy your tickets and use... more

We booked the 6 person airboat with transportation from our French Quarter hotel (about a 35 minute drive) for $90/person. There was an option for a boat that took more passengers (20?) for much less, but... more

The middle of August this year was the first time I had ever been to the South. Traveling down south had been a dream of mine since I was little and I finally got to go with my boyfriend to New Orleans. To get the full south lands effect I wanted to do a boat tour. I had been debating... more

My family and I just got back from spending two nights in NOLA. While there, we decided to take a swamp tour and chose Airboat Adventures. What a wonderful experience! Kevin, our tour guide and driver, was super! He not only took us on a rip-roaring trip through the swamps in an airboat, but he also slowed the boat down... more

We had a ball with Captain Kevin on the airboat tour. It was the highlight of our trip to New Orleans. Just an hour south of the French Quarter near Jean Lafitte preserve. They'll pick you up at your hotel for added convenience. We saw gators up close as Capt. Kevin fed them marshmallows. It's amazing what those boats will... more
