Full Day Oak Alley Plantation and Swamp Boat Tour from New Orleans

Overview

On this full-day tour, you'll be driven to the Oak Alley Plantation House, then see the Cajuns of the bayou living and surviving in harmony with the swamps. Located about an hour and a half outside the city of New Orleans, Oak Alley is one of the most magnificent plantation tours because of the 28, evenly spaced, huge Oak Trees that go from the river road to the Plantation House. Experience bayou living where here, the waterways are their highways. From the relaxed comfort of our covered New Orleans Swamp Tour Boats, you will drift slowly past a 2000 year old Indian Burial Mound, a Cajun cemetery and Fishing village! You may see the wildlife that made the Barataria Swamps the Crown Jewel of the Louisiana Purchase.

What To Expect

Oak Alley Plantation

Oak Alley Plantation Tour: The Greek revival home dates back to 1837. Located on the grounds, is a restaurant, blacksmith shop, souvenir shop and antique farm equipment. It is a comprehensive plantation experience. The tour of the Oak Alley’s house is conducted by guides in authentic plantation style apparel. Walking is required for this tour. Plantation house to the restaurant and souvenir shop is about one block in distance. There are benches along the path, shaded by the Oaks.

Barataria Preserve

The New Orleans swamp tour boats are fully narrated and our captains are natives of the Barataria Swamps with a background of gator hunting, fishing and trapping. They will entertain you and amaze you with the ecology of the swampland. They have lived the life! Here, birds, snakes, turtles, fur animals, and gators are the kings of the swamp and easily spotted in spring, summer, and fall. Gators do hibernate during the cold winter months, but lay on the bayou banks on warmer days. So even in Winter, our native Captains can sometimes find a sunning Gator on our tour. The slow drift of our tour boats through moss draped trees and small waterways, will provide ample opportunity for viewing and photography. Your comfort is guaranteed on our tour boats. They have a roof, restroom, cushioned seats, and windows that can be raised or lowered during cold or rainy weather, along with plenty of standing and walking room. These tours are entertaining, educational and exciting.

the swap tour was really interesting and fun. I was scared of mosquito, turned out okay. our guide said mosquito only come out at night. saw quite some alligators :-) the plantation tour was okay... the famous mint julep is too sweet, maybe just for me...

Great day trip!!! Drivers from New Orleans and back were great. Oak Alley was beautiful and peaceful. The swamp tour was fantastic! Our guide, Chaz, is a local guy who gave us great information and answered all of our questions. Its amazing to see alligators in their natural environment (not a zoo). Highly recommend this outing.

Overall, we had a nice day, however there were hiccups along the way so we did not fully enjoy the day. The tour company never showed up to pick numerous guests up at various hotel across New Orleans. The company then blamed us saying that the buses came and never saw us, which was very false considering we were outside of our hotel 10-12 minutes early from the original time that they had confirmed the night before. They then switch our tour completely without telling anyone because they said Viator did not provide them with our cell phone numbers at the time of the booking. We were forced to not do the airboat tour and instead do a pontoon boat tour, which is not what we wanted, so that was very disappointing. Oak Alley Planation is picturesque! It is absolutely beautiful. I do wish we had a little bit more time there to explore the grounds. The tour of the house is about 35-40 minutes with a guide. Definitely worth while to see!
