 From I-10

Take Interstate 10 West from New Orleans (East from Baton Rouge). Exit at Interstate 310 (Exit 220) going South to Highway 90. Turn Right on Highway 90 (Houma Exit) and go approximately 8 miles West to Des Allemands. Go over the Des Allemands bridge & get in the fast lane. Take the third gap in the median this will put you at the top of our driveway. We are approximately 1/4 mile past the foot of the Des Allemands bridge. If you see Franks Lounge or Spahr’s Seafood Restaurant you have gone too far. Turn that baby around & come back!

From US-90 West 

Take US-90 East toward New Orleans. Our location is 9.5 miles east of the LA-1 Port Fourchon exit. Once you enter the town of Des Allemands, you will see Spahr’s Seafood Restaurant. We are located on your right just before the Valero Truck stop. If you pass over the bridge, you’ve gone too far. Turn that baby around & come back!

We do not, but If you take a look at our line links page you'll find some options for transportation services that we work with often. These services will not only pick you up, but will wait at our tour site and bring you back to your destination of choice!

What to wear? 

• Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. We suggest long pants and long sleeves for sunset tours as it will get buggy at dusk. We also advise to wear darker colors that will be less likely to attract bugs.

What to bring?

• Bring along a camera! You will get photo opportunities all along the way of wildlife and scenery.
• Wear sunglasses as the ride is windy while underway and there is a risk of airborne bugs and seeds while treading through the swamps and marshes. 
• Sun block for late morning to early afternoon tours on hotter days.
• Mosquito repellent is a good idea for the sunset tours.
• Bring refreshments if you'd like. You can bring your own small cooler or we may be able to provide one for you to use.
  
• NOTES: No glass containers or bottles on the boats.
• Make sure that your empties go back into the cooler or give them to the captain for disposal.
• No loose items in the boats, they can be sucked into the propeller and cause serious damage.
• Louisiana state law limits alcoholic beverages to one case on ice per vessel. (The captain is not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages under any circumstances. )

When should we arrive?

• 15 minutes prior to your scheduled reservation.

What safety gear do we provide?

• Hearing protection (Ear muffs and/or ear plugs.)
• Eye protection for sunset tours or by request.
• Personal Flotation Device (PFD/ Life Vest.)

When is the best time to book a tour? 

• The last tour of the day, THE SUNSET TOUR (90 minute minimum) is by far the most unique airboating experience that we offer. It's like two totally different tours balled up into one. The first part of the tour is comparable to our other tours throughout the day except for the fact that most of the wildlife that we are in search of are mostly nocturnal and are coming out of daytime hiding. Although some are out during the day, everything is more active at night. As the sun sets on the swamp our captains structure your tour to make sure you will be in the moss draped cypress swamp. These sunsets over the cypress swamp scenery are absolutely picturesque. Once the darkness has set in, the swamp comes to life. As the captain shines his spotlight, you will see the eyes of several different types of wildlife reflecting from distances as far as a quarter of a mile. The bright light allows you to get really close to the wildlife without spooking them because they can’t judge how close you are as you approach. This is by far the best opportunity to get some hands-on interaction with some of the swamp’s coolest creatures. Then enjoy a moonlight cruise back to the landing as you gaze at the stars.
