Signature 16 Seat Airboat Swamp Tour

- Duration: 105 Minutes (approx.)
The
Signature 16 Seat Airboat is the perfect balance of speed, intimacy, and value.
With a maximum of 16 passengers, you get a personal, exciting
experience without the premium price of our smaller boats. There is a
reason this is our most popular swamp tour.
Feel the rush as your
captain opens the throttle and you skim across the bayou, weaving
through cypress trees draped in Spanish moss. When the engine cuts in a
quiet cove, the sounds of the swamp take over: birds calling, water
lapping, and the occasional splash of a gator sliding into the water.
Your expert Cajun captain knows every hidden corner and loves sharing
the stories and secrets of Louisiana swamp life.
Ideal for
families, friend groups, and couples who want an authentic Louisiana
swamp adventure at a great price. Hotel pickup is available with the
shuttle add-on.

Important: Rideshare Warning
We
strongly discourage using Uber, Lyft, or taxis. The launch areas are
rural and not well-serviced by rideshare. While it's easy to get a ride
from New Orleans to the bayou, finding a return ride can be
difficult—guests have been stranded in the past.

Our
swamp launches are about 25-40 minutes south of the French Quarter. If
you choose to drive, free parking is available at the dock. You'll
receive the exact address in your confirmation email after booking.
Booking Separately?
We
use 4 different docks depending on tour type and availability. Guests
who book separately are not guaranteed to be on the same boat or even
the same dock. If you're hoping to be with friends or family booking
separately, please contact us immediately after booking so we can try to
coordinate.
