Experience the wild side of Louisiana with Airboat Adventures’ Super-Sized Large Airboat Swamp Tour—with convenient hotel pickup! Leave the city behind and let us handle the transportation as you embark on a high-speed, family-friendly journey into the heart of the bayou. Perfect for adventurers ages 5 and up, this 1 hour and 45 minute excursion takes you deep into 20,000 acres of untamed cypress swamp aboard a powerful 30-passenger airboat.

Hotel Pickup Made Easy

  • Enjoy round-trip shuttle service from select hotels in the French Quarter and Central Business District.
  • The Airboat Adventures shuttle (clearly marked) picks up at 8:30am, 10:45am, 12:45pm, 2:45pm (seasonal March–October), and 4:45pm (seasonal, select summer weekends).
  • Be ready outside your hotel at the start of your designated pickup window. The shuttle will arrive within 30 minutes. Guests not present when the shuttle arrives may miss their tour and will not be refunded.

What to Expect

  • Adrenaline-Packed Adventure: Glide through shallow marshes and hidden bayous on a flat-bottomed airboat powered by an aircraft propeller. Feel the rush as you zip past moss-draped cypress and tupelo-gum trees, guided by expert Cajun captains who know these waters inside and out.
  • Wildlife Encounters: Get up close to Louisiana’s true natives—alligators (sometimes over 17 feet!), turtles, snakes, egrets, herons, ibis, hawks, owls, bald eagles, raccoons, nutria, and more. In warmer months, watch for sunbathing gators and, if you’re lucky, see your guide feed them for unforgettable photo ops. Cooler months bring sightings of deer and other marshland mammals.
  • Immersive Bayou Experience: Learn about the unique ecosystem and local traditions from guides born and raised on the bayou. Each tour blends education, excitement, and authentic Louisiana culture.
  • On-Site Amenities: Before or after your tour, relax in the air-conditioned building, browse the gift shop, enjoy snacks or a frozen drink, and visit the indoor alligator habitat—home to Sugar, the rare albino gator.
