Yes, New Orleans airboat tours include a guide, and the captain is the guide during the trip. While operating the airboat, such as the Large Airboat Tour, through Louisiana's cypress swamps, the captain points out wildlife, explains the wetlands, and shares local history during slower sections and stops. Many rides last around 1.5hrs to 2hrs, which gives the captain time to talk about American alligators, bald eagles, brown pelicans, and the habitat along the route.
