Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Barataria Preserve, Marrero, LA
Travel along the Mississippi River and arrive at the departure location in Marrero, a 35 minute drive outside of New Orleans. You will be introduced to your captain and briefed quickly on procedure inside of the Airboat. Once everyone in the group is prepared to take off you captain will rev the engine.
This particular airport is powered by a 454 Chevy Engine that's capable of accelerating to speeds as high as 35 miles per hour. The boat is propelled by a large fan behind the boat which can deliver wind speeds of over 200 miles per hour. This tour is fast and loud!
Your tour guide will take you around the swamp and make frequent stops for you to have encounters with the wildlife. Chances are you'll probably have some reptilian visitors. The alligators have no problems making their way to the side of the boat and showing off for the visitors. After the tour of the swamp is complete you will be returned to the original departure location to make your way back to New Orleans.

NOLA local- never been on a swamp tour before but brought some out-of-town team members in. Our Tour guide ROCKY was AWESOME! It was the groups favorite part of the trip. easy to get to and simple process. Will be recommending for anyone who visits.

This tour was beyond our expectations. The small airport tour was able to show us the bayou,lake and marsh. Rocky our tour guide was amazing. He had a special way with the alligators. We saw many alligators . You will miss out if you do not go!

First time on the bayou! Our captain was great, 15 years of experience on the water and full of knowledge. We saw a bald eagle and lots of gators!
We took the 9:30am tour and drove out to the establishment. I would recommend going earlier to avoid the sun/heat. The facility has adequate parking, restrooms and small gift shop, drinks and snacks.
We left the dock at 9:40am and arrived back around 11:20am. After the tour, we went and had lunch at Restaurant des Familles. It's on the way back and about 7-10 mins from the tour location.
Highly recommend! You will enjoy a great day experiencing God's creation and eating some great food!

We had an excellent experience on a beautiful afternoon. The facilities are in great shape with a professional staff. The best part was our tour guide, Rocky; his knowledge of the land, waters, and animals, along with its history, was outstanding. In addition, he has a great personality for the job. Well done!!
