Some adventures are worth the splashing — and this airboat swamp tour near New Orleans delivers pure Louisiana joy from the first engine roar. Climb aboard a 16-passenger airboat and hold on tight for a 1-hour-and-40-minute ride through wild, winding bayous where alligators rule the waterways and herons glide overhead.
This is the perfect middle ground: the boat is big enough to bring the whole family or group of friends, yet the tour still feels personal thanks to the captain’s lively narration. Expect tall tales, real bayou history and plenty of wildlife sightings — gators, turtles and maybe even a bald eagle if you’re lucky. The open-air design means every seat has a great view of the action.
Round-trip transportation from New Orleans is included, so all you have to do is show up ready to smile. At $90 per person and a 4.9-star rating from more than 2,100 reviews, it’s one of the best-value thrills in the Big Easy.
