New Orleans airboat tours spend more time moving through the swamp than sitting still, but the entire ride is not at high speed. On the 1.5hrs Barataria Swamp Small Airboat Tour, the captain mixes faster runs across open marsh with slower cruising and stops for American alligators, turtles, birds, and narration. The exact balance changes with wildlife activity and conditions that day, so a good sighting may keep the boat stopped longer before the ride picks up speed again.
