Boats leave the dock at 8 AM, 9:45 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM, 4 PM, and 6 PM (if there is enough daylight for the 6 PM tour) — six departures daily. Arrive at least 15-30 minutes before departure for check-in. Every tour lasts 1 hour 45 minutes.

Small airboats carry 6-10 passengers and large airboats carry 15-27 passengers. We also run traditional covered pontoon boats — shaded, quieter, and suited to larger groups. If you would like a private tour, let us know and we can accommodate your needs!

Yes! We can accommodate any group size. Please give us a call to make the arrangements for your private Louisiana experience.

We offer to pick up guests and take them back to all hotels located in the French Quarter / New Orleans City Center / Eastern Garden District as an additional service. Please call to add pickup to your tour for an additional fee.

You have to be at least 5 years of age AND 48 inches tall to ride the airboat. Expectant mothers will need to take the swamp boat tour for a smooth experience in the bayou.

There are all sorts of avian (birds), reptiles, insects, and mammals in the swamp. They can be more active at different hours depending on the conditions, weather, and season. Your Louisiana boat captain will put you on the best tour possible to see as much as possible.

We are open from 8 AM to 11 PM, 7 days a week. Our phone lines are open even later for reservations!

Booking ahead of time is key — especially during holidays, weekends, and Mardi Gras. Larger groups (6+) are recommended to book weeks in advance. With six departures daily, we can also take last-minute bookings and will do everything we can to accommodate!

We recommend wearing whatever you feel comfortable in. We will be out on the water, so leave loose jewelry and watches behind to avoid losing your belongings. Bring sunscreen on sunny days. Dress comfortably. If it is cooler, wear warmer clothes (especially on an airboat) and bring a jacket.

Yes! We have boats other than airboats that you can enjoy the swamp in. We have covered boats that are not loud and provide shade from the hot Louisiana sun.

A covered boat is a larger boat with an awning that seats more people. It is not loud (unlike an airboat) and moves slower through the swamp. Great for photography!

Yes, but they rarely come out during the day. Please leave the spray at home.

While our booking office does not physically conduct the tours ourselves, we collaborate with a hand-picked combination of tour operators and Coast Guard certified captains to ensure a selection that combines quality with great value.

Tours go out rain or shine unless there is inclement weather such as lightning. We will call you ahead of time if your tour is canceled. NEVER assume the tour is canceled! Weather calls are up to the boat captain & dock staff. Typically storms blow over fairly quickly. However, severe weather can abbreviate or cancel tours. If your boat leaves the dock and your tour returns early due to inclement weather, we will not issue a refund.

Our covered tour boat will allow a standard width wheelchair to board.

Once we enter your information in our system we immediately start working on getting your tour confirmed. Once everything is squared away and we have your seats reserved, we will send you a confirmation email and text. You will also always get a formal transaction receipt from our payment provider.
