Swamp Boat Ride and Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans

After boarding an air-conditioned coach in the French Quarter, follow the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline to Oak Alley Plantation, perhaps the most photographed plantation in the lower Mississippi Valley. Marvel at the unbelievable alley of 28 magnificent Oak trees, each over 250 years old, as your guide reveals the fascinating stories of the home and its history.

Continue on to the Manchac Swamp for a wildlife tour in a covered boat that provides protection from weather in all seasons. Learn about swamp culture and the endangered ecosystem from a guide as you look for alligators, raccoons, snakes, birdlife, and giant rodents. The swamp is privately owned, so you don't have to worry about crowds.

Return to the convenient French Quarter drop-off point.
