Swamp Boat Ride og Whitney Plantation Tour fra New Orleans
Beskrivelse
Denne tur kombinerer den private Manchac Swamp med Whitney Plantation. For et årti siden åbnede Whitney Plantation, omkring 1752, sine døre for offentligheden for første gang i sin historie som det eneste plantage museum i Louisiana helt dedikeret til slaveriets historie. Oplevelsen på Whitney er en selvkørende lydturné. Besøgende til Whitney vil få et unikt perspektiv på de slaver, der boede og arbejdede her gennem museumsudstillinger, restaurerede historiske vedbygninger og hundredvis af førstepersonsfortællinger. Derefter er det en kort køretur til en privat ejet vildtlevende tilflugt i Manchac Swamp, hvor hjemmelavede Cajun kaptajner vil tage dig på en rejse tilbage til de tidlige dage af swamp udforskning. De vil guide den overdækkede pontoon båd gennem den mystiske cypress swamp mens vise den amerikanske alligator og rigelig dyreliv. Lær historien om byen Frenier og Cajun kulturen af fiskeri, jagt og fælde. Få kameraet klar gators hoppe op for en snack!

iv just returned from a full day tour of whitney plantation and swamp tour great combination the trip was made even better by the very informative,super friendly tour guide robert s what a guy he was superb and driver anton was excellent definitely recommend this tour 100 percent and try to get on with robert s thanks guys
They fill the bus so if traveling with someone or a group get there early. The driver and guide were great. Captain Dustin was amazing for the boat ride
The plantation and swamp tours were great and we learned a lot, but I’m docking one star due to poor communication about lunch. We were only told upon reaching Whitney, when the guide casually asked if the group was okay skipping lunch. After 1–2 people said yes, it was assumed everyone agreed, with no real option or warning beforehand. We spent the full 9–5 day in sweltering heat with only chips and chocolate, which made the experience much harder than it should have been. Food is important on a full-day tour, and better arrangements or clearer communication should be in place.
Great day easy to find starting point Lovely tour guide and bus driver self guided tour at the plantation amazing funny boat guide on the swamp got to see gators being fed and to hold a baby gator amazing day
This tour is a great way to cover two must do experiences in one day. Kimberly was knowledgeable and engaging. She took great care of us. We learned a lot from her.
The guide is exclusively English-speaking. I am French and did not understand anything of the explanations that seemed very informative. Perhaps consider a day for a French-speaking guide. The time is too short to visit the Whitney plantation. The bayou tour is too short. We quickly turned back. The fact of feeding animals with sweets to attract them was quite shocking.
Both the swamp ride and the Whitney Plantation were really great experiences. Swamp ride was informative and the tour guide answered all questions and made sure we left informed. Whitney Plantation had me crying for all the slaves who suffered at the hands of plantation owners and the public in general. We chose Whitney for the education they provide regarding the experiences of slaves. This is a history we need to keep alive and more people need to learn! Only recommendation is that they just put a note to either bring food/snacks or be prepared to purchase at a secondary location.
Kimberly was a wealth of knowledge and paced our tour and commentary really well. She spoke on Nola history, culture, food, and drink, and she even gave out prizes and loaned power banks with various cord outlets. Definitely recommend!
