On this full-day tour, you'll be driven to the Oak Alley Plantation House, then see the Cajuns of the bayou living and surviving in harmony with the swamps. Located about an hour and a half outside the city of New Orleans, Oak Alley is one of the most magnificent plantation tours because of the 28, evenly spaced, huge Oak Trees that go from the river road to the Plantation House. Experience bayou living where here, the waterways are their highways. From the relaxed comfort of our covered New Orleans Swamp Tour Boats, you will drift slowly past a 2000 year old Indian Burial Mound, a Cajun cemetery and Fishing village! You may see the wildlife that made the Barataria Swamps the Crown Jewel of the Louisiana Purchase.

Q&A

Q: Are kids allowed on the Oak Alley Plantation and Swamp Boat Tour?

A: Yes, kids are welcome on the tour! It’s a great family outing, and there are usually activities that kids can enjoy, especially on the swamp boat. Just make sure to keep an eye on them around the water and listen to the guides for safety instructions. Also, consider bringing snacks for the kids since it can be a long day!

Q: What should I wear for the swamp tour?

A: Definitely wear comfortable clothes! Light layers are best since it can get hot on the boat and cooler in the swamp. Also, wear closed-toe shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy. And don’t forget sunscreen and bug spray, especially if you’re going in warmer months!

Q: What if we need to reschedule our tour?

A: You can usually reschedule if you give them at least 48 hours' notice. Just call their customer service, and they’re pretty accommodating. Keep in mind that last-minute changes might be harder, especially if it’s during peak season, so plan ahead if you can!
