Airboat Tours By Arthur Matherne

We went in early March and Our bachelorette part had an amazing tour with Chad! He was so knowledgeable and fun he made our trip great! We saw bald eagles, small and large alligators, catfish, spoonbills and everything in between.It was really an experiences you should not pass up. The airboat is so fun and not like any other boating excursion I'd ever been on. Highly highly highly recommend!

Without a doubt one of the coolest experiences I've had since moving back to southern Louisiana. Went with my girlfriend and two close local friends, and had an absolute blast. We went out on a sunset tour, and our guide and driver, Chad, is a very skilled driver and extremely knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife. These pics don't do justice to the beauty of the area we toured. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend this company to anyone looking to tour the beauty of the southern Louisiana marshlands. Thanks again Chad, you made the experience memorable.

This was the best airboat experience I have taken since I moved to Louisiana about 8 years ago. I try a different place once a year when family or friends are in town whom haven't been to Louisiana, and generally it's the same thing, different place. One was near a garbage dump, which was undesirable. Some of the big ones feel like there's just too many tourists taking a large bus and loading onto boat after boat. This company stood out in that it is a small family company, the tour was a bit more secluded and a bit quieter because it's further out from the city, and the boats were smaller and thus the tour was more personal. The tour guide took a pic of our group when the boat stopped on the levee, which was really nice. He showed us multiple gators, gave us education about the area and other environmental considerations in the area, I learned a bit more about gators, and the gator you get to hold had a twist - hint, it wasn't a gator that he brings in a cooler like the other tours. This is the first time I feel like I have found the airboat tour to take friends and family to, will definitely return!

We came into the tour with high expectations but this tour left them in the dust. We had Captain Chad and you could feel how passionate he is for the area as he shared his knowledge of all the various plants and animals that inhabit the swamp. We were so excited to see gators and he made sure we got up close and personal (while being safe of course)! At the end we were ready to sign up for the next tour going out of only it wasn't fullWe will absolutely be back for another tour with Airboats by Arthur!

Chad was amazing! So much fun and learned so much about the wild and the the town! I 100% recommend this company! I came down for the Eras tour and this was equally as fun! The staff is so kind!

Chad was great! Very informative and personable. The tour gave us a great understanding of local flora and fauna, and the dynamics of the ecosystem. We were able to get close up with the wildlife. Truly a memorable experience. Lots of smiles all around.

This was a surprising adventure!Chad doesn't just guide Tours. He lives his life in the swamp. The airboat was way more fun than a regular boat. We all got to handle a little alligator after being shown how to do it. There were 2 huge alligators Chad called to the boat for "manger ". The ground in the swamp moves like a wave as we glided over it. You are looking around the boat for alligators or snakes, or running rabbits. You are never what is going to happen next. Look up airboats tour for a day you and your friends won't forget real soon .

Enjoyed an amazing time on this airboat with Capt. Jeremy this week.! Perfect day on the bayou and family really enjoyed the time on the water. Operation was very efficient and very happy we went with this tour!Highly recommend going with them! Was also awesome and lucky to have Deena Alsamara help us out on van service (recommended when you book) from the Quarter to Des Allemands.

Such an amazing experience. Would definitely recommend two hour tour. Chad was so knowledgeable and an amazing guide. Makes me want to quit my job and move to the swamp. The beauty of nature everywhere.

Our trip started out with the delightful ladies in the front office. I felt like I was talking to family. Captain Jeremy loaded us on the boat with another family and off we went. The boat skims pretty fast across the water and up narrow waterways but it was also very relaxing. Jeremy would stop and explain the different flora and fauna which was pretty interesting. No big alligators on this trip, but the two babies he caught were entertaining since you can see them up close. The two little kids really enjoyed the ride too, both with big smiles. 5-stars, reasonably priced, short drive from New Orleans. Awesome! Tip: If you call and they say they they are full, call the next am. PS: Jeremy is a great guy!
