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.

Very kind steamboat company; given my inability to take the tour on the scheduled day, they made proposals to reschedule the booking. Punctual, means of transport, bus, clean and comfortable, guide available and pleasant in her storytelling. Everything well organized
Jane and Donald were a great guide and driver duo. Whitney plantation was informational and sobering so it paired well with the fun experience of the swamp ride. We saw lots of gators, pigs, raccoons and turtles.
A full day in southeastern Louisiana - complete with history, and wild animals as well.
Family with 2 teenagers. We enjoyed the Whitney Plantstion tour very much. It was moving and very educational for all of us. We absolutely LOVED the swamp boat tour with Captain Dan. It was pouring rain at first and that added to the magic. The swamp was beautiful, relaxing and teeming with interesting creatures. We saw alligators, raccoon, wild pigs and a variety of birds. It was magical.
Thank you so much for enjoying this tour with your teens. It is history that brings another lifetime to light, and then an adventure into the "wild side" of southeast Louisiana.
Captain Dustin was great, funny and has a great play list by the way. He is really entertaining if you have a sense of humor this is your captain to get.
Captain Dustin shows how much he enjoys touring with our visitors.
Thomas was EXCELLENT! He was so knowledgeable and seemed genuinely happy explain the "circle of life" in the swamp us. This man not only loves what he does, he LIVES it!!! Truly a treasure.

Thank you from Robert and Alton and our entire crew.
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
Good advice on arriving with your group, Dustin. We appreciate your review on Captain Dustin, swamp guide extraordinaire.
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.
Although we do not include lunch in the tour description, we can understand that the guide's comments may have been interrupted differently. Thank you for the input.
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 a great 5 star review. Thank you.
