McGee's Louisiana Swamp & Airboat Tours — Attraction in Breaux Bridge

Traveled to southern Louisiana the first week of November and stayed in Broussard.  Our adventures began with an airboat ride through the swamp. We were referred to McGee's Swamp Tours and I can say that it was not only a grand ride but our tour guide, Armond, was extremely informative on many subjects with a broad knowledge of the swamp, the local area, and would stop several times, during the hour and half boat ride, to explain the history and to point out the critters that inhabit the swamp.  He was a character who not only drove the airboat but we also found him to be very entertaining...and as my wife described him, "younger looking from a distance".  We also had a personal meeting with his pet alligator, who indulged us as we stopped for a visit, by surfacing and swimming up to and along the edge of the boat. We were advised to keep our seats, that no petting was allowed, nor should we encourage any bad behavior such dangling any fingers or toes over the side.  It was an exciting experience made even more exciting as our boat transversed the surface of the water at a speed that made you glad you remembered to wear your sunglasses for eye protection.  No bugs...let me repeat that...No bugs!! It was a fantastic experience and one I would encourage everyone to find the time to do...at least once. The airboat ride is very reasonably priced, as mentioned the tour guide is a colorful character but very professional and conscious of passenger safety.  You find everyone involved to very friendly and helpful. I endorse McGee's Swamp Tours.  You get a pulse pounding but extremely safe airboat  ride...and you learn something too. ...

I recently took a boat tour with McGee’s Louisiana Swamp, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel welcome and at ease. Our tour guide was hands down the best—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the swamp ecosystem. The tour was a perfect blend of fun and education, as we learned about the local wildlife, including alligators, birds, and unique plant life.

The views were breathtaking; the swamp is more beautiful and serene than I could have imagined, with lush greenery, cypress trees, and winding waterways. It felt like we were in a completely different world, far from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Not only did we get to see incredible wildlife up close, but the guide also shared fascinating facts about the history and ecology of the area. It was an enriching experience that left me with a deeper appreciation for Louisiana’s natural beauty.

I highly recommend McGee’s Louisiana Swamp tour to anyone looking for an educational, fun, and unforgettable adventure. The staff and tour guide made the experience truly special, and I left with...
