Y'all be careful when purchasing from The Boat Yard Inc !…read more My husband bought a boat from The Boat Yard with a warranty. Less than a year later, the motor stopped working. It's been in the shop for over a month. He brought it to Landry's (in Des Allemands). They took the whole motor apart and confirmed it was band aided. Come to find out, the motor had been worked on before, but you couldn't tell unless the whole motor was taken apart. None of this was mentioned when purchasing and the warranty won't cover anything & the owner is useless. When my husband called to talk to the owner, he basically said "if this is the worst you've been f**ked, you haven't been living long enough."

Wonderful staff, friendly offering kind suggestions even for photos or silly actions. Food was great! The shrimp pasta was my favorite, least was the brisket it was more like ham- yet everything together.. wow. All of the sauces with the mashed potatoes or rolls wonderful. Filled up on bread pudding, a dessert I strongly associate with NOLA. Clean bathrooms, great ambience and lighting. Loved looking out of the Kings Room to see the paddle wheel working! Definitely a place I'd come back to!

There are a few airboat tour companies near New Orleans, but we decided to go with Airboat Adventures due to the price and positive reviews online. I booked the tour online through their website. If you want something more private, go witha smaller airboat, which is a bit more expensive than the large airboat. But because we're chickens, we decided to go with the larger airboat that held more people. The tour offers transportation to their location by bus for an extra fee, but we decided to drive our own car since they provided on-site parking. I do recommend driving your own car, because the drive was absolutely scenic. A lot of green and we got to see all the beautiful houses built on stilts on the way. Not to mention, it's about a 30 min drive from New Orleans. When we arrived, there were plenty of parking. They also had bathrooms inside and on the exterior of their store, which were very clean! Inside the store, you can check out a live albino alligator and take photos while you wait. You can also wait outside on the dock -- plenty of seating and you can grab a drink at the bar. The tour was amazing and so was our tour guide. The weather was nice, we saw a lot of gators sunbathing a bald eagle, and its nest. It was more than what I expected! Everyone in my party had a great time and more memories were made! Side note: Airboats are very loud so make sure you keep the headphones on!

Captain Curt has no fear. Best tour ever!…read more We had the absolute best time with Jean Lafitte Swamp & Airboat Tours! The airboat ride itself was a blast, but our guide, Captain Curt, totally stole the show. The guy is a walking encyclopedia on the swamp, but more importantly, the man is absolutely fearless. Watching him work with the wild gators--including having the brass balls to give one a straight-up kiss on the snout--was wild. Fast, fun, and totally insane. 10/10 would do it again!

The Mississippi River trail is what locals call "The Levee". Much of my family is from the River…read moreParishes so I grew up walking on, skating on and just hanging out up on the levee-- as it is directly across the street from my family members homes. Looking at the river and seeing wildlife. Depending on how high the river is cresting you may see more wildlife. The coolest thing about this trail is that over the years it's been improved with a paved roadway which makes it great for cycling long distances along the river. I live uptown and though I haven't braved the entirety of the trail, if I found the energy, I could ride my bike from uptown to Destrehan to go visit my grandma's house...about 20 miles one way. One of these days I'll get it together and take the ride. The Levee is the barrier between the River and the towns on the other side...it's flood protection and also a recreational space. We love a multifunctional system.

Almost gave it 4 stars until I fell asleep on this afternoon cruise. We got the 2 pm jazz cruise…read more Didn't do the food with it because it wasn't recommended by most. Arrive around 130. No direction given as to where to line up, where to show our ticket. Finally stopped someone with a name tag and they just pointed to a line of people. So we line up under this tent. We are out of the sun but there's zero air moving with 2 fans. Its 93 degrees n I am very much a fan of heat but not like that. Anyhow, someone comes thru the line n scans your ticket barcode before boarding. They could just put this in the instructions/email or something. Over that, there's several bars throughout the boat and a snack bar downstairs with hotdogs etc. Drinks were fine. Didn't eat This is why I took another star away. Unless u buy the lunch plated food you really need to sit outside. The tables inside are reserved for them. The band is playing inside so u cant hardly them. The narrator during the cruise was difficult to hear which prompted my impromptu afternoon nap. Woke up when we were docking. Heard better jazz from my hotel balcony.

Hopefully I hope our future tours are equipped with buddy fellas Derek. Thanks for the fun. Danny and Vicki

She picked us up and made the ride enjoyable before we even arrived. Once there, we checked in at a charming little house with a cute gift shop while we waited for our boat. The airboat tour itself was incredible! We got to feed marshmallows to the alligators, learned so much about the swamp, and met some amazing gators, including Benjamin and Stone. The highlight was getting to pet Pee Wee, the adorable 18-month-old alligator! The staff was knowledgeable, fun, and made the entire experience memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

The boat ride through the marsh felt exciting--almost like drifting quickly over water while still being smooth and safe. We were able to get up close to alligators, which was an unforgettable experience. Beyond the scenery, the guide shared interesting insights about wetland conservation, the preservation of Louisiana's coastline, and local history and culture, which added real depth to the tour. Overall, this is a fun and engaging activity that's suitable for the whole family. Highly recommended.

Our group watched in awe whenever he'd lean out of the boat and feed the gators marshmallows. I definitely suggest booking a pontoon boat instead of an airboat which is incredibly loud by comparison.

He purposely used the most cartoonish voice when sharing facts on the drive over and it was unbearable to listen to.

Our tour took longer and most of bus were already waiting for the smaller tour folks. He took extra steps above and beyond to personalize our trip in the swamp. He cautioned the 3 of us that the front seats would get wet--- yes indeedy, wet fun. We saw baby gators and their mama who made hissing sounds. The other small group got to hold a baby but our driver said best not to upset the protective mom. He told us that out of 200 babies only a small percentage will survive. He gave us a better show: did you know raccoons and gators like to eat marshmallows? He even fed the raccoon with its outstretched paws and told the huge gator to give him a kiss. The gator opened its mouth twice with sharp teeth and let him put his face there. He even pet it on its head. Couple more gators came swimming fighting for their share of marshmallow. He told us they could fight to their death. Never tipped anyone a Ben Franklin before but our tour driver earned it.
