Amazing Swap Tour

Small-Group Airboat Swamp Tour with Downtown New Orleans Pickup
852kimberlyc, Sep 2026
Amazing Swap Tour
We found the whole experience absolutely awesome! Started with Gerald (bus driver) who was friendly & a pleasure to talk with - gave plenty of recommendations for the city. Bebop (airboat captain) showed the group a great time- seen several alligators, educating about swap & even held a little gator (Frankie). Even the store lady (sorry don’t recall her name) was welcoming & super funny and quite a character herself. Tour is worth the price.

Very educational and moving. The tour guide was excellent in explaining everything.In the visitors center they had a wall for guests to leave post-it notes; asking to leave a message what the tour MEANT to you. I walked away, reflecting on how we need to CHERISH everything we have and HOLD ON to everyone we LOVE.

Alligators galore!
It was a wonderful experience. Our guide knew his way on the water/swamp and even took us to a couple of specific areas where he knew alligators would be. I loved seeing nature at its finest, and the swamp boat ride was exhilarating.

New Orleans Boat Cruise and Cajun Seafood Boil Experience

Incredible Evening with great food
Beyond the French Quarter did an outstanding job and thought of everything to make our experience memorable. It was an easy Lyft ride from downtown and an interesting ride outside the city seeing another side of the Bayou. Chef Pipp was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining and we felt like we were in good hands navigating into the wild life area as he pointed out all of the birds we had never seen before and pointing out the alligators swimming around. My husband had fun helping chop the food and pull up the crab pots for the seafood boil. It was amazing! Delicious!! There was a very nice assortment of beverage available for us to purchase, which made the whole experience easy and fun for us to sit back, relax and enjoy the cool vibe they've got set up right on the water. We would actually do it again, which is rarely the case for our Cool Broadway experiences which tend more to be one time deals. We highly recommend. THANKS CAPTAIN PIPP!!

Airboat, plantation tours and lunch
This tour was fun, educational, beautiful and interesting. Starting with the airboat cruise and seeing alligators, their babies plus the fauna was spectacular. The guide was charming, funny and hands on. Laura house tour was very interesting and greatly detailed by the tour guide. And last, Houmas House. Food was awesome (love that creole food) and the tour and the grounds were phenomenal. It is a long day, so be prepared. Worth the time and money

Amazing tour from start to finish!
Isabelle was an amazing tour guide—friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable! She made the entire experience so much fun while sharing fascinating stories and history along the way.We started with the small airboat tour at Ragin Cajun, where Mike kept us entertained and even taught us that alligators love marshmallows too! 🐊🍡 It was such a fun and memorable experience.Then we headed to Destrehan Plantation, where Isabelle gave us an informative and fascinating history lesson that really brought the plantation’s past to life.From the exciting airboat ride to the rich history of Destrehan Plantation, this was an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this tour—especially if you’re looking for a fun, educational, and memorable way to experience Louisiana!

From pick up to drop off - we had a great experience. Our guide Al, was laid back, funny, had amazing stories and history of the area. The heat was excruciating but he made sure to check on everyone and kept us entertained. The fact that he was easy on the eyes was just a bonus! Definitely recommend this trip. And will definitely be doing my this again.

The tour of a lifetime!
I asked my hotel concierge which tour to book and he said this was the one. We did the 6 person tour to get the most personalized experience. Jay was our tour guide, a Barataria Island native and very knowledgeable and passionate about the area, the wildlife, fish, birds and history.The ride was fast and fun in between areas of mire exploration. We saw a cemetery that is losing ground, parts of the swamp that were widened due to forestry needs and from hurricane damage.He answered all questions and called out to the gators in French…the females came runnIng! Obviously familiar with Jay and knowing there was nothing to fear, we had 4 gators around our boat. We tossed marshmallows to them before Jay got out the hot dogs and showed us a lot of excitement with gators even up on the boat. He’d kiss them and stick his head in their mouths for a bit of fun that didn’t seem overly dangerous (just exciting) The snap of their jaws will be a sound to remember!A great time and worth every penny for the smaller tour experience.

My mom bought this experience for me as a surprise. I have always wanted to fly a plane. This was beyond our expectations. My flight instructor Jacob is very knowledgeable and passionate about flying. He was a lot of fun and made sure we had a great experience.
