Overview

The Oak Alley plantation tour is one of the most magnificent plantation tours near New Orleans because of the 28 evenly spaced, huge Oak Trees that go from the river road to the Plantation House. The Greek Revival home dates back to 1837. Located on the grounds is a restaurant, blacksmith shop, Souvenir Shop and antique farm equipment. Next up is an airboat tour - hold onto your hat! Our New Orleans Airboat Swamp Tour is a high speed adventure that is part tour and part ride. Along the way, you will get a personal tour by your local Captain. Our airboats have stadium seating, so that the person in front of you does not obstruct your view. So, every airboat seat is great for experiencing the tour and viewing the wildlife.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Great River Road, Louisiana

The Oak Alley Plantation is located 70 miles or about 1 hour 10 min from the French Quarter. Travel along Great River Road and marvel at the antebellum mansions.

Stop At: Oak Alley Plantation, 3645 Highway 18, Vacherie, LA 70090-7079

You will spend approximately 2 hours at the plantation. The house tour will be about 35 minutes in length. The Oak Alley plantation house tour is provided by Plantation tour guides. The remainder of your time will be spent with self-exploration of the grounds. If you use your time wisely, you can grab a sandwich at the gift shop for lunch and still have time to walk the grounds. You'll then be brought to the swamp tour dock for your next adventure.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Barataria Preserve, Marrero, LA

On this tour, you will experience the best of both: an informative swamp tour and high speed thrill airboat ride. You will travel at high speeds in the airboat then slow down and stop for pictures. Your Captain will give you a tour of a life time explaining the culture, animals, and the swamps. You may even experience a close encounter with some of the local swamp life. Please note: the order of the combination tours may change based upon availability and weather.

We had such a wonderful and memorable experience. So informative of the area and the wildlife. We held a baby alligator and seen a lot of alligators in the water. I was concerned about bugs, but didn’t see any, thankfully!!

Very beautiful, but unfortunately not enough time there. Needed more time to be able to listen to the talk about the slaves. We were unable to do this as house tour overlapped and then we were due back at the bus. More time needed here please.

I would rate the swamp tour with 10 stars if I could. It was fun, entertaining and educational. The guide was hilarious. The plantation tour was just OK…the tour guide was nice enough, but difficult to understand.

This experience was great. For the swamp tour we really got out and moved around and saw something like 20 alligators and really interesting birds and it was fun cruising around on the airboat. The plantation was interesting and I enjoyed walking around the grounds. I recommend the tour.
