Itinerary – Private Airboat Tour
First, we will pick you up at your hotel and begin our scenic 45-minute drive down to the bayou.
We will leave the city, cross the Mississippi River, and make our way to the beautiful cypress swamps.
We only use the smallest 6-passenger airboats for our excursions because they offer maximum maneuverability and the opportunity to get close enough to touch the wildlife! All of our boats are completely private to you, and a great local Cajun airboat captain.
On the airboat, you will head through the beautiful acres of the Louisiana Swamps.
During the tour, you will explore the native wildlife, interact with some gators, and enjoy some cheeky Cajun humor.
Lastly, we can either return to your hotel, explore the city for sightseeing or even take a short drive to see an antebellum plantation.

Why Take a Private Airboat Tour?
The Transportation: With La Vie New Orleans Private Tours, you will be picked up at your hotel and driven in a private SUV. You will never be in a large shuttle bus with countless pickups and drop-offs at various hotels. This can save you at least an hour of your precious time in the city, and is much more comfortable!
The Airboat: We exclusively use small 6 passenger airboats with no one else on board, aside from your captain. The smaller boats are more intimate and offer much more exclusivity than the typical boats that carry 20 passengers.
The Cajun Captains: We partner with a local company with a few select captains who share our love of our culture and heritage with visitors to New Orleans.
The Waterway: We will explore exquisite acres of swampland, as opposed to using busy public waterways.

What Wildlife Will We See on the Airboat Tour?
Although it is impossible to make 100% guarantees with wild animals, our guests have seen wild alligators on every single trip. Additionally, Louisiana wildlife is rich with both resident and migratory animals. However, their presence can vary wildly from season to season. For example, we may see bald eagles, osprey, ducks, geese, nutria rats, egrets, heron, and more.
