Highly recommend this airboat swamp tour! - Fantastic tour. We saw lots of alligators and birds. We even saw a couple coyotes. The guide knew where to take us when it started raining so we wouldn't get soaked. Luckily, the rain did not last long. Our 10-year old son had a great time. We have been to Nola before but never considered doing a swamp tour until we brought him along on this trip. So glad we did it as it was a highlight for all of us.

Can’t miss! Where else are you gonna ride a fanboat? - Fan boat driver was awesome! Very funny and insightful. We saw gators right away, along with other wildlife. We were surprised to learn that the bayou is eroding and won’t be around forever, so the tours are a can’t miss!
