Oak Alley Plantation and Small Airboat Tour from New Orleans
Overview
Oak Alley Plantation features picturesque Oak Trees, beautiful landscaping, an elegant 1837 Greek Revival style plantation house, a blacksmith shop, a restaurant, and antique farm equipment. Guests will get a tour of the Oak Alley’s house and time to explore. After your plantation tour, you will experience the best of both: an educational swamp tour and a high speed airboat ride. You will travel at high speeds on the airboat, but also slow down and stop for pictures. Along the way, you will get a personal tour by your local Captain.
