Our guide, Rocky was awesome - he knew the river and where to find all kinds of wildlife and plenty of gators . It’s worth doing this privately - sensational experience !

I can't rate this trip highly enough! We were a group of 13 friends from college on a bachelor party. The bus picked us up from our AirBNB and made it very easy to get out to the swamp. Our guide Jason was the MVP. He loaded us onto the airboat and gave us the ride of a lifetime. It was a beautiful ride cruising over the swamp at high speeds. Jason knew the swamp and its creatures like the back of his hand. He called the gators by name, and gave us a fascinating rundown of the flora and fauna. He told some hilarious jokes that fit the humor of our group quite well. He also gave us some history of the area and its occupants. Such an exhilarating and beautiful morning.

Any movie or TV show you've seen about "The Bayou" depicts folks gliding through the swamp on these HIGH SPEED Air boats. We were a group of 16 on a private boat that included back and forth private shuttle from downtown NOLA and everyone had a blast - even the two that started off a little skittish once the boat really got moving. It's very loud but they give you protective headphones which roughly half of us used. And it is very fast but totally stable, even when taking a fun turn at high speed. You won't get wet, at least not more than a spray. Our tour guide Matt was really nice, funny, and knowledgable. Taught us a lot about the area and alligators - I love that he focused a decent amount of time on climate change impacting this area that he's lived his whole life in - and took us through large areas of water that didn't exist prior to Hurricane Ida in 2021. Very dramatic and real proof of climate changes devastating impact. We saw alligators of all sizes include Matt's baby on board which we all got to hold. The whole trip was wonderful from start to finish.

This tour was amazing. Our guide Brad is knowledgeable and friendly. He clearly loves the ecosystem he lives in. There were a few alligators that came right up to the boat to visit. Highly recommend the private tour to get as much time as possible with these beautiful creatures.

Woth. Every. Cent. Booked this experience for me and my friends - we were three couples. It was amazing to be able to run on our own time and Barbara, who was our driver, was fantastic. She was quick to provide many facts about New Orleans and very sweet. Our tour guide for the air boat ride was Matt who also did not disappoint. Our whole group universally agreed this tour is not one to be missed and worth every cent.

Chaz was our tour guide for our group of 9 and let me just say, we ALL had a great time! Knowledgeable with some good laughs, we couldn't stop talking about this afterwards. We all agreed, this was the most fun and that we'd all love to come back and do it again. Thank you Louisiana Swamp Tours for a great time with my family. We had an amazing time.

Our guide, Dewie was absolutely excellent and really fun. We got to see about 6 alligators despite the cold weather. Dewie was informative and able to show us so many different areas of the swamps. We would recommend that everyone does this on their trip to New Orleans as it’s totally different but really good.

We had an amazing experience on our fan-boat tour of the swamps. I had no idea how beautiful the estuaries were until we were cruising along the water. If you have a choice, Captain Ernie is phenomenal. If you want to learn a thing or two about 'gaters, swamp lands, local history, reptiles in general, and science. Despite it being early season, we saw lots of 'gaters, turtles, cranes, and other beautiful wildlife. It was simply amazing. The bus portion from NOLA out to the boats was perfect - fun knowledgeable driver and a comfortable ride. Thanks guys!
