Swamp Boat Ride and Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans
1.Swamp Boat Ride and Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans
Spend about eight hours beyond New Orleans, visiting Oak Alley or Destrehan Plantation before cruising Manchac Swamp on a covered pontoon boat. Expect plantation stories, moss-draped cypress trees, and possible sightings of alligators, raccoons, wild hogs, and birds. The bus leaves from Toulouse Street in the French Quarter; the plantation depends on your departure time.
“The swamp tour was great. Very enjoyable. The Oak Alley plantation was interesting, but the house tour was decidedly lacking. Little information about the house itself. The tour guide was unenthusiastic, at best. Relatively details about the home itself. Our bus tour guide (Jane?) was excellent. Very interesting and informative.”
