Description

Begin your day with a visit to either Oak Alley or Laura Plantation, each steeped in history and unique charm. Oak Alley, known for its iconic live oak trees, was built in the 19th century and offers a glimpse into Louisiana's plantation era. Laura Plantation, on the other hand, boasts Federal-style woodwork and Norman roof trusses, providing a different perspective on the region's history. After your plantation tour, the adventure continues with an exhilarating airboat tour. Your knowledgeable captain will introduce you to the rich culture, wildlife, and swamps of Louisiana. These small airboats ensure a personalized experience, accommodating up to 9 passengers. The airboat tour takes place entirely on private property, guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind experience distinct from other operators. While airboats can reach high speeds, our main emphasis is on ensuring a safe and relaxed exploration, complete with hearing protection for your comfort. The tour returns you to the vibrant French Quarter, offering a perfect blend of history, nature, and thrills.
