This thrilling adventure is both a swamp tour and a speed ride.
Take a thrilling air boat ride through the wetlands of Louisiana and see plenty of alligators on this active, family-friendly tour. Travel at speeds up to 40mph across the bayou then slow down for unforgettable photo opportunities and fascinating information from a local captain.
These agile airboats take you deep into the marsh where traditional boats don’t dare to go. Once deep in the wetlands, you will be in the prime location for viewing the amazing wildlife of Sportsman’s Paradise. Spy alligators in the wild – as well as raccoons, native birds and large river rodents called nutria – as your native guide provides commentary.
Travel over bayous and open waterways around the colorful, historic fishing village of Jean Lafitte, named after a 19th-century smuggler. Experience the rich natural landscapes around New Orleans on this thrilling swamp tour and speed ride!
