Private Airboat Options
We have airboats available in multiple sizes for private tours:
6-passenger airboat (ideal for groups of 6 or fewer)
10-passenger airboat (fits 7-10 people comfortably)
16-passenger airboat (perfect for groups of 11-16)
30-passenger airboat (accommodates large groups of 17-30)
For very large groups, we also offer slower-paced covered pontoon boats that can seat up to 72 passengers. Contact us with your group size and we'll match you with the ideal private boat.
Optional Transportation
Round-trip transportation is available from the French Quarter or CBD to the swamp tour departure point, about a 30 minute drive each way. We recommend adding our transportation unless your group has your own vehicles, as ride-shares like Uber/Lyft can be unreliable and expensive in the rural areas.
Private transportation via bus or van can also be arranged for your group if needed, pending availability. Minimum booking times usually apply. Contact us for a quote.

Testimonial
Great Experience with Gators & Ghosts!
I worked with Lenny to book a Gator tour and a Ghost Tour for my company while we were in town for a conference. Lenny was amazing and accommodating. He helped me pick the right tours for my groups and even arranged transportation to and from the swamp!

The group that went on the Gator Tour said the tour guide was very entertaining and gave our group a show getting hands-on with the gators!
The group that went on the Ghost Tour said they saw tons of landmarks and the guide was very knowledgeable and answered every question thrown at them.
