Enjoy the history and culture as you drive through some of the most interesting and beautiful neighborhoods of New Orleans on a private swamp tour. We then head down to the bayous where you will take a 1 hour and 30-minute airboat swamp adventure.
Perceived as beautiful and menacing, south Louisiana’s ancient swamps have long captivated writers, historians, and travelers. Modern-day explorers still have an intense curiosity about the beauty found in Louisiana swamps—the untouched nature and groves of gnarled cypress trees dripping with lush Spanish moss.
We will continue our journey upriver to visit a beautiful antebellum Plantation. While there you will experience life in the French and Spanish Colonial periods, through the antebellum grandeur of the sugar barons, to the ravages of the Civil War and the rebirth of reconstruction. You will find yourself immersed in the rich history of Louisiana when French was the language, and the white gold of sugar drove the economy. Family stories of those free and enslaved set against the fabric of history will intrigue every visitor to the site.
Participants will have to provide car seats for passengers under 2 years old.
