The Captain of the tour was super! I will return and hopefully I can request him.

Excellent

This was an exilerating experience to say the least. I am a fan of speed and horsepower, so this was right up my alley. Capt Mike operated the airboat with such a smooth flow, that there was no doubt that he was extremely skilled and experienced. He was informative and courteous. He provided a first time experience that will keep us coming back again. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience

We had such a great time on this tour! We had a fun time getting sprayed on the airboat, seeing a lot of alligators, and the beautiful swamps! Would definitely do this again!

Best part of the trip!

Enjoyed the tour. Picked my family up at the hotel and dropped us off. Very convenient.  Very knowledgeable tour guide. Captain Ernie!! Educated you about alligators and their environment. Spoke a little Cajun for us that I didn’t understand. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed the tour

Our tour guide was the BEST! His name was Kenny! He was really funny and showed us a good time!

Air boat swamp tour

What a blast!! This was a thrilling and educational ride! Chad was fantastic! He gave us an exciting airboat ride, and also slowed things down and talked about the wildlife and ecology of the bayou. We got to see the alligators up close. For the best airboat ride ask for Chad!

Swamp tour Was great my favorite thing I did in New Orleans

Airboat Swamp tour

The air. boat tour was a good combination of the adventure of an air boat while getting information about the samp and the animals that inhabit it.

Fun tour

My brother’s and I had a great time on the bayou. Captain Dewie  was very knowledgeable about the different wildlife and terrain. He really did a great job to ensure we had a good time. It was cold so not a lot of gators out but we did see a few. Will definitely come back and do it again when it’s not winter!

Awesome!!

Saw 3 gators (a little one was as we were pulling out from the loading zone!) Our guide, Kenny was very entertaining (I was his mark to be roasted.......which I loved!) He also gave us the best tour he could while looking out for our safety. A storm cloud was brewing and we had to cut the trip short by 30 minutes so as not to get struck by lightning.

So much fun.

It was amazing experience. Totally do it again

Late night gator tour

Well just to begin, reconsider going in August.  It has nothing to do with Rajun Cajun, they were beyond GREAT, more about that in a minute.  But August is 95-100 degree with 90% humidity.  Ungodly HOT!!!
Now for the good stuff.  We took the shuttle option which picked us up at the front door of the hotel.  About a 30-45 drive to the Rajun Cajun facility.  They checked us in right away and about 10-15 minutes until our boat was ready.  Our guide, sorry cant remember his name, was a young blond man who was very knowledgeable and a keen sense of humor.  It was a 9 passenger air boat, which is there smallest boat.  3 rows of 3 person padded benches.  Be warned, no seatbelts or rails, so hang-on.
Saw some small Gators as soon as we got out onto the main swampway.  The guide talked about how they eat and sleep as well as the history of some of the plantlife around us.  All pretty informative stuff.
Once we got out of the main swampway and into some back water, he revved up the fan and we started really moving.  Stopped a few times to get closer looks at a few Gators and he gave us some more information.
Now for the warning.  STAY HYDRATED!!!!  Bring some water with you and maybe a small ice chest with ice and more water.  My wife got overheated and really ill.  Fortunately it was at the very end of the tour.  I asked the guide to take us back and he again revved up the boat and brought us back right away.  Thanks to his concern, things could have gotten much worse.  He helped us bring her to the air conditioned office and got us more ice and water.  Cannot thank them enough for all of there honest help and concern.  Glad to say that after about 1-2 hours later, my wife was ready to get back in vacation mode.
Highly recommend Rajun Cajun.  Worth the $120 each (included transportation).  It was everything we expected.  IT did NOT dissappoint.

Rajun Cajun Airboat Tour will NOT disappoint

It awakes the senses when you are in the wild. The Mississippi was such a beauty and plenty of alligators to see. Our guide Brian was brilliant, definetly would repeat the experience if I were closer by. Thank you!

Unforgettable!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would definitely go back!

I would go back!

Has to be the best tour I took this trip would recommend this to everyone so much fun. The plantion was amazing lots of history could have spent the whole day there! The swamp tour was surreal saw so many alligators guide was funny and also informative. Only recommendation is to bring drinks and snacks it’s tight on time and what is offered at the snack bar at the boat tour is junk food. Must do for a fun vacation!
