ニューオーリンズ発ホイットニー プランテーションとエアボート ツアー

This was my first time in New Orleans and this outing was my favorite part of our trip. Our bus driver/tour guide was both extremely friendly and incredibly informative, and the bus was comfortable and air conditioned. It's about an hour drive out to the plantations and along the way he shared interesting historical facts and pointed out the pumps/levy systems and other historical sites. A lot of the information he shared provided helpful context for when we arrived at the Whitney plantation. I felt we had the perfect amount of time at each location (Whitney Plantation - we had plenty of time to get through both the outdoor walk and indoor exhibit, Oak Alley for a quick lunch stop, and then the swamp tour). The swamp tour was a fun way to end the day after a more somber morning of reflection. I actually didn't expect the swamp tour to be so informative - I learned a ton about alligators and how the wildlife organizations in Louisiana manage their populations. I also can totally see why they are called "swamp puppies"...I found them surprisingly cute! They were literally everywhere and swam up to the boat when called by name (yes, they have names for them!). Our boat had some engine trouble, but our driver was awesome, kept calm, and got us quickly back to the dock to switch to a new boat. It was a hot day, but with the breeze out on the water it felt really nice. Due to our engine trouble, our bus had to wait a few extra minutes for us and we got back to the city around 4:30pm, with plenty of time to make it to our dinner reservations. All in all, this was a great day thanks to the awesome hospitality of our tour guides and how seamlessly they managed the timelines and transportation between sites. Next time I'm in New Orleans, I would definitely do this again!

Whitney Plantation tells a thoughtful and respectful story of a tragic period in our nation's history, one that every one of us as citizens should know and understand deeply. It's especially important now as so much of this story is being swept under the rug because it might make some of us uncomfortable. See it, you won't be disappointed.

Very educational and moving. The tour guide was excellent in explaining everything. In the visitors center they had a wall for guests to leave post-it notes; asking to leave a message what the tour MEANT to you. I walked away, reflecting on how we need to CHERISH everything we have and HOLD ON to everyone we LOVE.

Overall great experience all around! Thank you to Mr. B for a great trip and even sharing restaurant recommendations!

We really enjoyed this tour and thought the combination of the Whitney Plantation and the airboat experience made for a fantastic day. The Whitney Plantation was incredibly interesting, moving, and educational. We appreciated that the experience focused on the lives and stories of the enslaved people who lived and worked there, which gave us a much deeper understanding of the history. It was very well done and definitely worth visiting. The airboat tour was a completely different experience and so much fun! It was a great way to get out into the Louisiana wetlands, see the scenery and wildlife, and end the day on a more adventurous note. We loved having both experiences combined into one tour. Educational, memorable, and fun—definitely one of the highlights of our trip and something we would recommend!

Recently I did this tour my BDay wknd & honestly I enjoyed it! From the driver to the ppl @ the tour sites. If you’re coming in the Summer months I would definitely recommend you bring a fan, stay hydrated & wear sunscreen it does get a hot walking around the Plantation. The Swamp tour wasn’t too bad because once you board the boat you do get a lil breeze from rowing around. All in all I enjoyed both experiences. 10/10 The Plantation 10/10 was very informative & just to be able to experience it I loved it. The audio was good & explains a lot of history of the Plantation & displays. The swamp also a 10/10 the boat driver was very polite, had humor & gave us a lot of information about the gators in LA. Which we were able to see many of them. My FaV was Clobber & Ray!

Our tour guide was excellent. As we traveled to the plantation, he not only shared info about it and slave practices in general, but also on Hurricane Katrina. As a native of New Orleans, he had an excellent perspective on the city. He was a knowledgeable historian ac well.

Pick up and drop off were on time. The driver was great, he gave us so much local history. The self guided plantation visit was laid out exquisitely. The grounds were well kept and the information well explained. Visiting the plantation was very touching.

Tour was amazing! The plantation tour was educational and informative. The praline stop was incredible. The airboat tour was amazing. Getting to see gators up close in the wild was awesome. Highly recommend!

Whitney Plantation is a moving experience. Let yourself go back to this time as the audio takes you through the history. Take time to read the signs and plaques. Imaging what was felt & experienced during this time saddened me. I think this was one of my top experiences in NOLA. I originally booked our airboat tour separately with abother company highly recommended - but then wanted to add the Plantation so this tour made better sense, economically too!! Our airboat guide Mike was awesome at Rajin Cajun. And our bus driver felt like a favorite Aunt - pointing sites out along the way - loved her. Name began with M I think (shame on me for bot being able to give her a proper shout out!)
