10/10 Would book again! Isabella was super sweet gave us so much history and information about the city and was on time and communicative regarding pick up & drop off. The airboat guy was hilarious and was able to tell us some information about the swamp and showed us pictures of the alligators because it was too cold to see them (but we knew that so it was okay)

Get ready for an exhilarating 1.5 hour airboat ride deep into secluded bayous in Cajun Country. You will see all sorts of wildlife on your journey - alligators, giant catfish and nutrias. Then, continue onto Destrehan Plantation for a glimpse into the historic past of New Orleans. The small-group atmosphere ensures a more personal experience.

We were picked up from outside our hotel in New Orleans and taken by minibus to the swamp, where there were several airboats coming and going, each with 8 or 9 passengers. Our guide took us out into the swamp and along channels where we met a few alligators. I say "met" because the guide knows them all individually: where they hang out, their histories, their personalities, and what liberties he could take. Fascinating and fun, and the swamp itself is beautiful.
