Oak Alley Plantation and Small Airboat Tour from New Orleans

Overview

Oak Alley Plantation features picturesque Oak Trees, beautiful landscaping, an elegant 1837 Greek Revival style plantation house, a blacksmith shop, a restaurant, and antique farm equipment. Guests will get a tour of the Oak Alley’s house and time to explore. After your plantation tour, you will experience the best of both: an educational swamp tour and a high speed airboat ride. You will travel at high speeds on the airboat, but also slow down and stop for pictures. Along the way, you will get a personal tour by your local Captain.

What To Expect

Barataria Preserve

Your swamp tour is only 35 minutes from New Orleans, yet a world apart. This New Orleans air-boat tour is a high speed adventure that is part tour, part thrill ride. You will travel at high speeds in the 6 or 9 passenger boat, then slow down and stop for photo opportunities. Along the way, you will get a personal tour by your local Captain. Our air-boats have stadium seating, so that the person in front of you does not obstruct your view, and every seat is great for experiencing the tour and viewing the wildlife. Yes, gators will get close, very close. So close, that you will be able to look into those reptilian eyes.

Oak Alley Plantation

In combination with the airboat tour, you'll also visit the Oak Alley Plantation, which was built in 1837, with a 1/4 mile path, from River Road to the plantation house, lined with twenty-eight evenly spaced Oaks. There are additional attractions on the grounds which includes a restaurant, cafe and gift shop. The choice is yours how you would like to use your free hour.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Plantation is beautiful! Definitely recommend the 6-passenger Swamp Airboat Tour!! So much fun and our guide MARTY was FABULOUS!!!
Only problem is that we felt like we had more time on the bus than anything else. Would have liked more time at the Plantation and on the Airboat!

Very successful to combine the Mississippi marshes with the Oak Alley plantation. It was a day filled with experiences but without feeling too much. Guided tours of the marshes were provided by a local guide company. The Oak Alley plantation is run by a foundation that has its own guides. So Louisiana Tour Company's contribution is to arrange reservations with the two organizers, plus bus transfers in between. Good, but it is therefore possible to make the visits on your own for those who prefer to take the car.

The road to the plantation from New Orleans is about 1:30 hrs or so but it is totally worth it, it is beautiful and the oak road is incredible, but the real experience is the swamp, our guide who I don't remember the name but They are in the photos, it is the best! Super nice and friendly. Lots of surprises in the swamp and a bit of speed too. The best tour I have taken by far, totally worth it.
