Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this swamp boat ride?

A: Great question! There’s no strict age limit, but I’d say kids around 3 and up will get the most out of it. Just make sure they're tall enough to wear the life jackets provided. It’s definitely a fun family outing!

Q: Is there a lot of walking involved at the plantations?

A: Yes, there’s a bit of walking at both Oak Alley and Destrehan. Oak Alley has those iconic oak trees, so you’ll want to stroll around. It’s not crazy strenuous, but wear comfy shoes! Also, check their sites for any accessibility options.

Q: What if the weather's bad? Can we reschedule?

A: Absolutely! If the weather is bad, they usually offer to reschedule for another day. Just make sure you call them ahead of time to check availability. They’re pretty accommodating when it comes to adverse weather.

Thinking about a swamp boat ride and plantation tour for my parents’ anniversary!

I’m looking at getting my parents this combo tour. They love history and nature, and I think they’d get a kick out of seeing alligators and the beautiful Oak Alley! Has anyone done this? What was the highlight for you? I’d love to hear some personal experiences before I pull the trigger!

Just booked the swamp and plantation tour—what should I wear?

I’m super excited about my upcoming trip to New Orleans and just booked this swamp boat ride/plantation tour! What’s the dress code? Should I dress for the swamp or the plantation? Any tips?
