What To Expect

Whitney Plantation

The Whitney Plantation offers you an opportunity to experience the story of plantation life in Louisiana from the perspective of those enslaved. It does a good job of not glorifying the ownership. The 45 min drive home gives you a quick chance to nap prior to hitting the town.

I had booked the combo tour but I was the only person who wanted the combo so they arranged for me to join a kayak only tour. I almost didn't do it and went with a different combo tour on an airboat but I'm glad I did the kayak tour. We went out with Nick and his love for the swamp and wildlife was evident. He spotted animals I would never have seen such as a nesting barred owl, a turtle and gators. I would definitely recommend this trip to see nature in a way I have never seen it before.

Mr Alex Wallace did his best to meet all of our needs. He was on point from 8am-4pm with advice, information on the city and bayou, vegetation, wildlife and New Orleans. It was a great way to see gators and the Whitney plantation.

The aligators where hiding, but nonetheless. it was a magical experience. The calm and feel in the swamp canal, the bald cypress, the heron and owls and the Kayak ride was awsome. Our guid was super friendly and open to any discussion, he's a real nature lover, talking with him was enjoyable. We en-up in a dock restaurant near the Lake Pontchartrain that was ok. BC seafood would have been better but it was closed on Sunday. Visit at plantation was really instructive and eye-openning. A must to understand the history and real-facts about slavery history.
