Swamp & Plantation Tour

Explore the Maurepas Swamp on our customized flat-bottom boat. Our small group size of six ensures that you get a chance to ask our local naturalist captain all the questions you want. Our small boat’s engine doesn’t scare wildlife away and allows us to get deeper into the swamp than you would with the large-boat operators. In fact, there are no other boat tours in the area where we go, which allows for a really special experience. Learn more and see more!

For lunch, we visit one of our favorite local Cajun restaurants (note that lunch is not included in the tour price).

After lunch, we visit the Whitney Plantation, which aims to give visitors a realistic look at life in the pre-Civil War South. While the restored antebellum mansion is beautiful and grand, the walking tour tells the story of this part of American history through the eyes of the enslaved. It’s an educational and moving experience not to be missed.

What’s Included

• Guided 2-hour tour of the Maurepas Swamp in a purpose-built boat.
• 90-minute audio walking tour of Whitney Plantation.
• A professional driver who provides attentive service and expert insights throughout the day.
• Convenient personal pick-up, drop-off, and transportation between all activities.

Swamp Boat Cruise & Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans

7 hours and 45 minutes

This tour combines a visit to a River Road mansion and a cruise through the swamps of south Louisiana.

On our 9am & 11am departures - you'll experience a bygone era in one of the South’s most beautiful settings- Oak Alley Plantation , built in 1839. Marvel at the unbelievable quarter-mile long alley of 28 magnificent Oak trees, each over 250 years old, and view the majestic cypress trees in Louisiana’s swamps bordering the Mississippi River.

We also have a 1pm departure that visits Destrehan Plantation .  Visit our Swamp Boat Ride & Destrehan Planation Tour from New Orleans listing for more details on this 5 1/2 hour option.

Your guided tour will reveal the fascinating stories of the home and its history. Perhaps the most photographed plantation over the years, Oak Alley has been the setting for such motion pictures as Interview with a Vampire, Primary Colors, and the wedding of Bo and Hope from the daytime soap opera, Days of our Lives. On your journey to this historic setting, you'll also have the opportunity to enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Pontchartrain as you cross the Bonnet Carre Spillway (the flood outlet of the Mississippi River).   Travel past Whitney, Evergreen, Felicity & St. Joseph Plantations, ghosts of the past that front the Mississippi River, where rich crops of sugar cane, cotton, and indigo from these fertile lands once traveled to far ports of trade. Experience the following exhibits on 28 historic acres: Slavery at Oak Alley, East and West Gardens, Blacksmith Shop and Sugarcane Theater.  You can purchase lunch, a snack, salad or sandwich in the Plantation Café to enjoy at the picnic tables or aboard the coach.

Note: Due to the plantations home’s historic nature, access to the second floor is by stairs only. No video is allowed inside the plantation home. Walking the grounds is an integral part of this experience.

Includes tour of plantation home, narrated boat cruise, and Motorcoach transportation.

• 5-Star NOLA Adventures •

Checking out the bayou is an essential part of being in New Orleans and this tour was ideal as one that is ecologically friendly (using kayaks, not feeding the wildlife). Kelly was a knowledgeable and entertaining host.

This trip was so worth every penny! Our guide, Colin, was fantastic. He was funny and knowledgeable. The scenery was so beautiful and I would definitely do this again. I'd highly recommend this Hidden Adventure Tours to anyone!

The trip was well organized. Our guide was a lot of fun and shared really interesting perspectives and information about the Bayou. We saw gators and the scenery was incredible. Highly recommended if you enjoy kayaking & nature.

Our tour guide was really knowledgeable about New Orleans & the bayous. We did the combo tour. We saw gators, went to a delicious local restaurant, and visited Whitney plantation. I would definitely suggest doing this tour if you’re looking!
