Overview
Take part in this EXCLUSIVE private charter boat (6 passengers) City Balloon Tours VIP Swamp Experience! With this package, you'll get roundtrip transportation to and from your hotel, a private small airboat (6 passengers), and a welcome alcoholic beverage. The flat-bottom airboat allows access to even the shallowest of water and smallest water ways, where many tidal birds and swamp creatures make their homes. Your native guide will narrate the sights, such as tupelo-gum trees and cypress trees covered with moss, as you zoom through the water. Learn about the bayou’s native creatures, such as nutria, turtles, and alligators. Back at the dock, stop by the albino alligator exhibit or visit the gift shop for souvenirs and local snacks.
