Narrated scenic drive out of the city and along the shores of Lake Ponchartrain to this Plantation on the East bank of the Old River Road: a pilgrimage back in time to the Antebellum South.
Guided tour of DESTREHAN PLANTATION where guides in period costumes will bring to life the stories of generations who lived on and worked this land - both owners and slaves. They will share with you every detail of this mansion's history since 1787. Free time to walk around under a spectacular canopy of live oaks around the mansion and the slave quarters.
We drive down to a remote swamp in Cajun Country for a thrilling high-speed ride onboard 6 PASSENGER AIRBOATS, comfortably gliding over marshes, deep into secluded bayous for approximately 2 HOURS.
You may even get to hold a baby alligator, feed giant catfish, or meet a nutria face to face.
*In case of lightning, the AIRBOAT tour may be shortened, postponed, or replaced with the Cajun Bayou tour because it is a covered boat.
