Capt Barry was our tour guide. With him growing up on the river he gave us a lot of insight about the environment and animals/reptiles. He is only one of a couple capt that will take you into a marsh. I learned so much from him. Great guide. I would definitely tour with this company again. It was one of our most enjoyable things we did while visiting NOLA.

Excellent excursion! Exceeded my expectations. Captain Mark was fantastic! Funny, knowledgeable, and quite the dare devil! We got to see alligators, raccoons, and other local wildlife. We took the small airboat (9 people), so we got to go into some tight spaces. It was amazing and was the highlight of my NOLA stay!

Steve was such an awesome tour guide. Making us laugh the whole time, feeding the gators marshmallows, pointing out the massive spiders in the trees. Seeing the pelicans eating and diving and all the wildlife was awesome. Definitely bring some water, sunscreen and nice breathable clothes

Our visit to Airboat Adventures in New Orleans left us absolutely exhilarated and awe-inspired, thanks in large part to our incredible tour guide. This swamp tour was a fantastic way to get up close and personal with the unique ecosystems of the Louisiana bayous, and our guide truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we stepped onto the airboat, our guide's enthusiasm was infectious. Their knowledge of the swamp's wildlife, history, and local culture was nothing short of impressive. They effortlessly shared fascinating facts about the bayou's inhabitants, from alligators and birds to the lush vegetation, adding depth and context to our adventure. But what truly set our experience apart was our guide's dedication to safety and respect for the environment. Their careful navigation of the waterways ensured a smooth ride, and their commitment to minimizing our impact on the delicate ecosystem was commendable. Moreover, our guide's genuine passion for the swamp was palpable. They didn't just inform; they entertained. With a great sense of humor and captivating storytelling, they kept us engaged throughout the tour, making it both educational and thoroughly enjoyable. Airboat Adventures in NOLA offers an opportunity to explore the untamed beauty of the Louisiana swamps, and having such an awesome tour guide elevated the experience to new heights. If you're in New Orleans and seeking an adventure that combines nature, excitement, and fantastic guidance, look no further than Airboat Adventures. It's an unforgettable journey into the heart of the bayou, thanks to their dedicated and passionate tour guides.

I took my 1st tour with ABA on my 30th birthday, 13 years ago. It was so memorable that I came back for my 43rd birthday with my 9-year-old daughter. Boy, they've changed some things, and as a law degree holder, I totally understand avoiding liabilities. Our Captain was awesome. The wildlife was active. The history lesson along the route was informative. The other patrons were very into it and courteous. As the only child on the boat the captain made it a point to make sure she got to feed a gator a marshmallow which I believe was coined by Captain Monkey many years ago as "Swamp Crack" lol please check them out for a good time!

Amazing place to visit I will 100% recommend this place when you visit Louisiana we booked the airboat with 10 passengers (only 8 on the trip) and it was a fun experience I will recommend to take sun screen and a good hat to protect you from the sun, and plenty of water because the tour is about 2 hours so enjoy

Had a great morning on the water. Saw some gators and lots of birds all identified and described/explained by our experienced and humorous guide. Gertrude was a fun introduction as well! A special, pretty lucky you still have a phone, shoutout to the couple sitting in front of us who chose to film instead of live the experience.

This was a great experience for my husband and my first trip to New Orleans. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and gators and was able to answer any questions we had, he was very friendly and had great stories. We seen quite a few gators. I would definitely recommend the smaller airboats as you are able to get into much better and smaller areas to see wildlife. Would definitely visit here again.

What a fun and exciting adventure. Our original tour had to be rescheduled so to weather. The staff quickly rescheduled everyone working hard to accommodate all the various scheduling issues. We did the smaller airboat tour and our guide was fun and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We booked the premium small airboat ride. Cost around $238 for 2 adults. It was well worth the money. This meant we shared the boat with 4 others but meant there was enough space for any of us to look either side. The tours start from Fleming Park Road according to Google maps - not Fleming Road - and are at the end of a small residential street with no signs, so don't panic if you think you're at the wrong place! The ride was fun, with some informative commentary from our guide. We saw several large alligators and lots of medium ones, plus egrets, a bald eagle a heron, other birds and a turtle. The bayou is beautiful and we took some time through the interesting parts, interspersed by a fun few bits speeding along. A great hour and 3/4 and highly recommended.

You absolutely have to do a swamp tour while in Louisiana. We had such a great time with this company. They were incredibly organized and easy to book with. They also have different options for which type of boat you would like to go on. We went on the large airboat and had a great time while still being able to see alligators right up close! Our guide was knowledgable, friendly, and personable. He was patient with everyone’s questions and brought the alligators right up next to the side of the boat! It was so much fun we would absolutely do it again. Before you get on the boats they do offer alcoholic drinks which you can then bring on the boats with you.

We visited Airboat Adventures while out in NOLA for a Cousin Reunion (7/15). We were lucky enough to be on Ramon's boat, and he was awesome! He had a great sense of humor and was very informative, willing to answer every question (very knowledgeable). He might be a little crazy though lol....just after telling us about some past run-ins with Gator teeth, he proceeds to splash around the water playing with Bubbles. We all enjoyed the tour and I'm very happy I got to experience it. I highly recommend everyone go!

The Swamp Tour was awesome! Was able to experience a closeup of the flora and fauna. Captain Lane was knowledgeable and was happy to answer all of our questions! The Whitney Plantation tour was very eye opening and we learned things regarding the Slave Trade that we didn’t know before. Our driver Dwayne was also very knowledgeable of the region. For sure will book them when we return to Louisiana! ????????

This was by far one of the coolest things I have ever done!!! These airboat tours are awesome!! Our tour guide Tiktok was absolutely FANTASTIC!! I cannot recommend these tour enough!! We decided to go with the smaller airboat and I think it was 100% worth the extra money. We got to see 6-7 alligators up REALLY close, a couple of raccoons, and a ton of beautiful birds.

One of my favorite experiences ever. We brought our two children (6 and 8) on the small airboat tour. It was amazing seeing the Bayou from an airboat. And alligators galore!! It is exceptionally organized, all the staff and guides are friendly and knowledgeable. Our favorite activity while on vacation!

The tour started with a very comfortable ride in an air conditioned bus and the driver (Derrick) was awesome! So much information and we had 2 tours in one. He gave amazing recommendations on where to eat and made the drive so enjoyable! Derrick I hope you win the something extra at the Xmas party The swamp tour was so beyond amazing! So many chompers in the water and an amazing tour guide Patrick! He was so informative and entertaining! Only complaint is I couldn't touch a alligator. Would definitely do this again!

Captain Dukes (AKA IC Posse boat tours) was awesome! Great tour, lots of good historical and environmental information during the tour. High speed skimming with a 500 CI big block engine. Captain Will was fun and energetic and had some great jokes. When I get home I’m going to the basement and finding my old 34 inch Easton Black Magic so I can go gather gator eggs with him. You grab the eggs I’ll watch for gators! Seriously this is money well spent and they were very fair with pricing when we had to end our tour slightly early. - Ric Flair Wooooooooo
