    If you ever wanted to see a preserved cypress swamp complete with gators, owls, bald eagles, and of…read morecourse, gators, then this is definitely the place. Capt Woody walked out rockin' the black alternate Boucher #9, so we knew we were in for a good time! The knowledge he had about the area was incredible. The tour length also far exceeded our expectations. That combined with it's short travel from NOLA made it a perfect destination for an afternoon adventure. When you're in the area, we highly recommend checking this place out! You won't be dissapointed!

    Our family had an absolute blast on the 90-minute airboat tour with Gerald! We brought our two…read moreteenage boys, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to New Orleans. The 90 minutes flew by way too fast. We honestly could have stayed out there all day! Gerald was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. He shared fascinating facts about the Louisiana swamp while making sure everyone had an exciting, memorable experience. We saw multiple alligators up close along with plenty of other wildlife, and the speed and thrill of the airboat ride made it even more unforgettable. If you're trying to decide between the shorter tour and the 90-minute tour, do yourself a favor and book the 90 minutes. You'll still wish it were longer! This was the perfect adventure for our family, and our teenage boys haven't stopped talking about it. Highly recommend Airboat Tours by Arthur, and if you get Gerald as your captain, you're in for an amazing experience! We'll definitely be back!

    Meh, glad we went, but would not book with them and cannot recommend. We decided to book and drive…read moreourselves there since it was a bit more expensive for us to drive than pay for three people to go from their office in downtown. They told us to be there 15 minutes before our tour start time and we were there 20 minutes before, but the tour guide was 10 minutes late past the start of the tour itself. We thought we were in the wrong place and tried to get in contact with the tour agency. Got voicemail the first time and it was this random woman's number, but then called the same number a minute later and a guy told us the tour operator was on his way and then needed to pick up the supplies. It seems that they should have communicated that earlier and they should have a better system in place. The launch from the boat area was into a busy area right under the freeway and our guide basically was like hangout there and wait for me. That foreshadowed the rest of the tour for us, he basically was distant from us most of the tour, either way in front or way behind and we were a total tour of four people. There was no discussion about what we would see beyond him showing us alligators. At one point we were in the deeper section and a massive log was in the way, he went over and faced the opposite direction while the four of us struggled to get our kayaks over the log. He told us to go around and we got stuck because it was more elevated on the side and just sat on his phone the entire time while we helped each other. I get we were a group coming together, but it felt like he just told us which way to go, but didn't do any real guiding. We even helped him load and unload the supplies from the kayak. I think this tour company needs to be better organized and train their guides on what they should do to become tour guides.

    I booked a private photo tour and a group kayaking tour. Both were outstanding. I got great photos…read moreand learned a lot.
