Airboat Adventures
Alligators. Swamp. Airboats. Sounds amazing!
Louisiana Airboat Adventures is located less than 30 minutes from the French Quarter. They’ll even come pick you up for their swamp tours.
This is different from the commercial New Orleans swamp tours. Guests at Airboat adventures can hop on speciality fan boats and get up close with gators and other exotic wildlife, including endangered birds, flora and fauna.
In their words, “it’s like taking a step back in time and seeing Louisana the way it was before the hustle and bustle of modern life.”
So, put your phone down. Disconnect. Take some time for you and your friends to travel high above the marshes and soak in some nature.
With over 20,000 acres of tidewater cypress swamp, this is your opportunity to gators, snakes, turtles, egrets, herons and more. The tours last about 2 hours, so schedule accordingly.
