Detailed itinerary

Meet your guide at any location in greater New Orleans. Your ride could be in a black 10-passenger van, a white 14-passenger minibus, or a 20-passenger minibus. Pickup time is your choice. The driver will provide an ice chest or two for your use, and will stop a local shop for snacks and refreshments (alcoholic or non, it's up to you). The you'll cruse along the river on the way to your destination in the swamps.

The airboats are powered by a 454 Chevy engine that will produce speeds of up to 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour. They are propelled by a huge fan that will blow air from the back of the boat in excess of 200 miles (321 kilometers) an hour. These tours are truly a blast! They ride in inches of water and go where traditional boats cannot go! The boats were designed to take you to inaccessible areas of the swamp, places that you cannot reach by foot or car. It is a unique experience. This is a fast and fun thrill ride that will last a lifetime! After your swamp tour is complete, you will be returned to your point of pickup.
