Meet the Captains

Authentic Louisiana outdoorsmen

Our captains are unique and amazing!

A great captain makes for a great tour. Our captains have the technical skills to pilot our airboats safely, along with the deep local knowledge and traditions that you want to experience. They’re also in the entertainment business so they’ll make sure you have a safe and enjoyable ride though our swamps.

Captain Randy Young , Founder of Ragin Cajun Airboat Tours. Randy was born and raised in Destrehan, Louisiana. He is an avid outdoorsman and has traveled the world for the best hunting and fishing locations. He enjoys entertaining guests with the knowledge and personal experiences of living the bayou life firsthand. He is committed to providing a true an authentic Cajun experience; while striving to be the absolute best tour operation in Louisiana.

Captain Justin Shaw , is a Louisiana native-born on a shrimp boat outside of Lafayette, Louisiana (we can’t make this stuff up, folks!) He was raised hunting and fishing in the southern marshes of Louisiana. He catches everything from Alligators, shrimp, bass, and many more native animals and fish. He has only left the state of Louisiana a handful of times; to hunt bear and moose in Northern Canada. Now he spends his time offshore fishing in Louisiana and inland duck hunting in marshes, that is when he’s not playing with Alligators!

Captain Scott Walker , was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but was raised in the small town of Laplace, Louisiana. He grew up fishing speckled trout and redfish in Houma, La. When he was younger, he would catch all of his crawfish in the Bonnet Carre Spillway-right outside of NOLA. He is a proud father of two young boys, aged 16 and 18. He shares his love of sportsman’s activities with his boys. His youngest son is Autistic and isn’t able to ride on the airboats-but that doesn’t stop him from adventurin’ with his beloved dad! Captain Scott is a former Lake Ponchatrain fishing captain and has been featured on numerous Southeast Louisiana television shows and internet specials. Alligators are his true passion and learns more and more about them as he interacts with them and sees their reactions.

What our Customers Say

Awesome tour with a great guide. They do have a small store with bathrooms and drinks and also have a bar attached to the building. There is a large covered patio to wait in. The gators got pretty close to the boat after the guide was able to call some in. Thankfully the boats are covered and the bugs are not bad during the day. Will definitely come back for another trip!

Ernesto Amador

I can literally not say enough good things about our experience with Atchafalaya Basin Landing Airboat Swamp Tours. Absolutely worth the money we spent for the tour, even if we hadn't had a close experience with a huge freaking alligator.

Jenny Wilson

Had a great time on the airboat tour! My family and I enjoyed ourselves and learned a few things while we were here too. We got to meet gators like Peanut, Hercules, and Clarence. Beautiful sights on the bayou and an awesome tour guide, Nick. It was fun and a MUST for airboat rides. Good for the kids and handicap friendly. Highly recommend!
