Your Memories Begin Here. Choose Your Experience.
The Original Airboat Tour
This is the tour that made us famous. Depending on the size of your group, we invite you to climb into one of our small or larger airboats and experience why they call it the Great Outdoors. While you will feel the wind in your hair, the thrill you get will be from Mother Nature herself. You’ll see alligators, exotic birds, perhaps a wild boar, white-tailed deer, a nutria, a raccoon, or a turtle or two. Keep your eyes peeled for a Bald Eagle. And you may just get a chance to hold a baby alligator.
Cajun Sunrise Adventure
If you’ve never experienced the sights and sounds of sunrise on the Louisiana swamp, you’re in for a treat. Departure times depend on the time of year. This is a private tour.
Louisiana Sunset Experience
Sunset is a magical time in Cajun Country and a photographer’s dream. At this time of day, the heat of the sun subsides a bit and the frogs start to sing a lullaby. Departure times depend on the time of year. This is a private tour.
Bachelor Party Blowout
Bourbon Street has nothing on the bayou! The wildest bachelor and bachelorette parties take place in the swamp! While you are allowed to bring your own beverages on board, give us a call for answers to your food and alcohol-related questions.
Bonding on the Bayou
Make your next corporate event one your group will never stop talking about. Break out of your cubicles, pause notifications, and get to really know the people you work with every day. No suits allowed on the bayou.
Fais Do Do Add-On for Parties of 40 or More
A Fais Do Do is the name for a Cajun party. Before or after your New Orleans Airboat Tour, we invite you to pull up a seat at a table under our live oak trees and enjoy a Louisiana seafood boil (crawfish, when in season), complete with all the fixin’s. We’ll play you some Cajun music and you’ll have a good old time. We will supply whatever you need including tents, tables, chairs, and bars. If you want to hire a live band or someone to teach you how to Cajun dance, we can help you there, too.
