Visite guidée d'une journée à Whitney Plantation et Airboat Swamp

Aperçu
Take a trip down to Plantation Country and explore Whitney Museum Plantation. During the 75-minute self-guided audio walking tour, visitors will gain a unique perspective on the lives of the enslaved people on a Louisiana sugar plantation, learning their stories through the real oral histories recorded by the Federal Writers Project during the Depression.

After your plantation tour we will head down to Westwego Louisiana where you have a chance to enjoy a sit down lunch (AT OWN EXPENSE).

After lunch we will take you across the Cajun Swamp where you take a 90 minutes cover pontoon fast-speed boat ride. The Captains will navigate their way through the swamp. You will learn about Louisiana Wetlands, the inhabitants of the swamp, the life and habits of the American Alligators.

A fantastic trip with Dionne who demonstrated great knowledge of the history and sights of New Orleans. The Whitney Plantation audio tour provided respectful and informative insight into the historical slave trade around the area. Our airboat swamp tour was educative and adrenaline packed as we got to see large parts of the bayou and many alligators.

The driver was really friendly and he spoke to all of us during some of the journey, pointing interesting things out to us and giving us tips. First part of the trip was to the Whitney plantation, now I haven't been to any other plantations but if you do want to learn about what it was like for the people who were put through this horrible experience then I would recommend the whitney plantation. It's really eye opening and very sad, but it's apart if history and I feel like everyone should know how they were treated. You walk round the whole plantation, its mainly based outside, tou do walk through the house, but they don't focus on that part. You are given earphones to wear and people who went through this speak to you, telling you about their experience back when it was an active plantation. It also goes into detail about where they lived and the uprising that happened. I would recommend this tour highly. The other part of the tour was the airboat swamp tour, I really enjoyed this. I didn't expect to see an alligator much less how many we did actually get to see. As soon as we got on the boat and started out, we turned a corner and an alligator was there with another boat, our tour guide stopped the boat to get the alligator over to our boat. They coax them over with chicken, and the alligator jumps up to eat it, it was a very good experience. The tour guide also managed to get an alligator on the boat and walked it across by coaxing it with the chicken, it didn't stop and look at us which I was thankful for 😅. The tour guide was really good and full of knowledge about the swamp and the wildlife that lives around the swamp, he was able to spot quite a few different animals which was really cool. He also went to a part of the swamp which was open water and took us on a fast ride around it, so if you're an adrenaline junkie you'd probably really enjoy that part of the trip. All in all I would definitely recommend this tour company, it was worth the money and everybody we came across were really friendly. Both tours were really good in different ways, plantation was good because you saw through the eyes of the slaves and the swamp tour was good because of the alligators. If you can fit this into your trip to New Orleans do it you won't regret it!
