New Orleans: Small Airboat Ride
About this experience
Take a family-friendly airboat tour through the bayous near Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. Navigate the moss-covered cypress swamp that was once home to the 19th-century pirate and smuggler, Jean Lafitte.
Listen to engaging commentary from a local guide while spotting wildlife like alligators, turtles, snakes, egrets, herons, and ibis along the forested shoreline. Choose between driving yourself or opting for hotel pickup. Note that hotel pickups start 75 minutes before the tour, but ridesharing and taxis do not serve this area.
Tours are available in the morning and afternoon. The small-group tour is limited to ten people, making for an intimate experience.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
