Small-Group Half-Day Airboat Swamp Adventure & Plantation Tour from New Orleans

Your bayou and plantation tour begins with morning pickup from your downtown New Orleans hotel. Make sure to grab breakfast and coffee before boarding the bus for the ride to your airboat launch point. In a bayou‐side Cajun Village near Paradis, Louisiana, you’ll transfer to a small airboat for an exhilarating ride. Skirt along the water, viewing the lush greenery and spotting local wildlife.      

Following your bayou adventure, enjoy a relaxing drive along Lake Pontchartrain to Destrehan Plantation, the oldest documented plantation home in the Mississippi Valley. As a costumed guide leads you through the restored antebellum mansion, hear stories of the estate’s former owners and slaves before taking a self‐guided tour through vibrant gardens and down oak‐lined paths.

The tour bus will return you to your hotel at the conclusion of the tour.

Get ready for an exhilarating 1.5 hour airboat ride deep into secluded bayous in Cajun Country. You will see all sorts of wildlife on your journey - alligators, giant catfish and nutrias. Then, continue onto Destrehan Plantation for a glimpse into the historic past of New Orleans. The small-group atmosphere ensures a more personal experience.
