This was so much fun! We saw lots of the bayou, turtles and alligators. Even got to hold one! Our guide Richard was very interesting. Loved the Cajun accent!!
Pick up and drop off is at the Natchez steamboat site.

Overview
This family-friendly airboat tour of the wetlands near New Orleans includes round-trip transportation from the city to save you the hassle of planning your own rides to and from the French Quarter. Once you’re out on the water, catch sight of wildlife such as alligators and nutria with help from your guide, who knows the ins and outs of this natural Louisiana landscape.
What to Expect

I took this airboat tour September 2017 and it was a lot of fun. Definitely have to do the airboat rather than the swamp tour. Very unique and entertaining seeing all the gators too. Great day out on the Bayou.
