Frequently Asked Questions for Private Airboat Swamp Tour with Optional Private Transportation

Question 1

Is alcohol allowed on airboat tours?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, who doesn’t enjoy a cold drink on a boat? We only ask that you not bring any glass bottles onto the airboat with you for safety, aluminum and plastic are fine!

Question 2

How many people can you accommodate in one reservation?

Accepted Answer

Our largest boats seat 17 guests, but we love to send out larger parties in “dueling airboats”, that’s where we split the party between two or more similarly sized boats and send them ripping through the swamp together. It makes for great photos!

Question 3

Do you pick up from Airbnb/ VRBO locations?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The shuttle transportation can almost always pick up your party from a downtown Airbnb. On the rare occasion we may ask your party to relocate to a nearby hotel or intersection for pick up. With the private transportation upgrade the answer is always yes from all locations in New Orleans.

Question 4

Will we see alligators on our swamp tour?

Accepted Answer

While we can’t absolutely guarantee the gators will come to work everyday, they are wild animals after all, there are a lot of gators in the swamp and our captains are experts at finding them!

Question 5

How far is the dock from the city of New Orleans?

Accepted Answer

Our docks are located about a 35 minutes drive from the downtown/French Quarter area. We recommend departing the city one hour before your tour time to get checked in.

Question 6

Are there any who can't ride an airboat?

Accepted Answer

For safety reasons tours are restricted to the following groups: Anyone with back or neck injuries, children under 5 years of age and expectant mothers. You must also be able to board the airboat without assistance. ​​

Question 7

Can we bring a cooler with us on the airboat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are encouraged to bring a cooler onboard. Just remember no glass bottles for safety (aluminum and plastic are fine)

Question 8

What should we wear for our private swamp tour?

Accepted Answer

Please wear clothes that will be comfortable for the weather and be aware there is a chance that you could get a little spray from the swamp. Sandals are just fine, and sunglasses are always a good idea!

Question 9

How do I make a reservation for a large party?

Accepted Answer

We recommend reserving for the largest size your group may be and then adjusting the reservation down from there. We can adjust the headcount until 24 hours prior to the tour. Also for large parties we only charge a 25% deposit to hold the reservation, with full payment due 72 hours before the tour.
