Giro in barca della palude e tour della piantagione di Whitney da New Orleans
Descrizione
Questo tour combina la palude privata della Mancia con Whitney Plantation. Un decennio fa Whitney Plantation, circa 1752, aprì le sue porte al pubblico per la prima volta nella sua storia come l'unico museo delle piantagioni in Louisiana completamente dedicato alla storia della schiavitù. L'esperienza a Whitney è un tour audio autogestito. I visitatori di Whitney acquisiranno una prospettiva unica sulle persone schiavizzate che vivevano e lavoravano qui attraverso mostre museali, edifici storici restaurati e centinaia di narrazioni in prima persona. Poi è un breve viaggio verso un rifugio faunistico di proprietà privata all'interno della palude della Mancia, dove i capitani Cajun locali ti porteranno in un viaggio indietro ai primi giorni dell'esplorazione della palude. Faranno da Guida al pontone coperto attraverso la mistica palude di cipressi mentre sfoggeranno l'alligatore americano e l'abbondante fauna selvatica. Impara la storia della città di Frenier e la cultura Cajun della pesca, della caccia e della cattura. Preparate gli alligatori che saltano su per uno spuntino!

Itinerario
9:00 & 11:00 Partenze - Tour di 7 ore e mezza La tua esperienza alla Whitney Plantation includerà un tour audio dei terreni.
Anche se chiamato lago, questo è in realtà una grande laguna e un estuario salmastro alimentato da fiumi di acqua dolce e collegato al Golfo del Messico. Con una superficie di 1600 km2 è una delle più grandi zone umide del Nord America.
Guardate la fuoriuscita, un'operazione di controllo delle inondazioni nel basso Mississippi a ovest di New Orleans. Lo spillway, quando aperto, permette alle acque alluvionali del fiume Mississippi di sfociare nel lago Pontchartrain e di qui nel Golfo del Messico.
Questo rifugio faunistico di proprietà privata assicura che non incontrerai altre barche durante il tuo tranquillo viaggio nella palude. I capitani Cajun locali condividono storie personali delle proprie esplorazioni delle paludi e informazioni affascinanti sulle piante e la fauna selvatica che incontrerai. La bellezza primitiva dei cipressi drappeggiati di muschio e l'abbondante fauna selvatica garantiscono alcune immagini sorprendenti! Godetevi una bevanda e uno spuntino dal padiglione all'aperto.

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!
a beautiful day trip! kimberly, our guide for the entire trip, was fun and engaging and shared a lot of interesting history on new orleans. the tour through the whitney plantation was very interesting and moving. a quick stop at the Oak Alley plantation (much larger than the whitney plantation) for a quick lunch and then we headed off to the swamp tour where we saw an incredible variety of animals: many aligators but also wild pigs, raccoons, turtles, birds. it was lovely. the boats have a roof too so you don't get wet even when it rains which it did occasionally on our tour.
