Small-Group Airboat Swamp Tour with Optional Pickup + Paddlewheeler Creole Queen

Experience the best of New Orleans by river and swamp with the Small-Group Airboat Swamp Tour with Optional Pickup + Paddlewheeler Creole Queen package. This combo blends historic charm with high-speed adventure, offering two unforgettable ways to experience Louisiana’s landscapes.

Your journey begins aboard the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen, an elegant riverboat that cruises the Mississippi River. Choose from the Historic River Cruise, featuring live narration about the Battle of New Orleans and local history, or the Evening Jazz Cruise, where you can dine on a Creole buffet as live jazz sets the tone. Enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline from the open decks and toast to classic Southern hospitality with a drink from the onboard bar.

Next, take your adventure off the river and into the Barataria Basin with a thrilling Small-Group Airboat Swamp Tour. Aboard a 6–12 passenger airboat, you’ll zip through Louisiana’s wetlands at speeds up to 40mph. Your Cajun captain will guide you deep into hidden bayous to spot alligators, herons, and turtles while sharing local legends and swamp lore.

This pairing perfectly captures Louisiana’s contrasts—the graceful rhythm of the Mississippi and the wild rush of the bayou. From the slow churn of a paddlewheel to the whir of an airboat propeller, you’ll see the region from two unforgettable perspectives.
