Adventure 2000 provides swamp and river tours where visitors can get up close and personal with wild gators. Hop aboard the boat and glide through the mangrove trees as you head toward a ship graveyard and then pass through a swamp tunnel to visit ancient cannibalistic Native American sites. The boats at Adventure 2000 Swamp and River Tours are designed to be quiet, so you will be guaranteed to see plenty of alligators and other critters on your adventure through the swamp.

Louisiana Airboat tours take you on a speed-filled adventure through the swamp to get up-close and personal with Texas and Louisiana wildlife. Louisiana Airboats has recently upgraded from using six passenger airboats to new high-speed 22 passenger airboats. Tourists benefit from these bigger boats by buying tickets at reduced prices, and they can also fit more family or friends on each tour. Curious alligators may swim alongside the boat, but the boats are designed so that they cannot climb inside.
