A real booking team helps match your group to an available departure and the right boat. Calling is the fastest way to check current availability and ask about pickup, age rules, or accessibility before seats are reserved.
1. Call or complete the form: Call 504-618-1692 or send the form on this page. A form submission is a request for contact, not confirmed seats.
2. Choose a date and departure: There are 6 daily departures: 8 am, 9:45 am, 12 pm, 2 pm, 4 pm, and 6 pm. The 6:00 PM departure runs when daylight allows.
3. Pick a boat: Share your party size and any age, height, pregnancy, or wheelchair needs so the team can help you choose a small airboat, large airboat, or covered pontoon.
4. Choose transportation: Add hotel pickup or say that you will self-drive. Self-driving guests receive the correct partner dock address after confirmation.
5. Pay and save confirmation: Pay by phone card, not at the dock. After your seats are reserved, save the confirmation email, text, and payment receipt from the provider.
Book ahead for weekends, holidays, and Mardi Gras. Groups of six or more should book at least six weeks ahead when possible. Advance booking gives the team more options, but it does not guarantee a departure until your seats are confirmed.
Need a tour today or tomorrow? Call 504-618-1692. Last-minute seats may be available, but availability changes and is never guaranteed.
A phone conversation or form submission starts the booking process. Your seats are confirmed only after the booking team has checked availability, completed phone-card payment, reserved the seats, and sent your confirmation by email and text. You also receive a payment receipt from the provider.
The booking office partners with Coast Guard certified captains and operators. Self-driving guests receive the correct partner dock address after confirmation, while pickup guests receive their pickup instructions.
If you do not receive the confirmation or a detail looks wrong, call 504-618-1692 before traveling to the tour. There is no app or customer portal required.
Every offered boat tour lasts 1 hour 45 minutes on the water. Self-driving guests should arrive 15 to 30 minutes before departure for check-in.
Bring the email or text confirmation and follow the transportation details in it. Wildlife is wild, so sightings are not guaranteed.
Small airboat: Carries 6 to 10 passengers. Every rider must be at least age 5 and at least 48 inches tall.
Large airboat: Carries 15 to 27 passengers. The same age and height restrictions apply.
Covered pontoon: Welcomes all ages and expectant mothers. A standard-width wheelchair can board.
