Small Airboat And Oak Alley Plantation Tour From New Orleans

It was so much fun, the tour driver was informative, so sweet the way he spoke about the gators, they are like his pets. I felt safe even though there were no seatbelts

Wonderful day spent exploring Oak Alley.. and tons of fun on the swamp. Oak Alley is a bit heavy historically.. but important. They make amazing mint juleps, too. Winding down in the swamp afterwards was perfect. Seeing all those alligators in a unique ecosystem was so interesting.

This was by far an amazing experience and more than I expected. They were knowledgeable and fun! They genuinely care for the gators and know them by name. Don't waste your time or money going with another group. This is THE tour. I highly recommend.

Grounds were beautiful. Unfortunately, the Tour left much to be desired. It was a vague overview of the first family that lived there and some self-guided portion. It did not give an in-depth understanding of plantation Life, how plantation works. slave era or anything else of interest. I was disappointed. I would however recommend the boat tour offered by ragin Cajun tours. It was great! Try the Whitney plantation. I heard it gave a more informative and historical tour.

Airboat trip was awesome, Mike was a great guide, saw lots of gators. Our all day driver Brandon was awesome too very informative and very friendly.

We started our first of two tours at Oak Alley Plantation. The main house tour provides a picture in time. Every space was explained in detail throughout the house. Our second adventure was with Ragin Cajun swamp tours. We went on the small airboat. We stopped often to see alligators fed big marshmallows from the boat. Amazing bird life throughout. We did one faster run for excitement. Great fun.

Oak Alley tour was very limited and not really very informative or entertaining. took the same tour 10-15 yrs ago and much longer, with many stories about life on the plantation - visiting guests, slaves, kitchens, bed rolling. this was bare bones and pretty bad. Oak Alley grounds are pretty. Mint Julep was good. food was acceptable and not too touristy expensive. the airboat ride was fun. since warm out many alligators. less fun on the airboat than other trips we have taken - during the cold months where there were very few alligators, but they made more fun running the airboat about in curly ques. guess summer they fill with animals, winter with boat tricks.

We had a wonderful day at both the plantation house tour and swamp boat! Our driver Brian, was absolutely fantastic. Humorous and informative. The whole experience was exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic day out & about. The plantation was fascinating with some sad history of slavery. Learnt a lot. The airboat ride was great. A lot of fun and a lot of gators to see. Larry, handle -BamBam, kept us informed throughout the trip telling us a lot about the area. Recommended

Great tour start to finish. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable as he shuffles us between locations. Always one-time and polite.

Long drive. Lots of down time. Plantation is not worth the drive or the time allotted. Swamp tour was simply a large mud flat. Not very scenic. It was good to see alligators on a sunny day, but that is it. Not worth the steep price.

Very informative tour of Oak Alley, restaurant has great food, airboat tour was very fun and guide was great!

Airboat Tour on the Voodoo Queen was fantastic! Oak Alley plantation was impressive for its beauty… but the standard tour was a bit white washed!

Our driver was great he gave us great information about the city, our excursion & was very funny! The plantation was magical with the trees and grounds so well kept. The gift shop & food at the restaurant was great! The mansion was incredible & our tour guide had great stories about the history of the families that had all lived on the grounds. The airboat ride was fun & we got to feed the alligators, was super cool!

We loved the combo of the air boat ride and Plantantion tour! The guides were so friendly and we saw tons of gators!

Great tour. Driver Brett was great. He got us through New Orleans with ease. He was very patient with the crazy traffic. Once at the dock the airboat captain took us back into small inlets. Along the way Brett gave great information about the activities and areas we were driving through. The tour at Oak Alley was good. We had enough time for the house tour and explore on our own.

Our airboat ride was a lot of fun with John as our guide. He made every effort to provide an entertaining ride and get us up close to alligators.

Overall this tour was great! Plantation was absolutely beautiful and we saw many alligators on our airboat tour. However, the driver was running a little behind in the beginning and it seemed rushed. We also broke down on the side of the road on our way to the airboat part and had to sit out in the 86 degree heat and sun for about an hour while they were trying to get us to the airboat destination. Our airboat tour time was cut a little shorter but it was long enough to enjoy. They apologized but it would have been nice to try to make it right.

Easy and time efficient transportation. Beautiful plantation and adventurous swamp tour. Would book again!

Air boat tour was the star of my vacation Our tour guide Chad was amazing , very informative and fun !! Gators were in abundance!! Would recommend this tour to anyone !!

The beauty of this plantation is bar none, exquisite. The live oaks are the real show. Stunning landscaping. This is mostly an educational experience of slavery and sugar cane. All three go hand in hand, you cannot have one without the other two. The guides do a wonderful job of explaining all three with honesty. It was a brutal way to exist. My children learning that the stunning beauty before them, was built by the horrible ugliness in the fields. Its important to remember the good, the bad and the ugly of life during these times so we never repeat them.

The mansion landscape was beautiful - thanks to the slaves, and to close with a natural beautiful swamp landscape - thanks be to God

Great fun filled day. The plantation house is beautiful and quite the sight to see. The airboat ride was fun, not overly fast and not scary at all. Loves seeing all the gators that come right to the boats for marshmallows!
